Been to Japan many times, but there's this one place I always want to visit. Which is Hokkaido. I stayed at its main city, Sapporo for a few nights to experience winter wonderland, however it's too freezing for a tropical creature like me lol

I bundled up so many layers and it was still COLD..  I have never experienced winter that harsh but everywhere I walked into, thick white snow welcomed me and it's so beautiful on the picture. Yes, only on the picture.... lol

Because if youre there, just imagine wearing like 5 thick layers of clothes and still cold, whenever you want to take out your phone to reply message, you have to remove your gloves and it's f*ckin freezing, like you hold an ice cube

Then it's super stuffed, you can hardly feel your body, and esp you look fatter because of all the layers lol

And when you get inside a mall or subway with heater, you feel hot and remove your hot pack from your body but later on you'll need it again. fml lol

I came in January and the weather is around 5 celcius during the day, and can reach up to -5 at night

The snow was heavy and thick, around 30-70cms.. And snow rain and heavy storm were common during that time. However I heard snow in Hokkaido is better than the rest because it doesn't make your clothes wet due to its powdery type

Which is true. I had snow moment in Kyoto and because the temperature wasn't that cold *perhaps*, it becomes water when it drops into my clothes, making my clothes and hair wet. But in Sapporo, I can just shrug it off and it's all set

We took a lot of taxi in Sapporo because we could hardly walk there. And with storm, we basically couldnt see anything LOLOL

However it's a good experience and ALL THE FOODS ARE SOOOOO HEAVENLY AMAZING

I really want to come back again, but maybe summer, when the weather isn't as harsh as this one lol
