Butterbur sprouts (Ranchoetsu Town), a wild plant that signals the end of winter, and others [Hokkaido Mirainote (85)
Butterbur sprouts bringing spring (Rangetsu Town)
In mid-March, as the weather warmed up, I went out to look for spring.
I found a butterbur sprout just about to open beside a field in Rangetsu, where the snow had thawed.
It is exciting to see the fields and mountains in spring.

A word from the Domingo editorial team
One of the wild vegetables that brings spring to Hokkaido, both visually and in terms of taste!
When the snow begins to melt and the weather gets warmer, you can often see them in gardens and along roadsides 👀.
When you find them in the lingering snow, you know that spring is just around the corner 🌸.
A fox walking on the snow (Biei Town)
This is a fox we met in the hills of Biei in late winter.
We saw foxes here and there as spring approached and they became more active.
Perhaps because it was dusk, I felt a sense of melancholy on their backs.

A word from the Domingo editorial team
This scene was taken in March in Biei-cho, where the scenery is still in winter.
The back view of the foxes looks tough after the long winter in Hokkaido!
But don't touch them, just watch them, because wild foxes have a parasitic disease called echinococcus 🔍.
Heart-lit night view (Otaru City)
The night view of Mt. Tengu is said to be one of the three best night views in Hokkaido,
Tengu is said to be one of the three most beautiful nightscapes in Hokkaido,
The fantastic atmosphere makes the night view even more beautiful than usual.
