This special once-a-year tour still has a few spaces available to book, so if you don't want to miss out on this incredible experience then give us a call today! Far to the north of Japan's glittering metropolitan capital of Tokyo is the northernmost island in the Japanese archipelago: Hokkaido. Characterized by its vast wilderness and breathtaking natural beauty, it is often referred to as 'Japan's wild frontier'. Exploring the island is a singularly profound experience at any time of year, but Hokkaido is undoubtedly at its most enchanting during Winter. Due to its northerly locale, Winter in Hokkaido is very different from the rest of Japan-- a difference which is brilliantly showcased by the design of our special in-depth Hokkaido Winter Tour itinerary, featuring the 69th Sapporo Snow Festival! Discovering the serene beauty of Japan's 'winter wonderland' is truly a once in a lifetime experience, featuring penguins, open-air onsen atop a frozen lake, a bar made entirely of ice, an icebreaker cruise, collossal 1000-tonne snow sculptures, and so much more.  - Departures on Feb 6th and 10th
