1. Daisetsuzan National Park
The volcanoes within Daisetsuzan National Park are more than challenges to climbers; they feed the hot springs that soothe those climbers’ aching muscles at the end of the day. Larger than many of Japan’s prefectures, the park also has some of Japan’s tallest peaks, including the “roof of Hokkaido,” Asahi-dake, which shoots up 7,510 feet (2,291 meters). Attempt to explore its 875 square miles (2,270 square kilometers) or admire the peaks from a distance as you relax with the simple luxuries of a stay at an onsen resort.

The beauty changes naturally through the year, with the peak season for color from late April to late October. In winter the area becomes a popular spot for snow rafting, tubing and snowmobiling.
