In the morning, after enjoying a hearty breakfast, your day will begin with a scenic journey to some of Hokkaido’s most picturesque photography spots.

You’ll be taken to several locations where winter transforms the landscape into a breathtaking snowy wonderland—Biei, in particular, becomes a dreamlike canvas of white during this season, offering stunning photo opportunities at every turn.

You’ll also visit Farm Tomita and Shikisai Hill. While these spots are famous in summer for their vibrant lavender and phlox flower fields, in winter, they reveal a completely different charm—serene, snow-covered panoramas that feel like scenes from a postcard.

By late afternoon, after your photography adventure, you’ll return to the Asahikawa area to relax and enjoy a delicious dinner before heading back to your hotel to rest for the night.

Day 3 Asahikawa – Lake Saroma – Abashiri

After breakfast, your journey continues as we take you from Asahikawa to the beautiful and tranquil Lake Saroma.

Lake Saroma is one of Hokkaido’s most stunning lakes, especially in winter, its vast, icy expanse set against the backdrop of snow-covered hills creates a scene that’s both dramatic and serene.

If you’re lucky, you may even catch a rare glimpse of wild Hokkaido wolves roaming near the lake, an unforgettable sight for wildlife and photography enthusiasts alike.

After spending time capturing the beauty of Lake Saroma from various photography spots, we’ll continue the journey toward the Abashiri area, where more winter wonders await.

Upon arrival in the Abashiri area, you’ll have the option to enjoy a warm and satisfying dinner, either at a local restaurant or served in the comfort of your ryokan or hotel, often featuring fresh local seafood and seasonal Hokkaido delicacies.

After a full day of exploring and photography, we highly recommend indulging in one of Japan’s most relaxing traditions: a soak in a hot spring bath (onsen). The soothing warm waters are perfect for easing away fatigue, especially after a day spent in the cold winter air.

It’s the ideal way to unwind and rejuvenate, body and mind, before continuing your Hokkaido adventure.

Day 6 Moerenuma – Otaru – Kiroro Snow Resort

After breakfast, we’ll check out from the hotel and begin the day with a short Sapporo City Tour.

In winter, it transforms into a family-friendly snow playground where you can enjoy snow sledding, beginner snowboarding, and skiing on gentle, easily accessible slopes. It’s a great spot for some light winter fun and photography.

Around midday, we’ll head to the charming town of Otaru for lunch. Known for its beautifully preserved canal area, once a bustling port during Japan’s Meiji era, Otaru offers a nostalgic atmosphere with old warehouses now turned into cafés, glass shops, and local eateries. It’s a perfect blend of history and scenery.

After lunch, we’ll continue to Kiroro Snow Resort, one of Hokkaido’s top winter destinations. Located just a short drive from Otaru, Kiroro offers a full winter sports experience—from skiing and snowboarding to snow play activities for all ages. Whether you’re a beginner or an enthusiast, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the snow to your heart’s content.
