The Experience
Experience the Best of Hokkaido’s Autumn This tour offers a perfect blend of majestic nature, breathtaking heights, historic charm, and sweet indulgence. Discover why these four locations are the crown jewels of Hokkaido’s fall season.
Hoheikyo Gorge: A Hidden Autumn Sanctuary Hoheikyo is consistently ranked as a top foliage destination in Japan. To preserve its pristine beauty, access is limited to eco-friendly electric buses. This secluded gorge offers a dramatic 360-degree panorama where fiery red maples and golden birches contrast beautifully with the emerald green waters of the dam. It is a peaceful sanctuary where you can truly immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of untouched nature.
Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort: A "Sky Walk" Above the Colors Take a scenic flight on the Autumn Gondola to an altitude of 1,100 meters. As you soar above the forest, the landscape transforms into a vast, rolling carpet of crimson and gold. From the summit, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view that stretches all the way to the Sea of Japan. It is an exhilarating way to appreciate the sheer scale of Hokkaido’s wilderness from a bird’s-eye view.
Otaru Canal: A Romantic Journey Through Time Step into the nostalgic atmosphere of the Otaru Canal, where century-old stone warehouses and gas lamps line the cobblestone paths. Once the heart of Hokkaido's trade, this historic area is now a center for exquisite glasswork and music boxes. The canal’s romantic, old-world charm offers a beautiful contrast to the rugged mountains, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and unique souvenir shopping.
Shiroi Koibito Park: A Whimsical Chocolate Wonderland End your day at the home of Hokkaido’s most famous sweet. Shiroi Koibito Park is a fairy-tale theme park featuring a classic English garden and a mechanical clock tower. Whether you choose to watch the chocolate-making process in the factory, decorate your own cookies, or simply enjoy premium soft-serve ice cream, this "sweet" finale provides a delightful experience for visitors of all ages.（Access to the production line and paid facilities is optional and requires an additional fee.）
