Postcards in Hokkaido

日本的郵局會販賣象徵當地的事物或動物來作成造型的明信片。例如在北海道就有成吉思汗烤肉、北狐、棕熊的明信片等繪圖明信片。只要貼上郵票就可以寄送到國外。身處在使用網路是理所當然的時代，特地從旅遊地區寄送明信片搞不好會更有趣。

Most post offices in Japan sell post cards which show unique images of local speciality foods or regional animals. The design is different in each prefecture. For example, in Hokkaido, Jingisukan barbecue, the Ezo red fox, and the Hokkaido brown bear are in the series. Of course, they are actual postcards for sending, locally or to foreign countries It might be interesting for foreign tourists to send these post cards to their family and friends at home while they are enjoying their travel. It may be a lovely surprise getting a postcard in today’s world of Facebook, Instagram, and emails.
