This winter, let VELTRA help you create a beautiful and memorable holiday in Japan's ultimate Snow Country. Snow much fun!
Japan's fine powder snow is world-famous among winter sports athletes and enthusiasts alike. The cold winds from Siberia lend to an exceptionally-thick carpeting of delightfully fluffy and fine powder snow across Hokkaido, making it a veritable paradise for skiers and snowboarders and a mecca of sorts for those who simply love the snow. The island's exceptional terrain means that there is a combination of gentle slopes which are great for beginners, as well as more extreme slopes for advanced-level skiers and those who crave the adrenaline rush. Whether it's snowboarding or skiing or just plain frolicking and romping in the snow, VELTRA has a variety of tours and activities for you to choose from. Let us take you on an unforgettable journey to northernmost Japan.
Make all of your snow princess dreams come true. Visit Hokkaido in the winter and step into a Narnia-like frozen wonderland. Hop on an icebreaker cruise on the Sea of Okhotsk in Abashiri and eat scrumptious fresh seafood, watch the adorable march of the penguins at Asahiyama Zoo and get even more fairytale feels at light-up snow and ice festivals in Sapporo and Otaru. Get your outfits and camera ready for the spectacular backdrop of Hokkaido's wintry grand views.
Choose from a variety of unique experiences you can only enjoy in snow-laden and frozen playgrounds like Hokkaido.
