Your Hokkaido Prefecture Holiday

With your travel plans organised before you go, our Hokkaido Prefecture holiday packages let you focus on enjoying yourself. And one of the best places to do that is Sapporo, which is known for its views, history and nature. With so many things to see on a trip to Hokkaido Prefecture, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Kick off your journey in Sapporo at Tanukikoji Shopping Street and Sapporo Dome — two much-loved attractions here. Another great city worth adding to your itinerary is Hakodate.
