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 locations location, right by the JR Sapporo Station and direct access to underground shopping and dining. Their buffet breakfast is second to none, a hands-down winner!


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!
