Niseko Autumn Season

We will be exploring some of the most beautiful fall foliage in Japan during our visit to Central Hokkaido. Throughout the day, we’ll visit two sites, one of which is well-known, while the other is more off-the-beaten-path, both offering stunning natural scenery.

Our first stop will be at Jozankei Onsen Village, just a short drive from Sapporo. Here, we’ll either take a brief private car ride or walk to see the famous Hoheikyo Dam, a nationally-renowned spot where a variety of colorful deciduous trees cling to the cliffs.

We’ll then cross over Nakayama Pass into the Mt. Yotei region, a mountain that’s often referred to as the “Fuji of the North.” During our scenic drive, we’ll pass through a local products market, as well as Hokkaido’s most picturesque freshwater spring. Before driving up the Niseko Mountains to Goshiki Onsen, a small geothermal hot spring area, we can stop for lunch at a restaurant of your choosing.

The area surrounding Goshiki Onsen is full of brightly colored foliage, amid geothermal features. We’ll also visit Yumoto Hot Springs Lake & Yukichichibu Onsen, a nearby location with some of Niseko’s best hot springs, featuring both indoor and outdoor baths.

This day trip promises to leave a lasting impression on the stunning fall landscapes of Hokkaido.
