Hokkaidô is the northernmost of Japan's four main islands. Home to Japan's aboriginal Ainu race, Hokkaido continues to represent the untamed wilderness with many great national parks. For many visitors the scenery resembles northern Europe, with rice paddies and concrete warrens replaced by rolling fields and faux-German cottages.
Hokkaidô (North Sea Circuit), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is Japan's second largest island and the largest of its 47 prefectural-level subdivisions. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaidô from Honshû, although the two islands are connected by the underwater Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaidô is its capital, Sapporo.

Lake Shikotsu is a lake in Chitose, Hokkaidô, Japan. It is a part of the Shikotsu-Toya National Park. Lake Shikotsu is located in the south-west part of Hokkaidô. It has an average depth of 265 metres and a maximum depth of 363 metres, making it the second deepest lake in Japan, after Lake Tazawa.
The Seikan Tunnel is a 53.85 km (33.49 mile) railway tunnel in Japan, with a 23.3 km (14.5 mile) portion under the seabed. It travels beneath the Tsugaru Strait — connecting Aomori Prefecture on the Japanese island of Honshû and the island of Hokkaidô — as part of the Japan Railways Kaikyo Line. Although it is the longest railway tunnel in the world, faster and cheaper air travel has left the Seikan Tunnel comparatively underused.
