Indulge in the magic of Hokkaido with its snowy landscapes and a taste of sweetness – don’t miss the iconic Shiroi Koibito delight!
Hokkaido has always been a popular travel destination that ranks consistently high not only amongst foreigners, but also for local Japanese visitors.
Hokkaido is famous for being a snowy destination, but what is even more popular than the snow is the local Hokkaido cuisine. Many tourists visit Hokkaido not only in winter but also in all seasons to taste various specialties made from the delicious locally-sourced ingredients such as seafood, agricultural products, and dairy products against the backdrop of the region’s magnificent nature.
The season of love is upon us, and what better way to celebrate it than by visiting the Izu Peninsula. The picturesque destination is renowned for its romantic ambiance, rejuvenating hot springs, and breathtaking coastlines. A haven for couples and honeymooners, Izu offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, featuring charming onsen towns and world-famous attractions like the Kawazuzakura cherry blossoms in February and the sunset-perfect Jogasaki Coast.
But romance isn’t the only highlight—Izu is a paradise for foodies, too! Thanks to its volcanic soil and pristine waters, the region is ideal for cultivating high-quality wasabi, where one can enjoy unique treats like wasabi crackers, wasabi-flavoured soft serve, and even wasabi soba. Stay tuned this February 2025 as we take you on a romantic Valentine’s journey to Izu, filled with the flavours of love!
