[홋카이도 여행: 네비게이션 & 교통수단 ]
일본 홋카이도에서 대중교통으로 이동하는 것은 불편하며, 가격또한 만만치 않습니다. 그러면, 어떻게 더 싸고 편하게 여행을 즐길 수 있을까요 ?
ETC카드와 홋카이도 익스프레스웨이 패스를 이용하세요!
【ETC 카드】
홋카이도에서 대부분의 렌터카 회사에서는 ETC카드를 제공합니다. 가격은 500엔에서 1000엔 사이입니다. ETC카드를 렌트하시는 경우, 고속도로 요금은 자동으로 결제됩니다(동시에 할인도 받을 수 있습니다.). 가장 많이 사용되는 ETC할인: 주말 할인과 심야 할인
A) 주말 할인: 주말 및 공휴일에 승용차를 대상으로 30% 할인. (도쿄, 오사카 지역 제외)
B) 심야 할인: 심야 0시-4시 사이에 고속도로를 이용하시는 모든 차를 대상으로 30%할인
주말 할인은 여행객에게 보다 유용합니다. 특히 주말 혹은 공휴일에 일본에 오시는 경우에 ETC카드를 이용하시는 것을 추천합니다.
【홋카이도 익스프레스웨이 패스】
홋카이도 익스프레스웨이 패스는 JR Pass와 같이 외국인 관광객을 위한 패스입니다.
어떻게 더 효율적으로 사용할 수 있을까요 ?
다음은, 패스를 사용하지 않았을 때의 톨게이트 요금입니다:
신치토세 공항 → 삿포로 : 편도 1,410 JPY (46.9 km)
신치토세 공항 → 오타루 : 편도 2,220 JPY (77.6 km)
신치토세 공항 → 아사히카와 : 편도 4,730 JPY (164.6 km)
신치토세 공항 → 하코다테 : 편도 5,430 JPY (233.1 km)
홋카이도 익스프레스웨이 패스의 가격:
(가격표의 일부분입니다. 더 자세한 내용은 아래의 URL을 참조해주세요.)
2 DAYS → 3600 엔
3 DAYS → 5100 엔
4 DAYS → 6200 엔
5 DAYS → 6700 엔
6 DAYS → 7200 엔
7 DAYS → 7700 엔
홋카이도 내에서 다양한 지역을 여행하게 되는 경우, 대중교통은 매우 불편하기 때문에 렌트카와 홋카이도 익스프레스웨이 패스를 사용하는 것을 추천드립니다. 다만 삿포로, 오타루 지역만 둘러보는 경우에는 홋카이도 익스프레스웨이 패스는 사실 필요 없습니다.
많은 분들께 이 기사가 도움이 되길 바랍니다! 더 다양한 정보를 원하신다면 직접 메세지를 주세요. 답변 드리겠습니다 :)

关于北海道租车，常见疑问解答贴
之第四篇：自驾游预约好租车后，怎么取车？怎么还车？
——By NO Brainer

在网络上或者电话里完成租车的预约后，实际去预约地点取车时应该怎么做？旅程结束时还车该怎么还？想必很多人都会有这样的疑问，那么小编在这里为您介绍下在预约后，怎样具体取车与还车。
预约在机场进行交接时，通常在预约中有提交自己的飞机航班信息以及具体的取车时间。这时候，我们只需要在指定取车时间到达指定取车地点和租车公司工作人员取得联系就可以了。通常机场都会设立有专门的租车服务台（因租车公司的不同，服务台地址也会有所不同）。以新千岁机场为例，租车服务台位于日本国内线航站楼1F主大厅到达口附近（详见图1）。

一般取车流程：
＝＞到达机场租车服务台联系工作人员（有些公司会在到达口迎接）
＝＞在工作人员的带领下到达租车商店（或者机场停车场）办理租车手续
・签署合同书，在签署之前有不明白的地方一定要向工作人员询问清楚
　　・支付租车费用（支付方式多种，现金、信用卡等）
　　・调整座位，确认儿童椅以及各车载设备等
※在办理租车前，请务必检查是否携带有效的驾驶证并及时了解日本国有关驾驶证的规定。
＝＞办理完租车手续后，取车

