Winter in Hokkaido Japan
Winter in Hokkaido is about snow and ice festivals, snow sports, wildlife viewing and some of the best seafood worldwide.
Eastern Hokkaido wears a snowy coat from Siberia. Here, Red-Crown Cranes, Whooper Swans, Long-Tail Tits, Stellar and White Tail Eagles, Ural Owls and a flock of other species are shot by photographers migrating from the U.S., U.K. and China.
Relative to Tokyo and its southern neighbors, Hokkaido prefecture is agricultural and rural. Geothermal sulphate springs keep most villages warm with an onsen or two.
The Okhotsk Sea separate Japan and Russia. Which country’s flag flies over a series of islands has been debated since WWII. This political tension keeps navy ships afloat in the drift ice.
This collection of images are from myself and newfound photography friends with oversized lens.
Photos shot in and around Kushiro, Tsurui Village, Otaru, Sapporo, Asahikawa, and Hakodate.
