Hokkaido in winter, direct from Manila on Philippine Airlines, which is the main reason to take this one over the connecting versions. PR406 leaves at 6:35 in the morning and lands at New Chitose at 12:30, so you are sightseeing on Day 1 rather than losing it to a transfer in Tokyo.
You get the canal at Otaru with the gas lamps along it, the glassworks and the music box museum, the steam vents at Noboribetsu Hell Valley, the bear park at Showa Shinzan, and a night at a lakeside onsen hotel on Lake Toya with the buffet dinner that goes with it. Day 4 takes you up to Niseko, which is the ski resort people actually mean when they say they are going skiing in Japan.
Checked baggage is included here, two pieces at 23kg plus 7kg hand carry, which is not true of the cheaper Japan tours. Three of the five departures sit at ₱110,435 or below.
Five departures, four prices. The cheapest are 30 November 2026 and 20 February 2027 at ₱110,435 per person, which is USD 1,699. New Year is the dearest at ₱129,935, or USD 1,999.

Yes. Two pieces at 23kg plus 7kg hand carry are all in the fare. That is worth noting, because the Osaka and Nagoya tours include hand carry only.
Yes. Philippine passport holders need a Japanese visa and this tour does not include it. You apply through an accredited travel agency, not directly at the embassy, and the fee and paperwork are yours. Start early, because processing takes weeks and approval is never guaranteed.
Only at your own cost, and the group does not wait a full day for it. Day 4 includes the visit to Niseko. The cable car ticket, ski and board hire, lessons and lunch up the mountain are all excluded. If skiing is the point of your trip, tell us and we will look at a different package.
Because it is not open yet. JSC has flagged that for departures between 28 November and 2 December 2026, which covers the 30 November date, Alpen Snowland Bibai is closed and the stop becomes the ROYCE chocolate factory instead. Everything else on that day is unchanged.
You stay one night at the Toyako Manseikaku Lakeside Terrace on Lake Toya, in a 27 square metre room, and dinner that night is the hotel buffet. The baths are communal and traditional, which means no swimwear and separate areas for men and women. Bring nothing, the hotel provides what you need.
Four hotel breakfasts, three lunches and two dinners, one of them the onsen buffet. You pay for dinner on nights one, four and five, and for lunch on Day 4 and Day 5.
A child from 2 to 6 years old without their own bed is USD 100 less than the adult on every departure, about ₱6,500 off. From 6 years old Japanese rules require their own bed and they pay the adult rate. Tell us the ages when you book.
Yes, for a single supplement of ₱26,000, which is USD 400. Without it you are in a twin room with another traveller. Triple rooms are limited, and where one is not available we put two of you in a twin and one in a single, with the single supplement applying to that person.
