Hokkaido Winter Adventure Tour.Nature, Cities, and Culture

The tour begins at a special location where you can view four national parks: Akan Mashu National Park, Shiretoko National Park, Kushiro Shitsugen National Park, and Daisetsuzan National Park. From this vantage point, you will first get an overview of Hokkaido’s natural areas and gain a deeper understanding of the region’s landscapes.

The Mashu Caldera, formed by a massive eruption around 7,000 years ago, offers a mystical view of Lake Mashu, often called the ‘Lake of the Gods.’ On clear days, you can also catch a glimpse of Mount Mashu and, in the distance, Mount Shari. On the way back, take a walk through the terrain from the Kussharo Caldera to the town of Teshikaga, immersing yourself in the local lifestyle of the rural area.

Travel from the natural areas to the urban center. During the bar hopping tour, explore unique and renowned establishments in the city center, from Tanukikoji to the Susukino area. A local guide will introduce you to Hokkaido’s food and alcohol culture, including craft beers from local breweries and regional sake. Enjoy the vibrant culture and lively atmosphere of the downtown area.

Visit AOAO, a facility that serves as a bridge between urban and natural areas, promoting environmental and nature education while fostering mutual understanding. Conclude your journey with a guided walk through the Sosei East area, known as ‘Sapporo’s downtown,’ where you can immerse yourself in local history and enjoy a luxurious lunch. At the lively Nijo Market, savor the freshest seafood.
