Day 02
Noboribetsu – Rusutsu
(B/-/D)

Hotel: Rusutsu Resort (Hot Spring) or similar

Today we will visit Noboribetsu Jidaimura, a reproduced feudal-era village when the samurai ruled the country. Stepping into the park is like stepping back in time to a period where the ancient charm of Japan is abundant. All the shops, restaurants, theatres and a samurai district have been built and are staffed by people dressed in clothing of that period. “Ninja warriors” and merchants hawking their wares are common sights in this park. As you mingle with the Ninja and Oiran courtesans, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a movie in Japan that has been lost forever.

Heading to Rusutsu Resort, a resort with an amusement park that has over 60 attractions and 8 roller coasters including other numerous indoor and outdoor activities, we will stop by the "Sobetsu Fruit Village”, a collection of 21 fruits orchards in Sobetsu and visit one of them that can allow us to experience strawberry picking on an “Eat-All-You-Can” basis. Also, we will make a stop at Lake Hill Farm where you can try their home made gelato.

For the more actives one, you may want to consider going for a paragliding experience or trying a mountain bike tour. A horseback ride through the highland at Rusutsu is also worth considering.

(B/-/-)

Hotel: Hotel My Stay Sapporo or similar

Leaving Rusutsu, we will visit Fukidashi Springwater Park, officially listed as one of Japan’s best spring water spots with 80,000 tons of refreshingly cold spring water sprouting out per day. Have some free time in Otaru for strolling along Sakaimachi street where the cafes, restaurants, souvenirs shops, etc lined both side of the street before stopping by Ishiya Chocolate Factory, a Tudor-style building overlooking its theme park where you will find that it houses a chocolate and collectibles museum, cafe and sweets shop – even a rose garden as well. The outdoor area has a whimsical vibe about it, with cutesy animatronics that would come to life every hour when the clock tower struck.

Day 05

With another day in Sapporo, you can first visit Sapporo Curb Market, a seafood market where you can get some of the freshest seafood before continuing to Takino Suzuran Hillside Park, a paradise for the family where children will fully enjoy their day with the various facilities around. The Takino Suzuran Hillside National Government Park is the only national park in Hokkaido. The vast 400ha park grounds includes the Ashiribetsu Fall and is divided into the central, mountain stream, and eastern and western Takino Forest zones, which all offer unique enjoyment.
