Hokkaido in Summer

Hokkaido is Japan’s second largest island, yet a mere five percent of the population lives here. Over seventy percent of the island is covered by forest, and wildlife is ubiquitous, both in and out of the enormous national parks, where you ‘ll also find active volcanoes and bubbling onsen. With six maijor national parks to explore, nature lovers and outdoor addicts are spoiled for choice.

With the population of nearly two million, Hokkaido’s vibrant and booming capital Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan. Sapporo is known for its beer, which has been brewed here since 1891.