一般还车流程：
＝＞在指定地点交换汽车前，请务必在还车地点附近的加油站将汽车加满油
＝＞到达指定还车地点（机场或者指定租车商店）后，将有工作人员来检查汽车是否有损伤，如果有超时情况工作人员会进行超时结算。
　　・如果有需要延的时情况发生，务必和工作人员取得联系（没有联系超时了的话，会有违约金发生）
・还车前请确认车上没有遗留个人物品

[HOKKAIDO TRIP: NAVIGATION AND TRANSPORTATION]

Using a public transportation in Japan, Hokkaido, is not cheap. So, how do we save money? We would like to recommend two economic options:
ETC Card and Hokkaido Expressway Pass!

【ETC CARD】
In Japan, the majority of rental car companies provide ETC Card in their cars. The price is around 500 to 1,000 JPY. If you rent this card you may still have to pay for expressway fees but you will get discounts. The most commonly used ETC discounts are : Weekend Discount and Night Discount.

A) Weekend Discount: On Saturday, Sunday and National Holidays, users of standard size cars can enjoy 30% off (except Tokyo and Osaka areas).

B) Night Discount: Using expressways during 0am-4am, all the users can enjoy 30% off.

The first type is the best deal for travelers. If you come to Japan on holidays or on weekends it’s better to get the ETC Card.

【HOKKAIDO EXPRESSWAY PASS】
Hokkaido Expressway Pass is only purchasable for foreign travelers. It is similar to JR Pass.

How to use it wisely?

First of all, let’s look at the original cost of general expressways:
NEW CHITOSE AIRPORT → Sapporo, one way 1,410 JPY (46.9 km)
NEW CHITOSE AIRPORT → Otaru one, way 2,220 JPY (77.6 km)
NEW CHITOSE AIRPORT → Asahikawa, one way 4,730 JPY (164.6 km)
NEW CHITOSE AIRPORT → Hakodate, one way 5,430 JPY (233.1 km)

And the cost for the Hokkaido Expressway Pass :
(This is only a part of the pricing table, for more details please check the URL below)
http://www.driveplaza.com/trip/drawari/hokkaido_expass/tw.html)
2 DAYS → 3600 yen JPY
3 DAYS → 5100 yen JPY
4 DAYS → 6200 yen JPY
5 DAYS → 6700 yen JPY
6 DAYS → 7200 yen JPY
7 DAYS → 7700 yen JPY

In conclusion, Hokkaido Expressway Pass is recommended if you want to visit several different parts of Hokkaido since the public transportation is not very convenient. But if you only want to spend time in Sapporo or Otaru area then you won’t need Hokkaido Expressway Pass.

We hope this article helps! For further information please contact us directly!

关于北海道租车，常见疑问解答帖
之第三篇：在北海道自驾游，怎么做才能省钱？

——By NO Brainer

日本的高速公费不便宜，那么在北海道自驾游，如何才能省钱呢？小编要推荐两大神器：ETC卡和北海道高速公路PASS。

1. ETC卡
在日本租车时，大部分的租车公司都提供出租ETC卡的服务，价格大约为500-1000日币。租用此卡后，不必停车也可缴纳过路费，而且还能享受ETC折扣。最常用的ETC的折扣有两种：休日折扣和深夜折扣
A. 在周六，周日及日本的法定节日时，在地方（除东京和大阪外的所有地区）使用高速公路，可享受7折优惠（仅限普通车和轻型车）。
B. 在每天的0-4时使用高速公路，可享受7折优惠。

