Hello, Yuyu. I'm glad to encounter your video. I'm from Hokkaido and now teach Japanese at university in California. Taking advantage of my position, I continue to introduce the prefecture in my classes, and I will use your video (You have good points!!) to show to my students.

[@willemorange8291]

Great video. Almost all of the 50 things to do seem genuinely interesting. Good job on making me want to visit Hokkaido.

[@xaviermccloud4586]

I was going to talk shit but after I skipped through the first 5 things I agree.

[@raysarchet8463]

I lived a couple of years on Hokkaido. I was 19 and 20. Otaru was my favorite place. Thank you Japan!

[@catherinezilber7677]

Going to Hokkaido in a few days. After sorting through the reading, the VDO nicely sums it all up for us. We did not plan to visit the Otaru Aquarium, but it's now on the list. Overall, excellent VDO- short, well shot, and informative. Thank you.

[@mindyreynolds2923]

Great video! Well put together. I love Odori park in July because of the beer gardens...lol Keep up the great videos!

[@TokiYuYu]

I was surprised how pretty Hokkaido is when we went because all I hear is winter in Hokkaido! It's worth going to in all seasons! And since there's Sapporo beer there, it's a good place for drinking all year long lol

[@dchevron77]

Hi! Thank you so much for this guide. I'm planning a trip to the Hokkaido area and this really helps with planning.

北海道に来てくれてありがとうございました！

[@eastcoastafterhours9738]

great video and format

[@mirela13]

Amazing!

[@BlindSightPhoto]

YuYu, you just planned my next trip to Japan for me lol. Hokkaido is one of places on my list to visit that I haven't gotten a chance to on my trips there. That's a lot of things to do in 3 days, but looks like you had a great time. I would totally go to town at Ramen Dojo. As for format, i like both. I think having a combination of both formats gives a nice overview plus a slice of life.

[@TokiYuYu]

Chitose airport is awesome, you can spend a couple days there just eating all the foods lol! Hokkaido was surprisingly fun, and I quite liked doing this type of video, made me feel organized!

[@Willpower1997]

Great video!

[@ramata1962]

You are so sweet. I think you are so full of information and make me want to go to Japan. Please tell us more about your work.

[@TokiYuYu]

I'm planning on addressing many "about me" type questions like this in a future Q&A! Stay tuned!

[@MayOngSelangor]

Will be visiting Hokkaido in May 2018 soon for cherry blossom. Great tips!

[@TokiYuYu]

Lucky you! I miss Hokkaido!

[@Babababababe]

Great video! I want to visit Hokkaido someday soon.

[@TokiYuYu]

Thanks! Definitely go to Hokkaido, it's seriously food and animal heaven!

[@411Soulman1]

The dizurts! (OK I kant späl)... ...YUHHHHHHHHMMMMMM

[@888katiechau]

I like this format more because it has a order to it compare to regular vlogging.

[@TokiYuYu]

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree this type is more organized and hopefully it's more helpful! I'll maybe make a video like this for Tokyo too!

[@elainet6450]

I like this format but the blog is also ok. Love your videos

[@TokiYuYu]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@evelyntan233]

Amazing!!! 立刻收藏好！计划去日本的时候再翻出来看一遍！

[@TokiYuYu]

北海道简直就是吃货的天堂！和像我这种爱动物的人的天堂

[@evelyntan233]

TokiYuYu 这个描述貌似也是我的天堂哈哈哈哈哈哈

[@Ana-dg5ep]

I agree, really amazing! I first heard and saw Hokkaido, the beautiful crystal blue sea in Shakotan by Captain Aty - he’s a little Asian claw video living in Japan. Captain Aty is the greatest adventurer and has already shown me and thousands of other people from all over the world half of Japan.😄 The best little “Ambassador” as we call him, is even an honorary member of Sagamihara City for tourism.😍

[@Piquetures]

Your little intro animation is literally SO CUTE! Do you speak all those languages?! And my mom told me so many cool things about Hokkaido! I have to go back to Japan to visit! Where did you travel from, if you don't mind my asking? The desserts in Japan are out of this world! You guys did an insane amount of things in just 3 days! Ugh I'm so hungry now after looking at your food shots! The canal is gorgeous! I remember a similar one in Kyoto that was also very beautiful! I was so mad we missed the cherry blossoms last year! Ahhh Alpacas!!! And I didn't know they raced sheeps haha. DORAEMON! That was my childhood hahha. Thanks for sharing!! When's your next adventure?!

