Aerial view from above Hokkaido! Note the
undulating mountainous landscape of the island gives it a picturesque 'texture'
from this distance. Snow-capped volcanic peaks can be seen, with snow filling
their dormant craters. The interior seems mostly uninhabited, the settlements
seemingly restricted to the small areas of flat land near the
coast.
Remembering and comparing with the scene from above
Honshu, for RPG players, one gets a strong feeling of "you have entered a new
area". Memories of flying Balamb Garden over the
world map in ~ Final Fantasy VIII ~ come to mind.