对旅行者来说，最实用的就是第一种折扣了，如果您来的时候赶上日本的节假日或双休日，那么租用ETC卡绝对是划算的。

2. Hokkaido Expressway Pass (簡稱HEP)
北海道高速公路周游券是只有外国人游客才能享受的福利哦。用法类似于JR Pass，买了之后就可以在规定期间内随意使用北海道的高速公里了。需要注意的是，此券必须要和ETC卡一起使用哦。

HEP究竟怎样才划算呢？

让我们先来看看高速公路的普通费用：例如，
新千岁机场→札幌 　 单程¥1,410　(46.9公里)
新千岁机场→小樽　 单程¥2,220　(77.6公里)
新千岁机场→旭川　 单程¥4,730　(164.6公里)
新千岁机场→函馆　 单程¥5,430　(233.1公里)

而HEP的费用为：（一部分价格展示，完整价格表请参考官网：http://www.driveplaza.com/trip/drawari/hokkaido_expass/tw.html）
2天 → ¥3600 日元
3天 → ¥5100 日元
4天 → ¥6200 日元
5天 → ¥6700 日元
6天 → ¥7200 日元
7天 → ¥7700 日元

综上所述，如果你要去的地方多且距离远的话，使用HEP绝对是划算的。如果你只是想在札幌小樽地区活动，且每天只用一次高速公路的话，那就不需要HEP了。

希望这篇文章对您有帮助哦！若有疑问，欢迎咨询NO Brainer。

[INSURANCE FOR RENTAL CAR IN HOKKAIDO]

Driving in snow is not easy for those who is not used to it. It is dangerous, and car insurance is highly recommended upon rentiling a car.
The basic coverage of insurance includes these 4 parts:

① Injuries and deaths to people other than drivers/passengers
② Damages and loss to properties of other than drivers/passengers
③ Damages to vehicles to rent
④ Injuries and dealths to drivers and passengers

Rental car companies have their own insurance systems. Yet some companies have similar systems. Here is an example of a rental car company:

[Basic Package]
When accident occurs, you will have to pay at least

50,000 JPY (compensation for damage of the third-party’s properties)
+50,000 JPY (compensation for damage to the rental car)
+20,000~100,000 JPY NOC (Non Operation Charge) depending the duration where a vehicle is out of service
------------------
120,000~200,000 JPY *not taxable

[Safety Package]
When accident occurs, you will only have to pay the NOC (Non Operation Charge) 20,000 JPY to 100,000 JPY *not taxable

Category1*: 1,000 per day, compared to Basic Package the max amount of charges decreases compared to down to 50,000 when accidents occur.
(*Prices per-day depends on the category of the vehicle)

[Super Safety Package]
This is the most recommended insurance package because there is no excess amount even in an accident.
The insurance company will cover most of the damages.

Category*1: 2,000 per day, then the max $$$ decreases down to 0 when accidents occur.
(*Prices per-day depends on the category of the vehicle)

The price differs depends on the rental car company and the car type. Please contact to NOBrainer for more details.

关于北海道租车，常见疑问解答帖
之第二篇：租车时的保险问题
—— By NO Brainer

租车时非常重要，也最最繁琐的一个问题就是：保险！

在人生地不熟的国外开车，加入一个安心的保险非常重要。但需要用外语搞懂那些晦涩难懂的保险条文，着实是个令人头痛的事情。今天小编就为你剖析一下这些保险套餐有何不同。

先来讲讲什么是NOC（non operation charge）。对于租过车的人来说，这个词绝对不陌生，简单来说，NOC就是营业损失费。即车辆损坏期间租车公司的营业损失费。

再来看看保险公司都保什么。大部分保险所“保”的内容有四点。
1. 第三者赔偿：导致第三者致死的赔偿
2. 财物损失赔偿：导致第三者财务损失的赔偿
3. 车辆损坏赔偿：导致租用车辆受到损坏的赔偿
4. 人身伤害赔偿：导致自己或对方受到人身伤害的赔偿（有上限）

