Hokkaido Mirai Notebook" is a collection of Hokkaido's scenery that you would like to leave for the future.
Here are three of the best photos of Hokkaido's beautiful scenery taken and submitted by our readers!

March of the whooper swans in Naganuma Town

I was able to photograph the whooper swans marching from field to field by accident.

A word from the Domingo editorial team
This is a very cute picture of a line of birds crossing the road!
Whooper swans, which normally spend their winter in the coniferous forests of Eurasia, migrate about 3,000 kilometers to this area for wintering. This migratory bird, which can be seen only from around November to March, gives us a sense of the grandeur of the world.

Banei Racing in Obihiro City

You can only see BANDAI horses here in the world.
I hope many people can see these powerful horses, which are different from thoroughbreds.

A word from Domingo editorial staff
The "Banei Races," in which horses pull sleds and compete for speed and strength, were captured in a heated moment.
This photo captures one of the heated moments of the race!
Banshorses are characterized by their large bodies, thick necks and legs, and muscular strength. They weigh about twice as much as thoroughbreds!
I would like to experience the power of the Banei race once!

I think the mother moth below is saying, "My baby is so cute!

A word from Domingo's editorial department
This is a very soothing picture of two monkeys looking out through a hole in a tree with big eyes at the same time!
It is said that Ezo flying squirrels do not hibernate, but huddle together in these holes to pass the winter without being active.
I wish I could spend all winter admiring their cute appearance, which is only possible at this time of year, as they have eaten a lot to plump up for overwintering..!
