OVERVIEW

Autumn is one of the most comfortable seasons in Hokkaido. Not too hot and not too cold, with a pleasant breeze and fiery autumn leaves vibrantly coloring the fields and forests.
September is the month of cosmos and coral grass, a sight limited to this season alone! It’s also harvest season, which means you can eat many delicious fruits and vegetables. Visit the farms to help in the fields and collect the food yourself! Relax by the views of beautiful lakes, a sea of clouds, and even a sea of sunflowers! One of the best ways to enjoy Hokkaido’s nature is on a horse, a great activity for all ages.
This program invites you to experience the beauty of rural Hokkaido, where the true treasures of the island are waiting to be found.
