Japan · Wildlife tour

Hokkaido is the wild edge of Japan: volcanoes, lakes, forest that runs to the sea and animals you will not see further south.
You drive yourself, which is easy here, with roads that are quiet and well signed, and stay in a mix of small hotels and onsen inns. Our team plans the route, the stops and the wildlife timings around what you most want to see.

Japan runs the length of several climate zones. Spring and autumn are the pick almost everywhere, with warm days and low rainfall. June brings the rainy season to most of the country, and July and August are hot and humid in the cities. Winter is cold and snowy in the north but crisp and clear in Tokyo and Kyoto.
