We would like to introduce three selected photos from the "Hokkaido Mirai Notebook," a collection of wonderful views of Hokkaido photographed and submitted by you! Please enjoy the views of Hokkaido that you would like to leave for the future.

Ice Bubble on Lake Akan (Kushiro City)

Ice bubble at Lake Akan.
You can see it only for a short period of time until snow piles up on the surface of the frozen lake.
I want to go back next year to see it again.

City, Town and Village where the photo was taken: Kushiro City

A word from Domingo editorial staff
This is a cosmic phenomenon that occurs in lakes in winter! It is formed when air bubbles generated at the bottom of the lake are trapped in the frozen lake surface.
When it snows, the bubbles are buried and cannot be seen, so this phenomenon can only be seen during a limited period in winter!
Keep this in mind for next year 💡.

White illumination and streetcars (Sapporo City)

White illumination of the zelkova trees that stretch from the Susukino intersection to Sapporo Station.
The collaboration with the tram is so beautiful, and when you see it, you feel that the winter of Sapporo has started.

A word from the Domingo editorial team
Sapporo White Illumination" is a winter event held in the center of Sapporo.
Various illuminations fantastically illuminate the night of Sapporo🌌.
It is beautiful not only to see the collaboration with the streetcars, but also to watch the cityscape flowing from inside the streetcars! Sapporo White Illumination will be held until today at some venues✨.

Sunset and Ezo Deer (Betsukai Town)

Ezo-shika deer walking in the icy and extremely cold Notsuke Bay.
Another big sunset today!

A word from Domingo's editorial department
Notsuke Bay is a resting place for migratory birds, seals and other animals.
In February this year, Notsuke Bay became the site of Japan's first "Ice Marathon" (🏃).
This is a picture of Betsukai, a town blessed with nature that is uniquely Hokkaido 📷.
