Hokkaido Vacation Packages


Hokkaido is one of Japan's best-kept secrets. The northernmost of Japan's four major islands, it is very sparsely-populated and geographically diverse. Its capital and largest city, Sapporo, is well-known for the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, which over two million people visit each February. The most agricultural part of Japan, Hokkaido is considered 'Japan's breadbasket' because it leads the nation in production of foods such as wheat, milk, corn, and beef. It is a popular winter tourist destination, famed for skiing, and also a great place to visit in the summer when the weather is much cooler than in central and southern Japan.

    Shikoku is the smallest of the four main Japanese islands, separated from Honshu by the Inland Sea. It is perhaps best-known to tourists for its 88-temple Buddhist pilgrimage route, which runs for 895 miles adjacent to Shikoku`s coastline.

  • Kyushu

    Kyushu is the westernmost of Japan`s four major islands, and is well-known for its outdoor vacation experiences and gorgeous landscapes. One of Japan`s geothermal hot spots, Kyushu is dotted by a number of hot springs and even more volcanoes.
