冬日北海道日本最有活力的風(fēng)物詩

冬天的北海道鋪上一層棉花糖似的白雪，有著“樸素而莫能與之爭美”的意境，札幌的雪祭、函館的夜景、小樽的浪漫運河，獨特的美食與溫泉，這些美好的體驗，只有到了北海道才能更加深刻地領(lǐng)悟到其中的精髓。選擇乘坐JR列車旅行是游覽北海道最理想的方式，隨著列車的前進，窗外的美景如動畫般浮動，列車內(nèi)琳瑯滿目的美味便當(dāng)、貼心的服務(wù)以及車站建筑的藝術(shù)等都是愛上鐵道旅行的理由。

Covered by a layer of snow-like cotton candy， the winter Hokkaido has an artistic conception of “simple and incomparable beauty”. Sapporo Snow Festival， Hakodates night scene， Otarus romantic canal， special food and hot springs， you can have a more profound understanding to the essence of them only when you are in Hokkaido. The most ideal way to visit Hokkaido is to take JR train， as you can enjoy the beautiful scenery like animation outside the window with the advance of the train. The various bentos on the train， the considerate services and the arts of railway station are all the reason to love train travel.
