THE KNOT SAPPORO

This map brings you my recommended accommodation options for visiting the beautiful island of Hokkaido, based off my personal experience having spent 10 days on a road trip through central and eastern Hokkaido (and countless hours of research before that!). 🔸 These may not be the most 'budget' options but are what I'd consider to be value-for-money, and most have got a special 'X' factor reason for being chosen, be it a unique breakfast, special privileges etc. ✨ 🔸 I traveled Hokkaido in late Spring🌸 (not Winter), so these would not be the best options if you're looking for a ski resort specifically (although option #6 below might just be your pick for the Winter too!) Included: 🏨 6 hotels (I've personally stayed in all of them) 📍 An interactive map available on mobile 💻 Direct links for you to book your accommodation below Want more info on traveling to Hokkaido?
