日本北海道风光

北海道，属日本列岛中纬度最高的岛屿，与隔着津轻海峡的本州遥遥相望，它不同於日本其他地区的是，它没有精巧细致的风味，有着的是独树一格的 大自然景色与历史背景，实为日本列岛中之特殊岛屿。

由大雪山火山群为主干的北海道，西侧是天盐、夕张山地，东侧则是北见、日高山脉相连。而道东的阿寒和知床火山群及道南渡岛半岛也是火山群。北 海道就因为早期火山活动与造山运动的活络，创造出现在各处绝美景观与泉质丰富多变的温泉，这也是北海道最吸引人的魅力所在，也是现今游览景色 重点之一。

Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan's four main islands, has a landscape strikingly different from that of any other place in Japan. With more than 77,700 sq. km (30,000 sq. miles) and accounting for 22% of Japan's total landmass, it has only 5% of its population. In other words, Hokkaido has what the rest of Japan doesn't -- space. The least developed of Japan's four islands, it's your best bet for avoiding the crowds that plague Japan's more well-known playgrounds during peak travel season.
