Omiyage is a gift or souvenir you give to friends, coworkers, and family after returning home from a trip. Omiyage is so much more than just an edible souvenir. Here in Hawaii, bringing back omiyage from Japan is almost a tradition.


Sapporo is one of Japan's most cosmopolitan cities. Its wide streets and tree lined boulevards give the city an almost European feel. Coffee shops and cafes proliferate throughout the city and the center is packed with a fantastic range of shops, restaurants, and bars. After a day of exploring the city, you can get your energy back over a hot meal and the delicious liquid gold, Sapporo beer.


No Hokkaido tour is ever complete without a visit to Otaru, a romantic port town steeped in a rich history that dates to its glory days as a major herring center.   


There is more yet, as we venture to Asahikawa, Hokkaido 2nd largest city. On the way, an all-important stop at Sunagawa Highway Oasis. It is truly a shopping oasis, everything Hokkaido is here under one roof and duty free!


Lastly, to enjoy the best of a Hokkaido’s summer, visits to Furano and Biei, best known for their picturesque rural landscapes. July is one of the best times, when the lavender fields are in bloom.


So much to see and do on our 5-night tour. There is a free day in Sapporo, Nijo Fish Market, Shiroi Koibito Park, 2-hand on experiences, ice cream making and fruit picking, and 2 flower viewing spots. There is even a drive along Sunagawa Sweet Road, historically known as Highway 12, the main route between Sapporo and Asahikawa. Today, it’s heaven if you want to get your sugar fix, offering a variety of cake and pastry shops.
