Hokkaido Travel Safety Guide — Japan

Safety Score: 9.5/10 · Value: 7/10 · Beauty: 8.9/10

Japan's northern island is the antidote to its crowded cities, powder snow in winter, lavender fields and cool air in summer, and seafood worth the trip on its own. Sapporo anchors it, but the appeal is the open space, the onsen, and the drives between them. Very safe; the main thing to plan around is the season and a rental car.
