Welcome the autumn colors with the latest issue of Polestar! This time around, we have some articles introducing beginners to hiking in Hokkaido; a tour of the island’s Michi no Eki by someone who’s seen them all; reminiscences from a former ALT; an interview with the new prefectural advisor; a spotlight on the town of Teshikaga; and as usual, lots of beautiful photos of Hokkaido’s nature. Head on over to the Polestar page and check it out!
