The name "Hocotate" comes from Nintendo Japan's headquarters' street address, 11-1 Kamitoba hokotate-cho. From what can be seen, at least part of the planet is desert-like, though the [[President]] notes a location known as the "Hocotate Swamp". The planet shows some signs of flora growing on its surface, including vegetables ([[Pikpik carrot|Pikpik carrots]] for example). When viewed from space, the planet itself is colored purple and possesses a set of two intersecting [[Wikipedia:Planetary rings|planetary rings]]. [[Hocotate Freight]] appears to be in or near a built up area, which suggests that some parts of Hocotate are densely populated.

Hocotate is a pink-colored planet with some blue and green patches, two intersecting planetary rings, and two moons, one red and one gray. Stars are visible from the planet's surface during the daytime, behind any clouds that may be present, indicating a very transparent atmosphere. The green and blue coloring of the planet likely indicates part of it is covered with plant life and water, but at least part of the planet is desert-like, and a portion of the planet is occupied by a swamp. Hot springs are also present, indicating that geothermally heated water exists in the planet's crust, and there is at least one beach, suggesting that the planet has at least one ocean. Hocotate Freight appears to be in or near a built-up area, which suggests that at least some of Hocotate may be densely populated. Hocotate is famous for its pikpik carrots, has a multitude of plants, including vegetables, and animals living on it, and is said to be quite close to Koppai.

Hocotatians are the dominant species of Hocotate and have superior intelligence. Physically, Hocotatians are small and have a humanoid shape, a large head-to-body ratio, large noses, broad, pointed ears, a modest amount of hair on their heads, and eyes that change shape to show emotions and accommodate their normally-invisible eyebrows. They are capable of efficient extraterrestrial exploration and interaction and use extremely advanced technology. Their primary means of communication is speech, and they are able to read and write. Oxygen is incredibly toxic to them.
