Obihiro in the central region of Hokkaido is a treasure trove of gourmet cuisine. Enjoy dairy products at Hanabatake Bokujo and aromatic wine at Ikeda Wine Castle. If you’d like to get in touch with nature, we recommend Nukabira Lake. At night, head for the Tokachi river cruise. Aim for the moon and ride down the Obihiro River. If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of water and the sounds of animals in the depths of the darkness, and be immersed in the wilderness of the night.
On the second day, challenge airboarding at the Sahoro Resort Ski Area. Lie down on the board and glide down the slopes for the ultimate thrill! Even if you have no skiing experience, you can enjoy the force of the snow. One go and you'll surely fall in love with the beautiful and smooth slopes of Hokkaido’s powder snow. Afterward, give skiing and snowboarding a try too.
Head to Minamifurano and ice fish for smelt at Kanayama Lake. In an exclusive tent, start from drilling a hole in the snow. The first catch always feels exhilarating. For lunch, choose from a menu filled with nature’s bounty including Furano’s famous omelette curry. After visiting the Furano Market, head to Sapporo in the evening.
To the “Hokkaido One Day Winter Adventure Plan” departing from Sapporo. Enjoy snow activities you can only find in Hokkaido like dog sledding, snowshoeing, and fat bike cycling on the snow. It’s easy because a shuttle will take you anywhere you need to go. And to bring it all together, onsen is included. You can warm up after time spent out in the snow. For dinner in Sapporo, fill up with sushi and Jingisukan.
Head from Sapporo to Otaru by train and see the sights around the city. The port town of Otaru has a 100 year old history of prosperity with herring fishing, and the historical canals that line the streets remain to this day. For souvenirs, choose from music boxes and glass crafts. For lunch, we recommend a seafood rice bowl full of crab and salmon or a ramen shop that the locals visit.
