No: the missile peaked at 550km (probably about when it was over Japan), so unless a(n un)lucky Japanese civilian in "sparsely populated Hokkaido" was looking toward Pyongyang through a telescope at 6am and tweeted a photo of the missile in boost phase, I'd say you wouldn't even be able to tell what the object was.

Furthermore, if you don't trust reports from two nations' militaries, you definitely shouldn't trust anything on the Internet.

Hokkaido is beautiful this time of year, just sayin'
