Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido is famous for skiing, wild nature, lavender fields and fresh seafood. Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, is known for beer, crab and ramen. Go hiking around the Shikotsu-Toya National Park, filled with volcanic calderas and clear lakes. Eat your fill of fresh summer fruit or the local specialty 'genghis khan', a mountain of grilled mutton. Popular in the winter for skiing, and in the summer as a place to escape the heat, Hokkaido awaits you!

Sapporo Tours
The best time to travel to Sapporo is...anytime. The capital of Hokkaido is a popular winter destination but there are many activities and things to do in any season. A cool respite in the summer, delightful colorful flower fields in the spring, red and yellow leaves in the fall—all the seasons bring out a unique and beautiful charm. From private tours to visits to Shiroi Kobito Park and Okurayama, or a trip from Sapporo to Otaru, here are our top ways to enjoy this popular destination.
Furano & Biei Tours
Discover the gorgeous flower fields of Furano and Biei. See rows upon rows of lavender blooms, venture to Asahikawa and Biei Blue Pond, see the cute animals at Asahiyama Zoo and more. Travel in comfort in your very own private taxi.
Lake Shikotsu Tours
The well-known Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival, while a large even that's not to be missed, there are many other things to do in the area. Visit Hokkaido's two most famous bodies of water, Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, see the active volcano, Mt. Usu, relax in an outdoor onsen hot spring at Marukoma, and more. Discover the natural beauty that awaits you just outside of Sapporo.
Asahiyama Zoo
This popular zoo allows visitors to see the animals up close through the unusual enclosures. See cute polar bears, red pandas, penguins, seals and more—just an arm's length away! Book tours from Sapporo, and avoid having to drive or figure out train times, as well as standing in line for tickets. Save with combined tours to Blue Pond, Furano, Biei, and Tomita Farm and discover some of Hokkaido's best sights.
Otaru Tours
A short drive away from Sapporo, Otaru is known for its Western-style architecture, beautiful canal area and local wine (and sweets!). Check out for the Victorian street lamps, or stroll in magical atmosphere during the yearly Snow Light Path Festival. Choose from a large variety of tours, with something to suit every budget.
Kushiro Crane Viewing
Nature lovers and bird watchers will enjoy seeing Japan's famous red-crowned crane. Visit the Kushiro Crane Reserve, Akan International Crane Center, Kushiro Marsh Observatory, Tanchozuru National Park, and spot these beautiful birds in a natural setting. Whether you're after great photos, or simply enjoying being in nature and gazing at the large birds which are known as a symbol of longevity and luck.
Kushiro Tours
The port city of Kushiro, home to Japan's largest marshland, Kushiro Shitsugen, is a delight to nature lovers. See red-crested cranes, visit Lake Mashu, Lake Akan, Lake Kassharo. Gaze at Mt. Iou, discover Shiretoko and Abashiri, and more. Breathe in the fresh Kushiro air, and let the beautiful nature around relax and rejuvenate you.
Noboribetsu Tours
Noboribetsu is known for having some of the best hot spring waters in Japan, with a whole series of different types to choose from. One of the must-see spots is Jigokudani (Hell Valley) just above the resort town, where you can see dramatic vents and spot amusing statues of 'oni' or demons, who are legendarily said to live in this volcanic valley. The nearby Date Historical Village is worth a visit, a theme park inspired by Japan’s feudal Edo Period, including a traditional Edo period town!
