Hokkaido Self Guided

October 21, 2026 - January 1, 1970

We enjoyed our trip very much. It was much easier than trying to arrange it ourselves but it gave us the flexibility to see what we wanted and in the time that suited us

Itinerary

We enjoyed the different areas that we visited. There was plenty to explore at each area we stayed

Lodging

The hotels were of a high standard and were mostly resort style hotels with Japanese guests. They were located so as to be good bases for travelling

Food

The buffet breakfasts and dinners were varied at each hotel. The kaiseki meals provided a private meal which was a good change

Guides

We only had a guide for 1 day in Sapporo. She was very helpful and informative. She also had advice about our self guided tour

Pre-Tour Handbook

Before we left on our tour we received many updated itineraries which was confusing with the final itinerary sent after we had arrived in Japan. This was concerning but everything worked out well
