Assemble at Singapore Changi Airport for flight to Haneda.

Day 01
Singapore – Haneda – Chitose – Noboribetsu
(Coach: -/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Noboribetsu Daiichi Takimotokan (Hot Spring) or similar

Let Wagyu Beef Loghouse Bibi introduce you to the world of Hokkaido food. Catch tantalizing whiffs of barbecue meat before you even step foot into the restaurant. As the door opens, you will be greeted with the mouth-watering sight and sound of tender cuts of wagyu beef sizzling on the charcoal grill. Work off the effects of a sumptuous lunch by taking part in the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival. Water from Lake Shikotsu, which is one of the clearest in the world, is used to make ice sculptures, ice slides and the skating rink. This is one festival that is guaranteed to entertain people of all ages. In order to fully appreciate your soak in the sulphur onsen (hot spring) at your ryokan for the night, you will need to visit the nearby Noboribetsu Hell Valley, the main source of Noboribetsu’s hot spring waters. From the spectacular sights of the dynamic hot steam vents to the sulphurous streams and thick smell of sulphur permeating the air, there are no prizes for guessing how this valley derived its name!

Day 02
Noboribetsu – Hakodate
(Coach: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Hanabishi Hotel (Hot Spring) or similar
 
Travel down south by taking the scenic drive along the coast facing the Pacific Ocean, you will first arrive at the Onuma Quasi-National Park. Boasting picturesque island-studded lakes, this is one of Japan’s New Three Famous Views, making it an ideal spot to take a break before continuing your journey to Hakodate. Opened in 1859 as one of Japan’s first international trading ports along with Yokohama and Nagasaki, Hakodate boasts of a tapestry of architecture that is as beautiful as it is varied. Take in the history of this charming town as you take a leisurely walk along the sloping streets of Motomachi. Various churches, Chinese temples and old consulate buildings bear testament to the existence of foreign settlers here. As the sun sets, a visit to the Mt Hakodate Ropeway is in store. Awarded the three-star rating in the “Michelin Green Guide Japan”, the ropeway brings you 334 metres above sea level to one of the Three Major Night Views of Japan.

Day 03
Hakodate – Lake Toya
(Coach: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: The Lake View Toya Nonokaze Resort (Hot Spring) or similar
 
For many, the mere mention of Hokkaido invariably conjures up the very image of the freshest seafood caught from the surrounding seas. Over at the Hakodate Morning Market, take in the sights and sounds of a bustling market where ‘fresh’ is the order of the day. Enjoying Hokkaido’s famous soft cream takes on a different feeling here at the Lake Hill Farm this winter. This ice cream shop offers a variety of home-made ice cream that is as wide as they are absolutely oishii. With Mt Yotei as a breathtakingly gorgeous backdrop, there is no better way to relax and enjoy this part of Hokkaido’s scenery with a cone of ice cream that will not melt. Be prepared to be faced with the rather difficult decision of deciding which ice cream flavour to have. Pumpkin, rum and raisin, blue salt, yam, chestnut…the list goes on and on.

Day 04
Lake Toya – Sapporo
(Coach: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Sapporo Tokyu REI Hotel or similar
 
This morning, we will proceed to Fukidashi Park, a spring water source set in a beautiful park where a staggering 80,000 tons of fresh spring water gushes out daily. This spring water originates from snow melt from the top of Mt Yotei, flowing and filtering through the rocks over a period of 50 to 100 years before sprouting out of an outcrop at the base. En route to Sapporo, you will visit the charming town of Otaru. It served as Hokkaido’s major trade and fishing port since the early days of its colonization in the late 1800’s. Beautifully preserved old warehouses and former office buildings of shipping companies give Otaru a unique character. Housed in these historic buildings are music box museums, intricate glassware shops, sweet shops and of course, cafes serving Hokkaido’s ever popular cream puffs.

Day 05
Sapporo
(Coach: Breakfast/-/-)
Hotel: Sapporo Tokyu REI Hotel or similar
 
The Sapporo Snow Festival is the biggest and most well-known winter festival in Japan with over two million visitors flocking to Sapporo every year to watch teams from around the world participate in snow and ice sculpture contests. Over 400 works will be on display, some of which, are 50 feet tall and 85 feet wide, depicting everything from entire historical scenes to famous celebrities and pop icons. In addition to the hundreds of ice and snow sculptures, visitors can also enjoy music concerts, dancing, karaoke, food, and much more.
 
Within walking distance from your hotel is Odori Park, the main site of Sapporo Snow Festival. In addition to a dozen large snow sculptures and more than a hundred smaller snow statues, Odori Park also hosts several events, many of which use the sculptures as their stage. Sapporo TV Tower at the eastern end of Odori Park affords a good view of the park activities from 9:00 to 22:00, with extended hours (8:30 to 22:30) during the festival. If you continue walking south to the Susukino Site, you’ll find exhibits of around one hundred ice sculptures that are lit up daily until 23:00 (until 22:00 on the festival's final day). Another unique feature of the Susukino site is the ice bar where you can get a cup of hot sake to warm yourself from the cold. 

Day 06
Sapporo – Chitose – Haneda
(Coach: Breakfast/-/-)
 
Make full use of your free time before flight departure by visiting Tsudome, one of the three designated sites for Sapporo Snow Festival, to enjoy the event festivities. Tsudome is a family oriented site with huge snow slides, snow rafting, snow sculptures as well as a stage for events.
