Eight days across Japan's wild northern island with your own car and driver — the only way Hokkaido's distances make sense. Sapporo's food halls and Otaru's canal, the flower fields of Furano and Biei's patchwork hills, the waterfall cliffs of Sounkyo Gorge, the caldera lake of Toya, Noboribetsu's steaming Hell Valley, and Hakodate's harbour with its million-dollar night view. Four onsen towns, four different baths. Each season repaints the route — lavender in high summer, snow walls in spring, fire-red hills in autumn — so we adjust the stops to what is actually in season when you land.
