Month: April 2019

We headed into one of the wildest areas of Japans Northern Island, Shiretoko. This “end of the world” peninsula is covered by a blanket of snow, surrounded by Siberian drift ice and is among the highest bear density places in the world.

Hokkaido, the most Northern island of the Japanese archipelago, sounded like adventure and real winter to us. From some parts of Hokkaido you are almost able to touch Russia and the nature and wildlife here is much more connected to Siberia. The ice cold wind brings a lot of snow for almost 6 months in the year.
