Off the Beaten Path: Hokkaido, Japan

Most travelers to Japan tend to focus on Tokyo and Kyoto, which are both amazing cities.

But if you want to get off the beaten path, here place that most travelers miss.

While not a complete “secret,” it’s a shame that so many Japan travelers miss Hokkaido.

Hokkaido is Japan’s northernmost island and a nature-lover’s paradise.

It’s home to national parks, lakes and hot springs, brilliant flowers, and some of the world’s best powder skiing and snowboarding, at famous resorts like Niseko.

It’s also a major foodie destination, offering some of Japan’s best seafood, and a variety of local specialties. 

While best known for its winter offerings,  including the impressive Sapporo Snow Festival, Hokkaido is just as appealing in summer.

The Furano Flower Fields are an amazing reason to visit in summer, and summer is also the perfect time to take advantage of Hokkaido’s many national parks, pristine lakes, adventure sports, wildlife, and fresh Sapporo beer.

On top of all this, Hokkaido offers some exquisite ryokans (a type of traditional Japanese inn), where you can enjoy traditional Japanese hospitality in beautiful natural surroundings, and an incredible meal featuring local and seasonal ingredients.
