HOKKAIDO, THE JAPAN OF THE FAR NORTH

Sublime escapes

An episode from the series FLAVORS

Synopsis

At the northernmost edge of the Japanese archipelago, Hokkaido is a land of ice and silence. Here, the cold shapes both bodies and customs: ice fishing, winter sports, steaming ramen in Sapporo...

The last land colonized by Japan, the island is also home to the Ainu, an indigenous people who perpetuate an animist culture in harmony with the wild and sovereign nature that surrounds them.
