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!

Our Guiding Policy
Paramount for HNT tours is the safety and well-being of our clients. Our extensive experience in the mountains of Hokkaido and internationally gives us a profound respect for the powers of nature, and we will not hesitate to alter a trip if we encounter adverse weather conditions. All scheduled plans in the itinerary are subject to change according to safety conditions. Your safety is truly our top-priority.
Disclaimer
We take great care in creating fantastic tours for our guests which are custom-made to match their preferences. We will endeavor to follow the itinerary to the greatest possible extent. However, if changes to an itinerary must be made due to weather conditions, guest safety concerns or unexpected delays during a tour, HNT is not responsible if aspects of a tour cannot be achieved. If aspects of a tour are missed due to reasons beyond the guest’s control (such as weather related, unannounced closures, etc.), a refund will be provided for any missed activities, not including any cancellation fees imposed by hotels, operators or others.
Deposit & Cancellation Policy
A minimum 50% deposit must be received in order to confirm your tour with us at HNT. Any cancellations by any participants made prior to 30 days before the start of a tour are eligible for a 50% deposit refund (e.g. appx. 25% of the total tour price). Any cancellations by any participants made within & including 30 days before the start of a tour are not eligible for a deposit refund. Remainder payments can be settled in advance of the tour (2 weeks prior preferred) OR in cash (yen only) upon pick-up on Day 1 of the tour. Please note that tour cancellations made due to government mandated travel bans on/by Japan vis-a-vis the guest’s Country of Residence will be eligible for more lenient refund policies (please inquire for details).
Covid-related Tour Policy
With the unpredictability of travel due to the Coronavirus, we understand the need for greater flexibility while planning your trip to Hokkaido. As such, we are offering free tour postponements for any tours affected by international or domestic travel restrictions which restrict access to Hokkaido. If that means we need to cancel and/or re-book activities and/or accommodations, or redesign your custom-made itinerary to better match updated travel dates, we will do so free-of-charge. You can be assured that your tour deposit with us is safe, and we will await your arrival to Hokkaido for whenever conditions allow.
