Hokkaido - Land of beauty and purity

Best time for Lavender viewing!

Hokkaido Lavender
Very pretty and smell good too.
Best viewed in July-August.
Sapporo cityscape by night - Summer

Large urban city of Sapporo

Just like Tokyo, only some buildings are newer.
Otaru's Orgel - Music boxes, highlight of Otaru

Ornate jewellery boxes from Otaru

Otaru is a small town north of Sapporo with alot to do within a small area. Highly recommended, and to think that I contemplated not going there... glad I went!
