Episode synopsis

Our reporter James Pritty, who lives in Sapporo, recommends interesting places to visit along the way from New Chitose Airport via Sapporo to Otaru. He witnesses wild salmon spawning, visits a facility where you can experience winter sports year round, and savors the fresh seafood of Hokkaido. And a viewer sent us a video and photos from his trip to Izu in Shizuoka Pref. He talks about Pacific saury, a fall delicacy, and the free guide who showed him around Ito at the tip of the Izu Peninsula.
