Travelution Specialist Insight:

“While summer in Hokkaido is beautifully sunny and fresh during the day (usually averaging a comfortable 22°C to 25°C), the alpine temperature can drop rapidly once the sun goes down behind the mountains. We highly recommend packing a light windbreaker or fleece jacket for evening strolls, alongside sturdy trail shoes or hiking boots so you can safely conquer the mountain bike and trekking paths!”

Travelution Specialist Insight:

“Onsen Etiquette Tip: Experiencing Kiroro’s Rotenburo (outdoor hot spring) is an absolute must-do, but remember that traditional Japanese bathhouse rules apply. The onsen areas are strictly separated by gender, and swimwear or clothing of any kind is entirely prohibited. Make sure to thoroughly wash and rinse at the sit-down shower stations before stepping into the hot spring water, and always keep your small modesty towel out of the pool!”
