Seven days through Hokkaido's eastern lakes and Sapporo. Stay in onsen towns at Lake Akan and Sounkyo Gorge. Visit the red-crowned crane park in Kushiro, ride the ropeway up Mt Sounkyo, walk through Abashiri Prison Museum, and eat all-you-can-eat crab in Sapporo.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Soak in Lake Kussharo's sand soup, where the beach is heated by volcanic springs and you dig your own hot bath by the water.
- Feed the bowing deer at Nara, then ride the Daisetsuzan ropeway to snow-dusted peaks where the air is so cold it stings.
- Eat three types of Hokkaido crab at the onsen hotel buffet, where king crab legs are piled next to snow-crab miso soup.
- Walk through Abashiri Prison Museum's wooden cells where political prisoners froze in winter, then warm up with ramen at Asahikawa Ramen Village.
- Wander the Ainu Ethnic Village at Lake Akan, where carved owl totems line the path and the guide explains bear-spirit worship over a bonfire.
