Luxury Hokkaido Tours 2027

The Hokkaido cherry blossom tour follows the northern blossom from Matsumae to Sapporo. The Summer Tour of Hokkaido takes the flower fields of Biei and Furano, the lakes and Otaru. The Wild North Tour of Hokkaido goes east, to Shiretoko and Lake Akan. The Autumn Leaves Tour of Northern Japan opens at Jozankei and Hakodate before crossing to Tohoku. Pure Hokkaido is the private choice, on your own dates.

Yes, two, each led by our Tour Directors. The Summer Tour of Hokkaido takes the lavender of Furano, Lake Shikotsu, Noboribetsu, Lake Toya and Otaru in twelve days, with two departures in 2027. The Wild North Tour of Hokkaido goes east to Shiretoko and Lake Akan, from 27 July to 6 August 2027. Both are set side by side on Japan summer tours.

For a first summer in the north, the Summer Tour of Hokkaido: the flower fields of Biei and Furano, a suite with its own onsen on Lake Shikotsu, fireworks over Lake Toya and the blue of the Shakotan coast, over twelve days. For the wilder east, the Wild North Tour of Hokkaido: the coast of Shiretoko from the water, Lake Akan and the Ainu community on its shore.

Nine days take in the south-west of the island well: Pure Hokkaido spends two nights each in Hakodate, Noboribetsu, Otaru and Sapporo. Our published Hokkaido tours run eleven to thirteen days, which allows the lakes and the onsen towns at an easy pace and, on the Wild North, the far east of the island at Shiretoko and Lake Akan.

Yes. It is home to six of Japan's national parks, Lake Shikotsu, the clearest lake in the country, onsen towns such as Noboribetsu, the culture of the Ainu at Upopoy, and a table the rest of Japan looks north to, from the crab and sea urchin of its coasts to the dairy of Tokachi. It is another Japan from Tokyo and Kyoto: wide, green and quiet, with distances that a private vehicle turns into the pleasure of the day.

Our published Hokkaido tours are $18,500 per person for the Cherry Blossom and Summer tours, $21,500 for the Wild North and $19,500 for the Autumn Leaves Tour of Northern Japan, twin share, one inclusive price: all breakfasts, and all other meals as detailed in the itinerary.
