Travel Guide > Asia > Japan > Hokkaido
Hokkaido is Japan's second largest and northernmost island. It is known for its dramatic peaks, gorges and lakes.
Due to being far north and lots of snow Hokkaido has some of the best skiing in Japan. This means if your planning a ski vacation to Japan a stop in at one of Hokkaido's ski resorts is a must.
New Chitose Airport (CTS) is the main gateway arriving by plane. Most major Japanese cities are served, as well as international destinations like Seoul, Hong Kong, Busan, Taipei, Guam, Beijing and Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
Honshu can be reached by train from both Hokkaido and Kyushu. There are many connections from cities like Sapporo and Fukuoka to cities on Honshu, including Kobe, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo. Check the Japan Rail website for more details about schedules and prices.
There are numerous trains operating on Honshu and the main gateways include Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto. Check the Japan Rail website for more information about lines, schedules and prices.
