Flowers, Beer & More: Hokkaido Summer Driving Itinerary (+ Bonus 6-Day Plan)
Hokkaido's northern location brings a refreshing and pleasant climate, even during the hottest summer months. People from other parts of Japan flock to Hokkaido during this season to escape the scorching heat, while local residents take full advantage of the relatively short summer to engage in exciting outdoor activities such as camping and rafting. During this time, Hokkaido's valleys, rivers, and famous flower meadows come alive with vibrant colors, offering a strikingly different experience from the winter wonderland it is commonly associated with. We have enlisted the help of Ching Yu, a Sapporo resident with over 10 years of experience, to recommend an unforgettable six-day self-drive tour for the summer, complete with camping, picnics, rafting, flower viewing, festivals, and everything that makes Hokkaido special. You'll soon realize that discovering fascinating sights, delicious food, and exciting adventures in this charming prefecture during the summer is easier than you might think!
