HOKKAIDO PLUS
Orientation
Hemmed in by the Hidaka Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, this sun-kissed region is Japan’s top racehorse breeding ground with countless stables. The scenic coastal byway runs between Tomakomai and Tokachi, via windy cape of Erimo-misaki. Apoi-dake is a lovely alpine mountain in the Unesco Global Geopark.
The region’s main river Saru-gawa winds for Nibutani, one of Hokkaido’s most cultural Ainu villages. Inland mountain town Hidaka makes a pleasant stopover point to Northern Hokkaido.
