About the trip

This eight-night escorted tour by G Adventures takes you across Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, largely on foot and at a steady pace. After meeting in Tokyo, the group flies to Memanbetsu before heading to the wild terrain of Shiretoko National Park, where the trek includes visits to five lakes and a waterfall that punctuates the forests.

Highlights include a ride on the Asahidake Ropeway that ascends Daisetsuzan National Park for a rare perspective on Hokkaido’s volcanic landscape. A night at a ryokan beside lake Akan includes time to relax in the hot springs—a chance to wash trek-weary limbs. You’ll also sample local ramen in Asahikawa, wander the Sapporo’s Nijo Market and savour a cold drink at the Beer Museum, providing a contrast to the island’s natural serenity.

The group is small—max 16—which suits the active yet unhurried itinerary. Your Chief Experience Officer is there to ease the logistics, leaving the focus on the region’s landscapes, culture and food, rather than the accumulated miles.
