Take a visual journey to Japan's vast northern island of Hokkaido.

This stunning guide covering all the places foreign and Japanese tourists alike find so fascinating here - spectacular volcanic landscapes, the world's best powder skiing, and some of Japan's most incredible food.

Author Aaron Jamieson is a professional photographer, film-maker, and journalist who has lived on Hokkaido for more than a decade - devoting his time to seeking out the hidden wonders of this very special island.

In this book, he provides personal recommendations for places to explore in and around the main cities of Sapporo, Otaru, Hakodate, and Asahikawa, then leads you on a tour of the wild and lesser-known places around the island, including:

The resort areas around Lake Toya and Niseko, now famous as 'the Aspen of Asia'. Remote offshore islands and scenic byways along the western and northern coasts. The vast hinterland with its rainbow fields of lavender and tulips and towering volcanic peaks. The rugged eastern region - home to the aboriginal Ainu people and their traditional culture. Hokkaido's stunning national parks, with their hot springs, waterfalls, and distinctive wildlife

This unique book - the first of its kind - allows you to view Hokkaido through the eyes of a local and to explore one of the last undiscovered regions of Japan.
