Fully enjoy Shakotan, Otaru, and Sapporo in one day. A comprehensive sightseeing tour that only a scheduled tour bus can offer.
Travel from Sapporo along the Sea of Japan to the Shakotan area. Stroll through Otaru, then stop by a sweets-themed park on the way back. This is a packed, best-of itinerary you can only enjoy by bus.
The first stop is Cape Kamui at the northwestern tip of the Shakotan Peninsula. On the way, the bus will stop at Road Station Space Apple Yoichi, a highlight in its own right. Try the popular apple pie made with locally grown Yoichi apples or the rich, creamy soft-serve ice cream. Perfect treats for the journey.
Upon arrival at Cape Kamui, enjoy about one hour of free time. A well-maintained 770-meter walking trail leads to the tip of the cape, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. In early summer, vibrant yellow Ezo daylillies bloom along the path, and from the cape’s edge, you can take in sweeping ocean views and a gently curved horizon.
After taking in Shakotan’s stunning scenery, disembark at Otaru Canal Terminal for free time to explore the town. Nearby highlights include Otaru Canal, Denuki Koji, and Sakaimachi Street. It’s recommended to plan ahead where to visit and where to enjoy lunch.
On the return to Sapporo, stop at Shiroi Koibito Park, a sweets-themed attraction, for sightseeing and shopping.* Enjoy an English garden with around 200 rose bushes and seasonal flowers, and a whimsical clock tower where mechanical animals perform a parade every hour, on the hour.
*Entry to paid areas is optional.
A memorable journey through Hokkaido, from the endless blue seas of Shakotan to the historic charm of Otaru and Sapporo’s iconic sights. A full day packed with unforgettable experiences.
