Springtime, especially around Golden Week, unveils a symphony of cherry blossoms, while June's fair skies beckon explorers to Shiretoko National Park. Summer on Hokkaido is pure magic with long sunny days contrasting cool nights, and Furano and Biei springing to life with vibrant blooms.

Autumn transforms Hokkaido into a tapestry of fall foliage perfect for outdoor activities, whereas winter, from December to February, lays out a snowy wonderland for skiing, snowboarding and unique experiences like ice fishing. March, being quieter, is ideal for enjoying milder winter activities and attending outdoor festivals. Adventure Hokkaido brings a wealth of outdoor tours and activities to explore the island irrespective of the season. For a traveller with discerning tastes, Hokkaido's charms are year-round.
