Overview
Seven days across Hokkaido's southern half. Hakodate's million-dollar night view by cable car, hot-spring monkeys at the Botanical Garden, penguin parade at Noboribetsu, Lake Toya, Otaru Canal, and Sapporo's Hill of the Buddha. Five nights in four-star hotels, mostly hot-spring resorts.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Watch snow monkeys soak in their own hot spring at Hakodate Tropical Botanical Garden. They're unbothered, you're freezing, and the steam rising off the water makes it unreal.
- Ride the cable car up Mount Hakodate at dusk for the million-dollar night view. The harbour glows in twin arcs, and the tour leader knows which corner gets the best shot.
- Sleep at a Lake Toya hot spring hotel where the buffet includes crab, grilled salmon, and more seafood than you planned to eat. The outdoor onsen overlooks the lake.
- Walk Otaru Canal under vintage gas lamps, then duck into Kitaichi Glass to watch glassblowers shape sake cups you'll probably buy three of.
- Stand in front of the 13.5-metre Hill of the Buddha outside Sapporo. The head rises from a circular tunnel of lavender, and the silence up there hits different.
