Lake Akan Ainu Kotan

Hokkaido isn't just a winter wonderland for skiing; it unfolds its beauty in every season. I'm excited to share this road trip itinerary that unveils the diverse wonders of Hokkaido's nature. While it's feasible to explore Hokkaido using public transport, the options are limited, flexibility is reduced, and meticulous planning becomes essential due to less frequent services. For that, you can engage my service at Thatch to customise your perfect travel itinerary. I'm here to help you make the most of your Hokkaido adventure!

An efficient itinerary that packs in the best of Central and Eastern Hokkaido by car🚙, taking advantage of the smooth roads and plentiful rest stops.

It was not easy finding information on Eastern Hokkaido online so I’m so excited to share with you the guide I wish I had.
