Hokkaido Seafood Treasures

The Gift of Cold Waters

Hokkaido is the largest and most northernmost prefecture in Japan, well-known for its vast, lush grasslands, mountains, and of course, access to the sea. While the mild climate in the summer draws in crowds looking to avoid sweltering Tokyo summers, and powdery, wide ski slopes in the winter bring in adventurous tourists every year, Hokkaido treasures don’t end there: what it’s really renowned for is its high quality and fresh seafood.
