Rise to the Top of My Hakodate

A Few gems to discover in this commercial district include the famous Lucky Pierrot burger that is exclusive to Hakodate, the creamy cheesecakes, and a costume shop where you can pick your favorite kimono to rent.

Tour of Gorokyaku and Motomachi

We will start the half-day tour with a historic walk to Gorokyaku Fortress. Once a formidable stronghold in the Edo period, this massive star-shaped compound was turned into a public park after its abandonment in 1910. The scenery is incredibly dramatic in winter with snow covering most of the grounds, and the best way to view it is from the 107-meters tall tower adjacent to it. We will also follow the European trade route to Motomachi, a district that has become foreigners’ haven since Japan ended the isolation era in 1854. Among the famous landmarks are the Russian Orthodox Church, The old British Consulate, and many other European-style houses.

Ski, Relax and Rejuvenate

It is time to put on your ski gears, and off we go to the powdery slopes of Niseko. Attracting thousands of skiers from around the world every year, Niseko offers some of the most consistent snow throughout the entire winter – not only in terms of quality but also quantity. Throughout your three nights stay, the hot spring addiction will also slowly set in and trigger your subconscious mind to look for another round of onsen after each action-packed day. Every night, your chef will make sure your palate is satisfied with changing kaiseki cuisine.

Visit a historic Whisky Distillery

When we talk about Japanese signature beverages, most of us would recognize sake, and only a few experts would mention whiskey. Japanese whiskey may have a shorter history but has recently received a burst of popularity from the worldwide market; consumers now even have to make extra effort to get a bottle as demand continues to outstrip supply. Today we will visit Yoichi distillery that produced leading brand NIKKA Whiskey and go behind the scene to uncover the secret techniques that were brought by Masataka Taketsuru from Scotland in 1924.
