Hokkaido, Japan

Geography & Climate

  • Japan consists of four main islands and hundreds small islands. It is mostly mountainous and many peaks are of volcanic origin or active volcanoes.
  • The summer months are hot and humid, but the fall and the spring are cooler and drier. Winds from Sibiria provide arctic temperatures during the winter.
  • Typhoons are a constant threat during the summer months.

Activities


    • Japan’s most famous back country skiing lie in Hokkaido and in the Japanese Alps (Honshu) around Hakuba.
    • Hokkaido is mostly covered by forests, Hakuba offers more alpine ski touring.
    • Volcanoes like Mt. Yotei or Mt. Fuji are very exposed to winds.


    • Trekking is a national sport in Japan. Equipment and infrastructure in National Parks prove it.
    • The Japanese Alps, Hokkaido and Kyushu are the best places for trekking. Mt. Fuji is maybe the most popular hiking spot in Japan, and so the busiest (in summer).


    • Sea Kayaking along the coast is another great activity to learn more about Japan’s nature and diversity.
