2-Day Tour: Niseko, Shakotan Peninsula & Otaru
Make the most of your trip to Hokkaido on a 2 Day Tour with HNT! After pick-up from Sapporo, we’ll drive over a mountain pass to the Mt. Yotei Region, where there are local products markets and freshwater springs. We’ll have lunch in Niseko, which in winter is a bustling ski center but reverts to quiet countryside in the summer. The rest of the afternoon will be spent at the Goshiki Onsen and Niseko Highland Marsh areas, where the geologically active mountains are complemented by the stillness of the highland marsh. Enjoy beautiful nature walks in this off-the-beaten-path destination. Our overnight will be in Niseko, with onsen, dinner & breakfast included.
On Day 2, we’ll spend the morning admiring the stunning coastal scenery of Shakotan Peninsula, where cliffs plunge into the deep blue Sea of Japan. Take a walk out to Cape Kamui’s iconic lighthouse, and snap photos of the peculiar rock formations elsewhere. The peninsula is justifiably famous for seafood, with uni (sea urchin) being the main drawcard. In the afternoon, we can either visit the award-winning Nikka Whisky Distillery, or go for all-you-can-eat fruit picking (self-pay), depending on your preference. Our last stop will be at the Otaru historical shopping district & canal, where some of the most iconic food brands have storefronts. Come enjoy this 2-day nature & sightseeing tour with us which will be the highlight of your time in Hokkaido!
Highlights of the Tour
✔ Admire the variety of nature including geologically active hot springs stream & lake, highland marshes, coastal scenery, freshwater springs & more
