About the trip

This ten-day trip with G Adventures begins amid the eclectic streets of Tokyo, where visits include the Asakusa Sensō-ji Temple and the shopping stalls of Nakamise, along with free time in Harajuku and Ueno Park. The city’s contrast of old and new is an energising starting point for what follows.

You then fly north to Hokkaido for several days in Shiretoko National Park, a World Heritage site known for forests stretching back to the last Ice Age and hikes around the Shiretoko Five Lakes and Furepe Waterfall. There’s also a chance to meet the Indigenous Ainu culture here and take a gondola ride on Asahidake for views above the tree line.

The final phase of the trip includes a stay in a traditional ryokan near Akan-ko, complete with onsen, and stops in Sapporo for its beer museum and markets. A ramen dinner in Asahikawa adds a welcome culinary note. All transport between places is included, but pack light — the flight to Hokkaido limits luggage to 20 kg.
