Hokkaido in 172 colors   

Oh, how I love Hokkaido! And one of the reasons is the change in seasons. I always said I could never live somewhere where there are no seasons. I am always happy to see the little signs that indicate a change in season. I love the winter for its snow and I don't want to stop snowboarding. But when I see the first flowers popping out of the snow, I feel happy. Soon you can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. No need for a jacket anymore. The festival season starts and is over way to soon. The winds pick up and leaves change their colors.

In Germany, we have this changes, too. But I feel it's more appreciated here in Japan. People get their cameras out and meet for a picnic under the cherry blossoms or autumn leaves. I wanted to have some Kōyō too. So I went to Jozankei Onsen with my camera. I was stunned! So many different colors! Everything was red and yellow and brown and orange. More than that: flamingo, crimson, canary, buff.... Yes, these are all colors! Did you know that there are 172 different colors in a standard dictionary? Maybe that's just enough to describe the blaze of color in Jozankei.....
