The Okhotsk region boasts of a lovely city blessed with amazing surroundings. That’s Kitami, the second largest city in the Eastern Circuit of Hokkaido.
There are no direct cheap flights to Kitami but if you are traveling by plane, you will have to land on Memambetsu Airport, which is about 42 minutes from downtown. You can take either a bus or taxi service from the airport and pay the corresponding fee to get to the city.
Kitami is a great place to explore every season. During fall, purple azaleas go in bloom. So you will find the Onneyu Azalea Hill draped in purple when you visit in May. During winter, the sea is covered in ice. The cloudless blue sky is further adorned with green hills for a truly spectacular view. From spring until autumn, there are two places to be at in order to discover the rich flora and fauna of Kitami. There’s the Kitami Flower Paradise and the Wakka Wild Flower Park. In both flower parks, different species of flowering and non-flowering plants provide a mix of wild colors that are truly pleasing to the eye.
Visiting the parks, however, do not commensurate everything that is out there to discover in Kitama. You must also pay homage to history by visiting the Pierson Memorial House and the world’s biggest, the Kamurin Cuckoo Clock Tower.
If you are a nature tripper, you will not get short of sights to see when you take cheap flights to Kitami. You can go on a sightseeing trip to the onion fields or the rolling hills in Tanno. You may also enjoy wonderful activities like skiing in the Ski Field and witnessing horse racing at the Banba Horse Racing circuit. You may also visit the Tokoro Handcrafts Center and the Lake Tomisato Forest Park to get a better feel of the local lifestyle.
There are also many hotels in Kitami that are surrounded by astounding views of natural sceneries. Before you book, make sure that you are well-informed about the prices and services. That’s how you best decide for the deal that will give your hard earned money the value it deserves.
