Sapporo Area

Here we will discuss the sense of distance in the Hokkaido region. The starting point will be Sapporo City (Sapporo Station).

It is the largest city in this region. One of Hokkaido’s biggest features is its size. For those who come from overseas, it may not have too much of an impact, but Hokkaido has a very different sense of distance from other areas in Japan. In fact, all prefectures in Shikoku and Kyushu areas can fall easily within Hokkaido. For that reason, road and rail networks are not as detailed as in other regions.

So, if you’re thinking about traveling in the Hokkaido region, you should first consider using air travel, that is, to the nearest airport in your destination. This is pretty important. Of course, it is also nice to go leisurely by bus or by train, so the choice is up to you.