虽说不同的租车公司都有着不同的保险套餐，但是万变不离其中，大致可分为三种类型。

第一种为标准套餐，即当财物损失和车辆损坏时，若赔偿金额低于5万日币时需自己支付，超过5万日币时自己支付5万日币，超过的部分由保险公司支付。
简单的说，出事故所要承担的费用为：
5万日币的财物损坏赔偿＋5万日币的车辆损坏赔偿＋NOC（租车公司营业损失费）

第二种为免责套餐，当财物损失赔偿和车辆损坏赔偿金额低于5万日币时也不需自己支付，只需支付公司一定的营业损失费。
即出事故所要承担的费用为：
0财物损坏赔偿 + 0车辆损坏赔偿 + NOC（租车公司营业损失费）

第三种为超级安心套餐，不但财物损失赔偿和车辆损坏不用承担，连公司的营业损失费也不用负担。
即出事故所要承担的费用为：
0财物损坏赔偿 + 0车辆损坏赔偿 + 0租车公司营业损失费

当然，不同的公司的保险，具体细节也会有不同。
营业损失费有多少？具体套餐内容是什么？
详情还请咨询NO Brainer。

[SAFE TO DRIVE IN WINTER IN HOKKAIDO?]

Have you ever driven in a snowy condition?
Below are the points to take into consideration, if you have not:

You will need some time to accommodate yourself in snowy road, EVEN IF you are a brilliant driver in your home country with a dry road. The most important rule is that if you don't have a confidence in driving in general or driving in totally different condition from your daily routine drive, do not drive in winter Hokkaido.

There is another way to get yourself around in Hokkaido, such as train, bus, taxi or hiring a driver. So choose other means.

Having said that all rental cars in winter Hokkaido, come with winter types of equipment below:
・Snow Tires (help you avoid slipping)
・4WD engines (get you around when front tire is stacked in the snow)

For those of you decided to drive the car in winter Hokkaido, please read the caution notes from the Hokkaido authority:

关于北海道租车，常见疑问解答帖
之第一篇：在冬天的北海道租车自驾游，安全吗？
——By NO Brainer

首先必须说的是，在冬天的北海道驾车是有一定困难和危险性的，如果你从未有过在雪地上驾驶的经验，那就需要一定的时间去适应如何在冰滑的路面上行走。 但北海道的公共交通并不像东京一样四通八达，且天气较寒冷，自驾游确实是最佳的出行方式。
那有什么办法可以最大限度的降低驾驶的难度呢？
第一步当然要从装备入手。在冬天的北海道驾驶必备的两个装备就是：四驱（4WD）和雪地胎（snow tires）。四驱动力可以帮助更好的刹车不打滑，雪地胎则是比普通轮胎多了很多细纹，在冰雪路面抓地性能优越。小编不推荐使用防滑链，因为它不仅会限制车速，还会损伤路面。
虽说配备四驱和雪地胎的车的租用费用略贵一点，还绝对物超所值，没有什么比安全驾照更重要。
不要避开高速走小路。如果是在春夏的北海道，想避开高速节省费用，走小路是可行的，但是在雪季，积雪的小路就充满了危险性，走高速和大路才是明智之选。
路口处减速慢行。降雪会导致路面积雪结冰或者泥泞，尤其在是车辆走走停停的路口处，非常容易打滑。所以在靠近十字路口时，一定要提前预踩几下刹车，这样既可以减速又可以告知后边的车辆，转弯时一定要慢行。

北國風光・北海道 （上）
夏
別看北海道夏季短暫，但是夏天的北海道可是有著不輸給其他地方的美。
北海道積丹町 積丹半島 神威岬
位於北海道西部的積丹町積丹半島三面環海，在北海道積丹半島西北部向日本海延伸出去的一部分就是神威岬。神威岬是可以看到代表性絕景的岬之一。此處因為可以眺望到澄澈清透的藍色海景，而有「積丹藍」的美譽。神威岬延伸到日本海的最遠處還有一個屹立在海中的神威岩。在初夏晴天前往的話，可以看到岬與海美妙結合的自然風光。

