As most Japanese cities, and especially the capital, are not only crammed but seem to be constructed almost completely out of concrete, getting out now and again and seeing some nature is not only nice, but necessary. A need that makes the huge northern island of Hokkaido a common summertime destination due to its colossal coastal plains and comfortable climate.
These appealing attributes more often than not making it the perfect spot for city types to de-stress and soak up the scenery on their, erm, Segways.

I didn’t know that Segways come with off road tires.
