Anyone been to Hokkaido before? Which month is the best to go? Preferably not those super cold winter months.

Hi Buddy,
Intend to go Hokkaido? I have been to Tokyo before but that was in June in 2005. For Hokkaido, I think usually end of the year is coldest, if I am not wrong. Japan very near to Taiwan and Hong Kong, right? Since Taiwan and HK are usually colder end of year, so I guess it will be colder in NOV and DEC lor. hee hee....:biggrin4:

I was born in Hokkaido. I would agree with fisher that you go to hokkaido end of the year.. Remember to bring more jacket.. To keep you warm as the weather there could reach up to -3c'..

暧昧让人变得贪心
直到等待失去意义
不能用恨你却不住结局
放遗憾的美丽

But ppl go Hokkaido to see snow.. no? Thought it'd be best to go when it's cold.. nice.. :love4:

Otherwise, if u hate winter, go during july/august. u can see e pretty lavender fields. there's a really yummy lavender cream snack. i think it's better than shiroi kobito. :love4:
