Rowan and I spent about 10 days in Hokkaido in 2012 ... beautiful! And where we were, the roads and cycling paths were lovely.
We landed in Chitose, then cycled to Lake Shikotsu and spent a little bit of time there. Then we cycled down to Tomakomai and spent a bit of time there ... then returned to Lake Shikotsu ... and back to Chitose.
The photos start on this page, I think ... the ones with JP at the beginning of the title
(we had been to Hong Kong (HK) first, then Taiwan (TW) ... then Hokkaido)

Oh, and the area did remind me very much of BC.
