Jozankei & Niseko Fall Foliage Day Trip
The fall foliage of Central Hokkaido is among the best in Japan, and we’ll visit 2 sites - one is very famous, the other off-the-beaten-path - with stunning nature scenery throughout the day. Our first stop will be at Jozankei Onsen Village, a short drive from Sapporo, where we’ll walk or take a short shuttle bus to see the nationally-famous Hoheikyo Dam, where a colorful range of deciduous trees cling precipitously to the cliffs. We’ll then drive over Nakayama Pass into the Mt. Yotei region, a mountain affectionately called the “Fuji of the North.” Along the scenic drive we will pass a local products market, as well as Hokkaido’s most beautiful freshwater spring. We can stop for lunch on route at a restaurant of your choice before driving up the Niseko Mountains to Goshiki Onsen, a small geothermal hot spring area. The area is full of brightly colored foliage amid geothermal features. Nearby is Yumoto Hot Springs Lake & Yukichichibu Onsen, where we’ll have an onsen at one of Niseko’s best hot springs with indoor & outdoor baths. This great day trip is sure to leave a lasting impression of the beautiful fall landscapes of Hokkaido.
