Hokkaido powder

Destination

Hokkaido

Japan's northern frontier—where legendary powder snow meets pristine wilderness and the freshest seafood in the country.

Wild, beautiful, untamed

Hokkaido is Japan's final frontier. This vast northern island offers a completely different experience from the rest of the country—wide open spaces, dramatic seasons, and a pioneering spirit that sets it apart.

In winter, the world's lightest powder snow blankets mountain resorts. In summer, lavender fields stretch to the horizon. Year-round, the seafood is unmatched—fresh uni, crab, and salmon that rival anything you'll find anywhere on earth.
