Early October in Hokkaido is the perfect time of the year for touring, the weather dry and cool, ideal for sightseeing, shopping and just about anything outdoorsy. This four-night tour is perfectly balanced to enjoy all that Sapporo has to offer!

We begin in Sapporo, Hokkaido’s capital and one of Japan's most cosmopolitan cities. Its wide streets and tree lined boulevards give the city an almost European feel.

Accommodations for our stay is at the Century Royal Hotel Sapporo, known for having the best of location, right by the JR Sapporo Station with direct access to underground shopping and dining. Their buffet breakfast is second to none, winner of the 2019 Trip Advisor “Best Breakfast Hotels in Japan” award.

There’s also a day trip to Otaru, a bustling merchant port in its heyday. Much of Otaru’s iconic architecture from its glory days remain. There are great options for foodies and if you’re into music boxes or any kind of glass objects, this is the place! 

Just the beginning, as we have included fruit picking, the Nikka Whisky Factory, Nijo Fish Market, Shiroi Koibito Park and a visit to scenic Lake Shikotsu.

It’s an omiyage tour and we didn’t forget shopping. There’s the underground with hundreds of shops underneath our hotel, Tanukikoji Shopping Street where you’ll find a mega Don Quijote and Daiso, Nijo Market for all your fish items, Nikka Whisky for special spirits, Otaru’s many confectionary delights and a complete free day!
