I have learnet the the temperature is a little lower in the north, but do we have anyone here who have spent the summer in Hokkaido or anyone who knows if it´s cooler there and if u get soaked in sweat there also 
I really need to know if it´s a difference in the climate in the north compared to Tokyo. I will spend a lot of money to travel to Japan and I don´t won´t to waste it to get soaked in sweat So should I go or not to north of Japan in the summer? |
You wouldn't get sweaty unless you start running around. It's not
that hot. The summer in Hokkaido doesn't last long and is more like autumn by Honshu standards. In fact, South Sweden and Hokkaido belong to the same climate zone
Dfb (Warm Summer Continental or Hemiboreal Climate) according to the
Köppen-Geiger climate classification. Tohoku and the Central Highlands have
Dfa (Hot Summer Continental Climate) and the rest of Honshu
Cfa (Humid Temperate Climate). People in Honshu go to Hokkaido to escape from heat and enjoy hiking, cycling and camping from June to September.
Sapporo has big city attractions. Hakodate is known for the spectacular night view from Mt. Hakodate. Furano in central Hokkaido is known for lavender and flower fields. These are the cities I would visit, although I have visited Asahikawa and Kushiro in August as well. I have a friend from Asahikawa.
Hokkaido has a number of national parks: Daisetsuzan, Shiretoko, Rishiri, Rebun, Lake Toya, Lake Akan, and Onuma. I can provide links to pictures of Hokkaido if you want.
In short, you should go!
