This tour is designed to discover the beautiful landscapes of Hokkaido. By using public transportation, it is a sustainable tour that helps reduce CO₂ emissions. Traveling on quiet local trains with fewer passengers allows you to fully experience Hokkaido’s tranquility—the gentle sound of the train and expansive winter scenery unfolding outside the window.
