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, Japans 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.
