Talk about a good start; make a stop by Otokoyama Sake Brewery and Museum in Asahikawa to learn more about the production process of one of Japan’s finest sakes. You will also get the opportunity to sample different types of sake. All that is left is to say “Kampai”. Next, be fascinated by Aoiike Blue Pond. The blue water, a result of minerals in the water from the nearby hot springs, is complemented by the pond bed that has turned white due to lime and sulphur.

Breakfast/Dinner

After breakfast, embark on a shopping spree at Mitsui Outlet Mall Park Kitahiroshima, a newly minted outlet mall that boasts a plethora of domestic and imported brands under one roof. Your day will reach a boiling point as you traipse through the sulphurous valley to experience boiling ponds and steaming streams at the famous Jigokudani, also known as Hell Valley. Next, take a photo stop at picturesque Lake Toya and Mt Showa, the volcanic lava dome. The phrase “grin and bear it” takes on a more literal and positive spin at Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch, with your introduction to the facility’s bevy of adorable bears. These bears are trained by professionals to delight visitors just the “bear” necessities: to wave and greet visitors upon their arrival. You may photograph and feed these fuzzy animals at your own expense. You may also pick up skincare products derived from horse oil at the local souvenir shop.

Breakfast/Dinner

Breathe in the spectacular panoramic views of Hokkaido. (Indeed, you are finally here.) Your first stop will be the evocative Otaru Canal, where charming century-old stone warehouses line both sides of the canal. The genteel theme continues at Otaru Music Box Museum, where whimsical displays of beautifully crafted music boxes will delight even the grumpiest of cynics. Visit a glass-craft workshop and pick up more mementos at Kitaichi Glass. Thereafter, spend the night in Sapporo city as your survey of fascinating Hokkaido draws to a close. End the day at one of Japan’s biggest entertainment spots and Sapporo’s downtown district, Susukino, where there is an array of bars, restaurants, and shopping stores.

Thereafter, proceed to Odori Park, located in the heart of Sapporo. This beautifully manicured green space is a charming assembly of monumental fountains, sculptures and flowerbeds.