北海道富良野 Farm富田
花的季節是春天，但是屬於薰衣草的季節在夏日。記得小編迷上北海道的風景還是因為葛優主演的電影《非誠勿擾》。尤其對那裡面漫山的紫色薰衣草著迷，想要將薰衣草美景盡收眼底，怎麼能不去北海道呢？
道北的富良野是賞花的好去處。Farm富田也有食物角以及土特產專賣店，那裡也出售用當地名產哈密瓜製作的甜點。每年的七月下旬到八月上旬都是欣賞薰衣草的好時節。如果過了這段時間怎麼辦呢？沒關係，還有其他品種的花會相繼盛開，也是另一種樂趣呢。

北海道勇払郡佔冠村中TOMAMU　星野度假村
又一個曾在微博上火的不行不行的景點。讓人不禁感嘆的絕贊自然美景雲海，作為自然的寶物，在北海道我們也能欣賞之。在位於北海道中部的星野度假村的雲海展望台上，你能將北海道三大雲海之一的壯觀美景盡收眼底的。展望台的營業時間為每年的五月中旬到十月中旬。

[ 3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT DRIVING IN WINTER IN HOKKAIDO]

Here are some information that can come in handy when travelling by car in Hokkaido!

----

① People Traffic During Snow Festival Season
Plan your trip free from time constraints! During the Snow Festival season, immigration and departure procedures at airports maybe crowded with tourists, so plan your days of departure and arrive earlier.

② Black Ice Condition on the Road
Some roads are a little dangerous at this season due to black ice condition (snow and ice that are transparent on black road). Drivers will be extra careful on these roads and the traffic moves slowly in traffic jams.

③ Hokkaido Weather & It’s Effect to Public Facilities
There’s a chance of public traffic facilities being in a complete standstill because of closed expressways due to heavy snow, severe snowstorms, drifting snow, etc. and with aircraft delay and/or cancellation of flights and trains as well. Local streets are also crowded.

----
If you don’t have experience on driving in the snow, we don’t recommend you to drive by yourself, other than that, it’s consider easy to drive in Hokkaido.

北国风光・北海道 （上）
---北海道的美不仅仅在于冬季，四季的北海道都有值得旅行的美景---

​北海道，作为日本最北端的第二大岛，可谓是日本北国风光集中地。别看她在最北端，但是其魅力远远不只限于冬季。春夏秋冬四季都有数不尽的美好等你来找寻。

[春]

春天，当然最具日本特色的要数赏樱了。许多人说到赏樱都会去目黑川，舞鹤公园，淀川河川公园等。但有没有想过去北海道赏樱呢？北海道也是赏樱好去处呢。

① 北海道函馆 五陵郭公园
还记得前一阵子在微博上很火的星形公园的四季风景图吗？其实那里就是五陵郭公园哟！位于函馆市内的五陵郭公园可谓函馆乃至北海道必去景点之一。她是一座建于江湖时期的星形要塞城。其实五陵郭公园的四季都很美丽，如果有时间，不妨四季都去一次。对了想要看星星的形状，请到附近的五陵郭塔上欣赏。

​② 北海道日高郡新日高町的「二十間桜並木」（静内田原～静内御園）。
这里被誉为全日本第一的樱花大道。建于大正时期的二十間桜並木，全长7公里，道路两边一共种植了大约3000株樱花树。每到春天樱花时节，这里真的是美不胜收。

③ 北海道茅部郡森町 青叶之邱公园
位于北海道西南部的茅部郡森町内的青叶之邱公园也是春天不得不去的景点之一。园内的樱花树都是有着百年历史的古树，不仅如此，樱花树的品种也都是非常珍贵的，甚至有的品种在世界上仅有一颗。
北海道大空町 芝樱公园
芝樱公园的樱花不似普通的樱花树上盛开的樱花，而是犹如樱花地毯一样卷铺在整个山坡上，连城粉色的海洋。
去北海道赏樱的时节一般是5月上旬开始，因为地处北部温度较低，所以樱花满开的季节要比日本其他地方稍晚一些。

