Sapporo: Hokkaido Snowy Wilderness Day Tour

Explore Hokkaido's snowy wilderness on a day tour from Sapporo. Visit the Tokachi Millennium Forest, see drift ice along the Sea of Okhotsk.
08:00 - 11:00 Sapporo → Tokachi Millennium Forest
Address: Hokkaido Kamikawa-gun Shimizu-cho Ubatane Minami 10-sen
Depart Sapporo and travel approximately 3 hours to reach "Tokachi Millennium Forest" – a snow-covered forest sanctuary where nature and art harmonize. Dozens of modern sculptures, both abstract and realistic, dot the vast snowfield, their unique presence amplified by the surrounding white. Wander through, with soft snow underfoot and the whisper of wind in your ears; the serene blend of sculptures and forest feels like stepping into an open-air museum, where every photo captures the "walking in a painting" vibe.

11:00 - 12:00 Lunch Break
Enjoy a local lunch at a restaurant in Shimizu-cho or a nearby farm. Try fresh Tokachi-grown vegetables, desserts made with Hokkaido milk, or warming Japanese hot pot – fuel up with hearty food to beat the winter chill and prepare for the afternoon.

12:00 - 15:30 Tokachi → Nemuro Peninsula Drift Ice
Address: Hokkaido Nemuro-gun Betsukai-cho
Head to the winter-exclusive natural wonder: Nemuro Peninsula. A key spot for drift ice flowing south from the Sea of Okhotsk, its winter seas are dotted with crystal-clear drift ice – like scattered diamonds – merging with endless shoreline snowfields to form a vast "sea-meets-snow" panorama. Stroll along the viewing trails to admire the drift ice’s gentle movement; with luck, spot seabirds gliding over the ice – a photographer’s paradise. Stand between snowfield and ice sea, and feel the awe of boundless nature, experiencing Hokkaido’s purest winter power.

15:30 - 18:00 Return to Sapporo
