It is a Hokkaido kid-friendly BBQ area list with hand-free information.
For us Doumin (道民, means people resident in Hokkaido), barbecuing is more than just a casual get-together – it’s a time treasure loves. There’s no better way to spend Japan Golden Week, weekends or summer holidays, than firing up the barbie, inviting over families and a few friends, and camping together.
