Famed for its deep winter powder and sleek slopes, Hokkaido is shedding its snow-season reputation and emerging as one of Asia’s most enchanting summer destinations. With crisp mountain air, scenic landscapes, and immersive outdoor experiences, Japan’s northernmost island is a summer escape that balances luxury with laid-back charm. And now, with The Luxe Nomad’s curated “coolcation” offerings, there's never been a better time to visit.
A Breath of Fresh Air: Hokkaido’s Summer Playground
Far from the bustling cityscapes of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, Hokkaido is a refreshing retreat into wide-open spaces and natural beauty. During the warmer months, the region’s verdant mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and cascading waterfalls create a setting made for outdoor exploration. Kayaking across serene lakes, river rafting through forested valleys, and stand-up paddleboarding are just the beginning.
For land-based adventures, there’s hiking up Mount Yotei — Hokkaido’s answer to Mt. Fuji — or scenic cycling trails and forest walks that invite a slower pace. And for a road trip with cinematic charm, follow the scenic route from Furano to Biei, with stops at the ethereal Blue Pond and Shirahige Waterfalls.
A Culinary Journey from Farm to Table
Hokkaido’s summer bounty makes it a culinary wonderland. As Japan’s breadbasket, the island serves up a harvest rich in both flavour and tradition. From ocean-fresh sea urchin and scallops to grilled lamb known as jingisukan and rich, spicy soup curry, the region’s cuisine tells the story of the land.
Local markets brim with vibrant produce — sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and the sought-after Yubari King Melon. As the nation’s top dairy region, Hokkaido is also known for its fresh cheese and soft-serve ice cream, perfect for warm afternoons. Food lovers can sip their way through local vineyards like Château Furano and Niseko Winery, where the cooler climate produces elegant wines full of character.
