hokkaido

Considering leaving Hokkaido by air if a Hokkaido and Sanriku Subsequent Earthquake Advisory is issued, don't really want to be in a potential megaquake.

Japan has ~200 miles of the coast of Hokkaido bordering the Sea of Okhotsk.

I'm an American who bought a house in Hokkaido and have been living there for 18 months.

Osaka and Hokkaido are significantly more laid back about it than the Tokyo area, for example, but they still have relatively flat obesity rates.

I was lucky enough to teach English in Hokkaido [2], which is where Ghibli animators drew inspiration for Princess Mononoke.

I remember reading about the longest tunnel in Japan between Honshu and Hokkaido (Seikan Tunnel).

I found that feeling odd since I spent years studying Japanese and ultimately wound up teaching English in Hokkaido for a year.

Let me introduce you to the Seikan Tunnel [1] between the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido in Japan, 53.85km with 23.3km of that under the sea.

And why Hokkaido is the wealthiest part of Japan.

I am wondering why Hokkaido instead of other places in Japan.

A high tech chip industry in Hokkaido, in particular if Taiwan is merged with PRC might be exactly the thing for Hokkaido to boom - in particular since it is less prone to natural disasters and climate change may be warming things up.

Russia invading Hokkaido would be suicide, the US nuked Japan rather than try invading the homeland to end WW2 and we controlled every island surrounding Japan at the time.

The most the PRC could do is potentially sabotage production in Hokkaido, but if they can sabotage production in Hokkaido, they can sabotage it in Arizona.

Like in Hokkaido, where Sapporo has a nice transit system but outside that is a vast expanse of roads.

GB is an island and has nothing to do with the UK, it’s as if you’d call Japan now Hokkaido, it makes no sense.
