Has anyone done Hokkaido for their first trip to Japan? I’m thinking of visiting Sapporo and other spots in Hokkaido instead of the usual tourist areas like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
If you’ve done this, how was it? Did you miss out on the classic Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto itinerary, or was Hokkaido totally worth it?
What made you pick Hokkaido over the more popular places?
Hokkaido is a favorite location for skiing and snowboarding because of its legendary powder snow. Another popular attraction in February is the Sapporo Snow Festival.

Hokkaido provides a more relaxed and less congested experience than Tokyo and Osaka, enabling you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty and local culture.
The capital city of Sapporo offers a variety of both natural and urban attractions.
