Active Japan: Hokkaido in Winter, Sea Ice to Onsens
9 days
Starts Abashiri, JapanEnds Sapporo, Japan
About this trip
Hokkaido in winter doesn't do subtle either — everything's just quieter under snow. Snowshoe deep into the frozen hush of Shiretoko Five Lakes, drift across sea ice off the coast, and spend an afternoon with the Ainu Kotan learning stories older than the season itself. The reward comes at dusk, in a traditional onsen, snow still falling outside.
Highlights
- ✦Snowshoe through the snow-covered Shiretoko Five Lakes
- ✦Soak in a soothing onsen at a traditional ryokan
- ✦Discover the culture of northern Japan’s Indigenous Ainu people with a visit to Ainu Kotan Village
- ✦Float on the solid ice covering the sea
