Hiking Trails in Hokkaido
6 trails in this region
Hokkaido offers Japan's wildest and most expansive hiking terrain. The Daisetsuzan National Park, Japan's largest, features volcanic peaks, steaming fumaroles, and alpine flower fields that explode with color in July. Brown bears roam the backcountry, adding genuine wilderness to every trek. Winter transforms trails into snowshoe routes through birch forests, while autumn paints the mountains in Japan's earliest fall colors.

Before adding this hike
- Start with trailhead access, weather backup, and post-hike lodging before choosing a regional hiking route.
- Coastal walks, low mountains, alpine routes, and plateaus in the same region can require very different gear.
- If this region has fewer listings, compare type pages to avoid forcing a thin itinerary.
