  • Here's my look at the streets and neighborhoods of Hakodate, Japan in winter. One dark evening, and then the next day, I walked the icy sidewalks, then rode trams, to see what Hokkaido's third-biggest city is like in the middle of winter. Answer: cold but vibrant. And there's a phenomenally great way to stay warm built right into one of the street corners. Bliss.
    🚠 NOTE: I keep saying "cable car" in this video; it should be "ropeway". Oops.

    great stuff Jeremy. I have been watching the Hakodate harbor-area webcam for years. Seems to snowing there 75% of the time in winter. Its first on my list to visit when i get to Hokkaido. Seafood and footbaths...2 of my favs.

    It is probably damp there and the cold gets inside you. Stay warm.

      @T1DWanderer don't slip on that ice.
      As we use to say in the Air force ,when you fell on the ice " you got bitten from the snow snake ". LOL.

    My guess about the pen and pad would have been it's for the Chinese Tourist as Chinese Characters are still in use for place names, but then the advise was only in English and Japanese???

    • @T1DWanderer
      @T1DWanderer  2 місяці тому

      It may be that written English is often easier for Japanese people than spoken English. They aren't taught native, natural English pronunciation in school, so listening can be nearly impossible. But students do a lot of reading and writing

  • @giko8888

    Jeremy-san, I strongly recommend to insert Japanese subtitles. As you know mostly Japanese people doesn't speak English. And many Japanese train geeks are interested in overseas transportation.
