Hokkaido
Hokkaido is the northernmost of Japan's four main islands, a country of caldera lakes, volcanoes and hot springs. Four of our six tours spend their nights here, most of them at ryokan with their own onsen, and Pure Hokkaido gives the island nine days of its own.

Reading on Hokkaido
- The Cranes of KushiroThe red-crowned crane spends its winter in the marsh and farmland around Kushiro, dancing in pairs on snow-covered ground in a courtship recovered from the edge of extinction.
- Biei and Furano: the Flower Fields of SummerBiei's patchwork hills and Furano's flower slopes sit twenty minutes apart in central Hokkaidō, joined by farm roads, named trees, and a mountain range that watches over both.
- Matsumae and the Castles of the Northern BloomHokkaidō's late cherry blossom season has its clearest architecture in three places: Matsumae's park of ten thousand trees in relay, Goryōkaku's star-shaped fort seen from above, and the port city of Hakodate that opened Japan to the world before most of the country had agreed to it.
