Finally
What did you think. Recently, due to the inbound effect, tourists from overseas have become more prominent in the Kanto metropolitan area. Therefore, in the summer of 2019, I think it is better to relax in Hokkaido, which is cooler than in Kanto. Hokkaido's tourist spots have abundant accommodations and hot spring facilities, so it is a good place to heal your daily fatigue. Of course, not only healing but also various activities will stimulate you. If it's a river Rafting It is also attractive to have many activities such as hot-air balloon flight in the sky and snorkeling in the sea. This summer, please go on a healing and stimulating trip in Hokkaido ♪
