The alpine summer in Hokkaido is a sight to see when it transforms from winter wonderland to the rich summery green. With a bourgeoning summer activity schedule there is something for everyone. Hokkaido’s summer weather is popular for mainland Japanese tourists; with only 5% of Japan’s population living on the island; it is a priority summer holiday destination. The travel route between Hokkaido and mainland Japan has immense ease of access with one of the busiest flight routes in the world and extensive underground tunnel access utilising both train and car options. Domestic tourists account for the majority of the summer visitors.
If you’re here for the autumn change then you will be in for a beautiful scene, as green turns to autumn golds, browns, yellows and oranges it is a sight to see.
