When....

...most people think of Japan,
it's cities and crowds, on which they plan,
but up on Hokkaido, that northern Isle,
there's much open county, and snow in a pile.

Where flowers are crops,
and mountains have snow covered tops,
there are National Parks, with mountains and lakes,
try to see 'this' Japan, you'll love photo takes.


Flowers are a huge market crop in Japan



Autumn in one National Park.



Lake in Shiretoko National Park - may be the same as above.
