From "Hokkaido Mirai Note," a collection of wonderful Hokkaido scenes captured and submitted by you, we present three specially selected photos this time! Please enjoy these views of Hokkaido that we want to preserve for the future.
Upside-Down Ezo Red Squirrel (Chitose City)
This little Ezo red squirrel is busy making a fluffy bed.
Its artisan skill of peeling bark and rolling it up is always applause-worthy, but on this day, it showed off its technique while hanging upside down!

What a skillful little squirrel. It's so adorable watching it work diligently while hanging upside down!
In the coming season, we might be able to see Ezo red squirrels shedding their winter coats for summer fur.

Drift ice is a sight you can only see on the eastern side of Hokkaido, along the Sea of Okhotsk. ❄
The view from this bus stop makes you want to keep watching forever, even in the cold of winter. 👀
Fox of Shiretoko (Rausu Town)
An Ezo red fox surviving resiliently in the World Heritage site of Shiretoko!
I'm moved by its strength in overcoming the harsh winter.

Around this time of year, you might even see fox cubs making an appearance. No matter how cute they are, please remember not to touch them.
