Hoshido? That almost sounds like Hokkaido...

[Said only because he remarked on the similarity between Hoshido having a similar clothing style, so she wonders if she's misunderstanding an accent, or perhaps a local word for the same place.]

I wonder if the name has changed lately? I have not visited the Near Shore in so long... Is it not the northernmost prefecture and region of Japan? A large island known for its snowy months?
