Hokkaido compared to Singapore which is a all-year-round summer country, is cooling even during summer.
Summer
For kids
Short sleeves with cardigan or long sleeves for children will be comfortable. Usually it is the strong wind that I would add additional long sleeve jacket or cardigan while walking to destination.
For adults
Short sleeve will be enough. For those who are worry, can bring cardigan along. The wind is cooling like aircon.
End spring and early autumn
For kids choose a thicker coat or winter jacket. Sometimes a thicker long sleeve top will be enough for kids as they run around and have higher temperature.
For adutls, same as kids
Early spring, early and end winter , late autumn
For kids
- waterproof winter jacket
- kniited or wool sweater
