After years of planning, Destination Asia Japan is excited to announce that three multi-day itineraries and nine day-excursion products in Hokkaido are now available to book, with more to come later year. Visitors to Japan can now get away from the big cities and revel in nature while discovering first-hand the biodiversity of Japan’s unique natural environment.
Destination Asia Japan has been working to create tours within Hokkaido’s national park areas for years, however, the lack of guides and local operators made it difficult to provide quality services to our customers. Our local team were finally able to meet locally-based suppliers who are knowledgeable in both nature and sustainability.
