To the famous autumn foliage spots of Sapporo in deepening autumn, nostalgic Otaru, and Shiroi Koibito Park!
As autumn deepens, the Jozankei area reveals some of Sapporo's most beautiful autumn leaves. This course offers premium vantage points, such as a dam and a gondola, to admire the spectacular scenery painted in fiery reds and glittering golds. It is truly a journey to experience the beauty of autumn to your heart's content.
Hoheikyo Dam is a vital water source for Sapporo and a scenic spot boasting overwhelming structural beauty. The magnificent scenery woven by the steep rock faces, the rich autumn foliage, and the massive arch of the dam is nothing short of art. You might even catch a glimpse of a brilliant rainbow forming in the spray from the tourist water discharge.
At the next stop, Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort, enjoy a stroll through the sky in a gondola. The brightly colored mountainsides spreading out below offer a picture-scroll-like beauty with a different charm than Hoheikyo Dam. You can fully immerse yourself in the majestic landscape painted by mother nature.
After passing through the mountain roads and arriving in Otaru, which is steeped in nostalgic charm, you will have free time to explore. Stroll through the city at your leisure—visiting the Otaru Canal, the Nitori Museum of Art, or Sakaimachi Street, lined with various shops like Kitaichi Glass, the Otaru Music Box Museum, and Kitakaro—and spend time savoring local delicacies at your favorite spots.
To conclude the trip, we will head to Shiroi Koibito Park*, a major sweets theme park. It is packed with highlights, including an English garden and the delightful parade of the Automaton Clock Tower that takes place at the top of every hour.
* Visiting the paid areas is optional.
Experience the powerful yet delicate brilliance of autumn, born from the dramatic temperature shifts of this northern land. Please enjoy this striking beauty, unique to this season, on a relaxing and comfortable journey that only a regular sightseeing bus can provide.
