Pure Hokkaido

Nine days through Hakodate, Noboribetsu, Otaru and Sapporo. USD $21,500 per person, on your own dates.

Pure Hokkaido is nine days across the north: Hakodate, Noboribetsu, Otaru and Sapporo, two nights in each, with six of the eight nights at ryokan whose baths are fed by their own hot springs. A private car and driver carries you between the four towns, and the journey runs in either direction, from Hakodate up to Sapporo or from Sapporo down to Hakodate, as your flights prefer.

Your Tour Director is with you every day, and Hokkaido's table, from the morning market at Hakodate to a sushi counter in Otaru, runs through the whole of it.
