Episode 11 - Fox Attraction IV















Fox Attraction (IV)


As mentioned previously, there are quite a lot of wild foxes in Hokkaido, Japan (see Episode Eight). Some local towns even use the fox as a symbol.

The photo shows a direction stand in front of a road station at Hidaka. You can see a cartoon fox at the top of the stand.

Road stations are common in Hokkaido. They are built for the benefit of car travellers. Apart from car parking spaces, a typical road station has restaurants and shops. You can stop your car at a road station to take a rest, have food and do some shoppings.

I stopped my car at the station and enjoyed some tasty noodles at a restaurant nearby.
