Sapporo & Kansai (6 days / 5 nights)
Journey to Hokkaido’s Refreshing Northern Steppes & the Enchanting Sights of Kyoto and Osaka |
 |
 |
| Hokkaido’s charm is its relative newness, compared to the rest of Japan, while Kyoto and Osaka relish in their ancient history and tradition. These two opposites tell the tale of the depth of Japanese culture. On this tour, you’ll come to know the climate and natural features that brought about this culture through first-hand experience, especially via hands-on workshops that allow you to get up close and personal with the world of Japanese beauty.
