There’s no better way to remember a special trip than collecting souvenirs and sharing memories with friends and family back home through personally curated care packages; the tradition of “omiyage” describes just that. On this omiyage tour, we’ll explore famous landmarks and sites, celebrate Sapporo’s celebrity lilacs, immerse ourselves in northern Japanese culture, and shop for specialty items that you’ll not only enjoy but also that will delight your loved ones when you show them that you’ve been thinking about them too!
