#9 北海度（ほっかいど）

こんにちは！与那嶺です。

I chose the ほっかいど prefecture because part of my family comes from there and I would like to know more about it. にほんでりょこうをしましたが、ほっかいどにりょこうしませんでした。ほっかいど is the northernmost prefecture and the second largest Japanese island. It is popular for its beautiful nature, おんせん, おいしいたべもの, and the パウダースノー in ゆき。

Personally, I’d like to visit Hokkaido in the spring, so that I could get the most of nature’s experience and freshness. 🌸さくら🌸はとてもきれいですね。さくらがすきです。それから、I would look forward to have a more countryside Japanese experience and escape from the にぎやかなまち, like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.

ほっかいどにかぞくであいます。Hopefully, I would also be able to meet and connect with the part of my family that still lives in Japan.

Well, that’s it for this week!

Thanks a lot for reading and see you next time!

じゃあ、また！
