“Along the Cassiopeia Road” is named after the famous night train that operated between Ueno Station in Tokyo and Sapporo. This luxury train, the Cassiopeia, a Japanese version of the Orient Express made its debut in 1999 and completed its final journey on March 21st, 2016 with the launch of the Hokkaido Shinkansen. 


While not quite the same path, join us on this unique tour as we journey from Hokkaido’s northern capital, Sapporo to Japan’s southern capital of Tokyo. Visit Sapporo, Otaru, Lake Toya, Hakodate, Aomori, Hirosaki City, Morioka and ending with three nights in Tokyo.      


With the start of the autumn season, appreciate nature as the hills begin to show their foliage colors and the slow transition into winter.


It is a fall school break tour like no other, come, join along on this unique 8-night journey. Enjoy the best of Japan’s transportation modes, two bullet train rides, boat cruise on Lake Toya and a mountain ropeway experience. Enjoy hands-on experiences, music box making in Otaru and kite painting in Tsugaru.   


In Tokyo, we hit the right spots for touring and omiyage shopping, Tsukiji Outer Market, Ameyoko Shopping Street, Asakusa, newly opened Shibuya Scramble Square, and TeamLabs. There’s also a complete free day at the end to shop or explore on your own.
