Hokkaido Scenic Drive

Hokkaido Scenic Drive is the epitome of freedom on four wheels in Japan's northernmost island. Here, driving on country roads takes you through rolling fields, dense forests, and along dramatic coastlines with views of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, you can stop at natural hot springs (onsen), where steam rises amidst the raw nature, and you can fully relax. The route also offers unforgettable visits to crystal-clear lakes like Lake Toya and Lake Akan, surrounded by volcanic landscapes and forested mountains. Hokkaido is less populated than the rest of Japan, providing a rare sense of space, tranquility, and closeness to nature—perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and immersion.
