Feast on fun! See Japan’s Great North this autumn!

Hokkaido + Aomori, a stunning combination

Lake Towada, Aomori prefecture

Fully guided and including 22 delicious meals, a free pocket WiFi router, and much more, our carefully crafted itinerary has everything from picking Aomori’s famous apples fresh at the orchard, to drinking in the scenery after riding a ropeway to the top of Mt. Hakkoda, and even learning first-hand cooking tips from a local fisherman’s family. There’s a fireworks show and superb local ice cream at Lake Toya, a hands-on glass blowing experience in Otaru, and free time to explore Japan’s bustling metropolis of Tokyo. Plus much, much more!


A special highlight of this tour is TWO nights at Hoshino Resorts’ spectacular 5-star luxury resort Aomori-ya. Dedicated to regional Tsugaru culture, this incredible destination features distinctive touches like an “Aomori Apple Juice Fountain” where you can drink your fill of the prefecture’s famous juice, plus specially designed illumination in the onsen baths that make you feel like you’re floating in another world and an extravagant buffet dinner that will have you going back for seconds, thirds, fourths, and more! Watch a preview video of this truly unique accommodation and see why Aomori-ya is an absolute can’t-miss location.
