It’s summer, it’s August, and it feels like I’m swimming through soup every time I step outside. It can only mean one thing: Obon–and summer vacation–is coming with it.

Why am I excited? Because I’m going to be running away to Hokkaido for several days!

I have been there before, but this time I will not only be revisiting a place I’ve been to but also hitting up new spots.

This post is mostly to let you know that you can expect several posts in the near future that will be Hokkaido and Obon-related, so keep an eye out! See you on the flip side!