日本：平價美衣哪家強？
追求时尚，却又囊中羞涩，小编教你如何逛转日本平價商场

經常有人問我，日本的妹子都打扮那麼美，她們都從哪買衣服啊？會不會很貴啊？其實個人覺著，日本的衣服比國內便宜好多。而且小編最近回國逛街，也著實被國內商場的驚天價格嚇了一跳，足足比日本的衣服貴了好幾倍。所以今天小編就會介紹一些小編愛去的平價商場，資金不足也一樣可以很fashion。

1. LUMINE EST 新宿店
LUMINE是日本一家連鎖商場，很多車站的附近都有，但小編覺著最好逛的就要數新宿這一家了。EST裡面集合了日本各種流行趨勢，不論甜美風，BOY風還是知性風，你一定都會從中找到鍾意的衣服。價格大概200元～吧。在國內大熱的Lily Brown也在這裡有店鋪，價格比國內便宜很多喔。
2. LUMINE 2 新宿店
比起EST，LUMINE 2 的價格要略貴一些，但是衣服的質量和設計感也隨之變高。同樣，小編覺著最好逛的還是新宿這家店。想要在工作時，穿的穩重卻又時尚，成熟中還不失甜美，那你一定要來逛逛～ 在天朝被賣成「天價」的Snidle和Samantha就在這喔，比國內便宜不是一點點。

3. PARCO 吉祥寺店
PARCO也是一家連鎖商場，但是小編推薦吉祥寺這家店，佈局簡單好逛，又有很多平價又可愛的店。每次來這，小編都是滿載而歸。吉祥寺連續好幾年被評為東京人最想住的地方，是個非常有情調的地方喔。來旅遊時不妨來逛逛。

4. Myload 新宿店
Myload座落在新宿，LUMINE和小田急百貨之間。這是一個不大，卻總給你到驚喜的商場。

5. 高原寺：復古chic的天下
高原寺離新宿並不遠，從新宿坐JR中央線只需要十分鐘，這裡是日本古著愛好者的天堂。雖然沒有下北澤和原宿有名氣，但正因為此，這裡的價格更公道，「寶貝」也更多。如果你也喜歡古著，如果你也是grandma chic，如果你也喜歡淘寶，那就別錯過這。

Owl Cafe 猫头鹰咖啡！哎呦,不错喔！https://nobrainer.jp/zh
猫咖啡算什么，酷炫狂霸拽的猫头鹰咖啡不来一发吗？Doge～

东京永远有着说不完的故事，正如她的市井街角总有你会惊喜的新奇小店。
从神保町的小清新书店到自由之丘的美味甜品店再到神乐町的江户风情日料店，仅在东京23区，你就可以饱览各种特色小店。没有你想不到的，只有你找不到的。
对于喜欢小动物的盆宇们来说，一整天忙碌的工作之余，在身体被掏空只能葛优躺了之后，如果有一只甚至许多只萌萌的小动物包围身边，那是多么的美好，瞬间有被治愈的赶脚有没有！

可是，猫咖啡太多有点无趣了、害怕猫猫的我怎么办、想要发现更有趣的动物咖啡店…… 发出这些声音的亲们，还在烦恼去什么动物咖啡店吗？不要紧，咱们还有可爱的猫头鹰咖啡带给你。

什么？猫头鹰咖啡店？那个酷炫狂霸拽的鸟类竟然甘愿服务人类？！
其实，小编我也是很疑问的，但是既然有，我们就带着疑问去一探究竟也好。
这次我们来到的是位于秋叶原的Akiba Hukurou猫头鹰咖啡店。
这是一家全预约制的猫头鹰咖啡店，秉承着 "与猫头鹰接触的同时，让自己的人生更加丰富多彩 "的理念，努力创造人和猫头鹰自然相处的美好环境。
那么到底人和猫头鹰共处是怎样的一个景象呢？

