[Important Note: Seasonal and Light Differences]

The length of daylight in Hokkaido during winter varies significantly by month. From late November to December, sunsets are earlier, and attractions may present a dimmer, more shadowy effect in the evening. From January onwards, the days gradually lengthen, and the scenery is mostly brighter during the day. This variation in light and shadow is a natural phenomenon, and each season offers a different viewing experience. The actual scenery may also differ depending on the weather and lighting conditions of the day; please be aware of this.
