- Itinerary Introduction -

・Jozankei Hoheikyo Fall Foliage Tour - Eco-Friendly Electric Bus ※Expected Fall Foliage Season: Late September to Mid-Late October

Located approximately 7 kilometers upstream from Jozankei Onsen along the Toyohira River, this arched dam is designated by the Forestry Agency as one of "100 Best Water Source Forests" and "100 Best Dam Lakes." Surrounded by virgin forest and a columnar-jointed valley, the scenery changes throughout the year, and autumn is a popular spot for viewing the autumn leaves. Take an eco-friendly electric bus to the dam, where you can enjoy the scenic views of the lake and the valley from the pedestrian walkway.

★The maple leaf season may vary slightly depending on factors such as weather conditions each year. If weather conditions cause the leaves to wither or not bloom, we will continue with our original itinerary to visit the purely scenic spots. Thank you for your understanding.

※If the eco-friendly electric bus is not operating regularly, the bus will not go to Hoheikyo Dam. Instead, it will go to Jozankei Futami Park and Futami Suspension Bridge to enjoy the spectacular autumn leaves in the valley.

・Yoichi NITORI Orchard (Plan A only)

Yamamoto Orchard, a tourist orchard with a 143-year history, grows fresh fruits such as cherries, strawberries, pears, grapes, blueberries, peaches, apples, and chestnuts across its 15-17 hectares. These fruits are in season from June to November. Enjoy unlimited fruit tasting, allowing you to enjoy a variety of fruits at once. Enjoy a satisfying meal at Yamamoto Orchard.

※The types of fruit you pick will depend on the season and weather conditions. Please note that the types of fruit you can pick will depend on the variety available at the orchard.

※If Yoichi NITORI Tourist Orchard is closed or there is insufficient fruit to provide fruit picking, fruit picking will be provided at other nearby tourist orchards.

・Tanaka Brewery Kamekozura sake tasting (Plan B only)

Tanaka Shuzo Kamekozura, a sake brewery in Otaru, was established in 1899. Using 100% Hokkaido rice and underground water from the meltwater of Mount Tengu, Tanaka Shuzo's sake brewery is a rare brewery in Japan that operates year-round. Its historic stone warehouse has been designated a "Historic Building" in Otaru City. Due to its limited production, its sake is only produced and sold in the Otaru area. Visitors can observe the sake-making process and enjoy sake tastings.

※If Tanaka Sake Brewery Kamekozura is temporarily closed or the reservation is full and we are unable to go, we will extend our stay at Hoheikyo and Otaru Canal instead.

・Otaru Canal

Each of the historic buildings and old warehouses along the Otaru Canal allows you to experience the prosperity and charm of the old days. You'll also have the opportunity to admire the Otaru Canal at sunset, creating a breathtaking evening scene that will evoke a rich sense of exotic charm.