本以为是猫头鹰像狗狗一样赖在人类怀里的场景， 然而现实总是残酷的。酷炫狂霸拽就是酷炫狂霸拽，猫头鹰们只会用它们天生的王者高冷风范迎接你的到来，真的很适合抖M前去体验下服侍女王的感觉。当然，无论你是谁，当进入店的一瞬间，就已臣服了也说不定呢。

体型各异，大小多样的猫头鹰真的就像人一样有着自己的个性和喜好。如果被宠幸了，真是可喜可贺呢。因为小编我怎么讨好都只能被白眼的份啊 合照各种被嫌弃。。（下附高清大图）

不过小编我还是被神奇的治愈了，也走上了一条奇怪的不归路（不要问我是什么路）。。

紅葉這麼美，我想去看看

日本賞紅葉最佳地點5選

① 東京都：奧多摩 冰川溪谷（11月中旬－11月下旬）
小編心中的東京賞紅葉地點No.1
坐JR青梅線到奧多摩車站，下車便是，交通便利。有山有水有紅葉，是個可以讓人身心放鬆的好地方。

② 東京都：高尾山（11月中旬－11月下旬）
東京的觀賞地點大多交通便利。
只需乘坐京王高尾線，高尾山口車站下車，徒步5分鐘即可。
乘著觀覽車，從高處俯瞰滿山紅葉，心情也會豁然開朗。山腳下的Trick美術館也是小編的最愛，不可思議的迷宮一般的美術館，你一定會喜歡。

③ 栃木:　日光（10月下旬）
日光的賞紅葉季節比東京要早一點，十月後旬為最佳。
日本的國寶－－東照宮就坐落在此。紅葉映襯下的東照宮，別有一番滋味。

④ 北海道：定山溪豐平峽大壩（10月上旬－10月中旬）
位於日本最北端的北海道，是能最先欣賞到紅葉的地方。
其中，小編最推薦的就是定山溪豐平峽大壩。附近還有溫泉和農場。邊欣賞紅葉邊享受溫泉，之後還可以體驗摘水果，騎馬等農家活動。非常適合親子游，家庭游喔。

⑤ 京都金閣寺（11月中旬－12月上旬）
​眾所周知的金閣寺，其實也是國家指定的賞紅葉名所。
因為京都氣候溫暖，所以賞紅葉的季節相對很長。

[ 3 PLACES YOU MUST VISIT IN HOKKAIDO, vol.2 ]

Hokkaido is NOT only for the winter, BUT for the autumn too!It’s almost the end of year, the temperature is getting colder, the leafs are changing its colors. Why don’t you try to spend autumn in a different atmosphere? We picked three places in which you can enjoy autumn in Hokkaido.

① NAKAJIMA PARK
From the Shobu-ike pond, Concert Hall Kitara and Sapporo City Astronomical Observatory the park offers a lot to see. You can view seasonal constellations as well as other planets and the moon. Spend relaxing and peaceful day in the park and end it with the beauty of the constellations.
http://www.sapporo-park.or.jp/nakajima/lang/english.html

② HOKKAIDO MUSEUM
Going to museum is a nice way to spend time in autumn. The museum consist of natural environment, history and culture of Hokkaido. Meet the Naumann elephants that came from Honshu and the mammoths from the continent through Sakhalin in their full skeleton reconstructions form.
http://www.hm.pref.hokkaido.lg.jp/en/

③ JOZANKEI ONSEN
As the best season is approaching what about visiting the most popular hot spring districts in Hokkaido? The hot springs contain sodium chloride such that when you soak in it you find your body warming form the inside. Rejuvenate your health and beauty by soaking into the refreshing hot spring.