[@TokiYuYu]

Aww thanks so much for your comment!! Yes I speak a few languages fluently and I'm still working on my Japanese! I traveled from Tokyo to Hokkaido since it was golden week and I wanted to take advantage of the days off without going too far away. We are definitely intense travelers, I always try to squeeze in as much as possible! Hokkaido much exceeded my expectations, I just gotta go back in the winter haha! Doraemon was my childhood too so I had to check it out when I found out there's an area for Doraemon at Chitose airport. Planning to go to Osaka in June maybe, I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and I wanna check out USJ so badly! I also wanna make more videos about fun things in Tokyo since I do live here and it's travel season. So stay tuned for more adventures! ヾ（〃＾∇＾）ﾉ♪

[@connielicious8887]

Oh wow 😍 i've been to kyoto, and i wish to go in hokkaido too this year 😍🙏🏻🤗

[@lanakias1]

Your videos are so helpful and great.. For sure you deserve my subcription more than anything on youtube.. I hope to continue the good work Yuyu San!

[@agirlcanmack]

Great video as usual ;)

[@TokiYuYu]

[@Ichinomiya316]

muchas gracias

[@Mooseydog]

YuYu incredible video. I just discovered it on a whim after I had a conversation with a friend who is especially fond of Japanese Single Malt Whisky. According to him, as long as I understood him correctly, that Hokkaido has become a haven for many of Japan’s whisky distilleries. Are there many of them there that you know of? maybe another video perhaps?😉

[@msolivia186]

thankyou for your recommendation dear

[@gigipanduh]

hey girl. i love your channel. i likr yout editing style and your content.

[@Saufii]

This video very useful. I'm going to Hokkaido this coming February 2018 for winter experience.

[@TokiYuYu]

Hokkaido must be so beautiful in winter!

[@kathyxiongchannel138]

so beautiful

[@Flymetopolaris]

Good job!!!!

[@JapanHiroshima]

[@user-sm5rk3sw8t]

[@crawfordwilson970]

thanks for all the good ideas baby

[@kaskahea1274]

Will you be able to do your favorite vending machines? 💜 Your videos!

[@jimofey]

Go to Sekai! The Shōgun says your welcome !

[@doristsui5257]

Hello Yuyu, love your video! May I know which airport that have the Doraemon Park?

[@jdrdesign]

Very enthusiastic -.-; lol

[@ferryanolin6707]

Hi. Will go there in November.

[@ThomasTracey]

We want to visit Hokkaido too!! But it's more expensive to go there than to go to Korea... lol :(

[@TokiYuYu]

Watch out for deals on flights, I heard it can be as low as $50 one way! And just avoid golden week, hotels costed double of the usual price...

[@junebrown8207]

I really like this video and I wish you would do more like this. I would like longer videos on Japan as I love this country and would like to know more about it. I do like your other videos but they are a bit too short for me.

[@TokiYuYu]

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[@neelukampani6548]

​@@TokiYuYu Tokiyuyu l will be travelling to Hokkaido in July....Hope it will be fine. Please make the video on Tokyo , so we can explore there, too. Also, please please let me know where you buy your sweet small necklaces from, i really want to buy those when l visit Tokyo in July. Many Thanks.

[@simplerecipe2904]

hi. The video image is superb. May I know are you using which type of camera

[@hotjurnal4585]

Mantap bangat sis....🌷🌷❤👍👍 Salam Sehat 🙏🇯🇵🇮🇩

[@tiffanykurniawan6488]

Love your video, very informative. Could you please tell me how did you travel in Hokkaido, is it by car? Especially when you went to the farm? Thank you

[@TokiYuYu]

We only used public transportation. That farm area had a shuttle from the nearest train station so it was very convenient. You just have to know the schedule beforehand to plan ahead

[@irememberla6460]

Wow didn't know Hokkaido had penguins!

[@TokiYuYu]

Osaka aquarium had penguins too!!!

[@abdullakc]

You are so beautiful! Chinese girl. I will visit hokkaido and I'll visit the places you did ❤. Great job girl I subscribed to you

[@PamelaProPeace]

Could you please think about going further north in the winter and show us what there is to do up there (and how to get around without a car)? Thanks.

[@TokiYuYu]

I do wanna check out Hokkaido in the winter time, I hope I'll have a chance!

[@PamelaProPeace]

Will look forward to it. I have already put Sapporo on my to-do list thanks to this great video :)

[@MF-CLIMB]

Great video. We are planning on 4 days for Hokkaido/Sapporo is this enough?

[@TokiYuYu]

Do you mean Hokkaido in general or only Sapporo? We spent 2 days in Sapporo and 1 day in Otaru and did all the things I showed in the video! So if you aren't planning on visiting more places, 4 days will be plenty
