We've been wondering the whole time where all the bike travelers are, and now we have our answer: on Hokkaido! Since leaving Hakodate to continue north we've met a steady stream of cyclists on the coast, waving happily at us and sometimes even stopping for a chat. Apparently we had great luck with the weather, since the previous week it's rained a lot even on Hokkaido but we've managed to avoid it (except some light drizzle in Hakodate).
Christoffer has come to the conclusion that Hokkaido is the Lapland of Japan: a scenic quiet(ish) area in the north where people go to enjoy outdoor activities - and to get covered in mosquito bites…
