  Edutraveller :: Places :: Hokkaido   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Hokkaido is the farthest north of the four main islands that make up Japan and a popular destination for Japanese tourists as well as foreigners.
Hokkaido is the coldest part of Japan, and sees the most snow of any part of Japan (between four and six metres a year, more than almost any urban area in the world).
Hokkaido is big and it can take a lot of time to get around it all, so if you are on a tight schedule you will have to prioritise what you want to see.

 I-Hokkaido
Hokkaido is the second largest of the Japanese islands, situated in the north of the country.
Actually you can also travel to Hokkaido by using car-ferry services (we originally planned to spend much longer time in Hokkaido in summer and wanted to go by a car-ferry, so that we could also see a bit of the north part of Honshu, Japan’s main island, although we had to abandon this plan eventually).
The climate is also very similar to those areas, with a very cold and snowy winter (actually, Hokkaido is very popular with Japanese skiers for its perfect powder snow) and a relatively cool summer, different from the hot and humid summers in the rest of Japan.

 Abashiri - World Travel Guide
Abashiri (網走) is a small city on the northern coast of Hokkaido, Japan.
Once unimaginably far in the back of beyond, the name Abashiri used to strike terror into the hearts of suspected lawbreakers: it was the site of Japan's first maximum-security prison, built in 1890 when the enlightened Meiji era decided to copy Western ways instead of simply executing convicted criminals.
The nearest airport is Memanbetsu, 16 km south of Abashiri.

Both menacing and seductive, Kenna's Ratcliffe photographs create the impression of an atmospherically foggy day, registering the homeostasis of a mood that is a dominant characteristic of his work.
Concurrent with the presentation of "Ratcliffe Power Station" will be the most recent installment of Kenna's "Japan" series featuring landscape imagery from the island of Hokkaido in winter revealing among other subjects the calligraphic presence of modest remnants of man-made, utilitarian objects in nature, such as fishing posts and greenhouse structures.
For the past four years, Kenna has traveled extensively throughout Japan photographing the rural and coastal landscape in his signature style and in the spare and elegant sensibility of traditional Japanese painting.
