IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. We are currently unable to offer a single supplement, airport transfers or additional accommodation in Japan due to limited availability.
2. It is essential that you pack light and compact for rail travel in Japan. Luggage size restrictions apply. Please review the Packing section of the Essential Trip Information for more details.
3. Itinerary change for departures on 09&13 April, 2025: You’ll stay in a hotel in Chitose city rather than a ryokan hotel near lake Shikotsu, and the Kaiseki dinner will be included on Day 5 rather than Day 6. Chitose city is on the way between Lake Shikotsu and Asahikawa, so your overall travel time won’t be impacted.
