Image source and detailsAbout Hokkaido
Hokkaido is a destination where you can combine city sightseeing and natural scenery to suit the region and season of your visit. The official tourism website introduces trips around cities such as Sapporo, Otaru and Hakodate, as well as model courses that visit various parts of Hokkaido. When planning your trip, first decide on a base and the areas you will visit, and make a comfortable schedule that includes travel time. You can also take your time enjoying a single region, for example with city walks combining Sapporo and Otaru, or a stay centred on Hakodate. Keep plans for enjoying nature flexible so they can be adjusted to the weather, and check the latest information on public transport, roads and facilities in advance. The example areas are suggestions for putting a trip together and do not guarantee travel times or transport services.
