We went to Japan in April, 2015, and as part of that trip we spent a week on Hokkaido devoted to birding. We flew into Memambetsu Airport and flew out of Kushiro back to Tokyo for our trip home. We spent all of our time on the eastern side of Hokkaido and stayed at Japanese style lodgings. It was still cold - the lakes were frozen and there was a lot of snow on the ground in many areas. But, we saw lots of birds including Blakiston's Fish-owl, Ural Owl and Stellar's Sea Eagle.
I've sent Martha more details of our trip and experience.
