Accessing Hokkaido from North America Gets Easier with New Direct Flights.
SAPPORO, Japan - illiNews -- Hokkaido is one of Japan's most sought-after travel destinations, and getting there is becoming easier than ever with the launch of new nonstop flights from North America. In October, visitors can experience one of the island's most spectacular seasonal displays at Uni Garden near Sapporo, where thousands of kochia shrubs transform into a brilliant crimson landscape. For a convenient stay, the Fairfield by Marriott Sapporo offers an ideal location just steps from Susukino, one of Japan's three premier entertainment districts.
Located at Japan's northernmost tip, Hokkaido accounts for more than 20 percent of the country's total land area. Renowned for its expansive natural scenery, exceptional cuisine, soothing hot springs, and world-famous powder snow, the island offers unforgettable experiences in every season. This winter, travel from North America will become even more convenient with United Airlines launching nonstop service from San Francisco to Sapporo and Air Canada introducing direct flights from Vancouver to Sapporo.
Hokkaido's vast landscapes reveal a different character with each season and in every region. From summer through autumn, the island's cool, comfortable climate provides ideal conditions for vibrant flower displays, attracting travelers in search of breathtaking scenery and memorable photographs. One of the region's highlights is Yuni Garden, located approximately 50 minutes from downtown Sapporo and just 35 minutes from New Chitose Airport. The garden showcases beautiful seasonal blooms throughout spring, summer, and fall, but its most celebrated attraction arrives in October, when approximately 32,000 kochia plants reach their peak. As the shrubs turn a vivid crimson, they create a dramatic sea of red stretching across the landscape—a truly unforgettable sight. The Kochia Festival will be held from October 1 to November 3, 2026.
