Journeys in Japan

Season 7 Episode 23: Hokkaido: Summer Gardens Under the Northern Sky

Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island, turns into a paradise of flowers in spring and summer. After the harsh winter, plant life erupts in all its brilliant glory. It's a wonderful place to discover gardens. The 250-kilometer highway from Asahikawa to Obihiro passes close to eight notable gardens. That is why it has come to be called the "Hokkaido Garden Path". Each garden has its own individual character, setting, and vegetation. Anthony Wood is a photographer from the United States who has lived in Japan for 10 years. On this edition of Journeys in Japan, Anthony embarks on a road trip through the far north of Japan, in search of beauty.
