Itinerary Details
The colorful carpet of the Garden of Gods: Autumn leaves of Mount Kurodake, Daisetsuzan
Every autumn, the first fiery hues of autumn leaves in all of Japan quietly ignite here. Nestled deep within the Daisetsuzan National Park, Sounkyo is a secret paradise that countless travelers yearn to return to. Ascend slowly to an altitude of 1,300 meters on the Kurodake Ropeway, and the magnificent spectacle of columnar jointed cliffs dyed in a tapestry of gold and red unfolds before your eyes—a breathtaking moment that no photograph can fully capture. Afterwards, stroll to Ginga Falls and Ryusei Falls, where two clear springs cascade down the autumnal cliffs, their harmonious blend of strength and gentleness captivating the eye. Private chartered transportation ensures a seamless experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the most intense and limited-time autumnal wonders of northern Japan.
Autumn Harvest in Northern China: Fruit Picking Experience in Fukagawa
Beyond the autumn foliage, this journey holds a sweet surprise. En route to Sounkyo, a special stop is made in Fukagawa, a renowned fruit-producing region in Hokkaido, where you can visit a local orchard and pick the plumpest seasonal fruits by hand. The crisp sound of biting into an apple, the burst of sweetness on your tongue from grapes, and the taste of freshly picked fruit in the cool autumn breeze—this is a unique experience you can’t find in any supermarket. Picking with children and strolling with elders—this warm harvest memory will become one of the most unforgettable and sweet endings to your Hokkaido trip.

A Chinese-speaking driver arrived on time to pick us up, and we boarded the car with ease. We headed north via the Sunagawa SA rest stop to Fukagawa City, the granary of northern Japan.
Fukagawa Orchard Picking Experience
Step into the orchard and pick the plumpest seasonal fruits yourself—apples and grapes are yours to choose from, freshly picked and enjoyed, with their sweetness certified directly at the orchard. It’s especially suitable for families with children, where laughter will fill the orchard and extend all the way to the car.

Sounkyo & Kurodake Ropeway & Ginga Ryusei Twin Waterfalls
After enjoying a local lunch to replenish your energy, take the Kurodake Ropeway straight up to an altitude of 1,300 meters to overlook the earliest golden-red autumn colors in all of Japan. Walk to Ginga Falls and Ryusei Falls, where the camera shutter simply can’t stop clicking in front of the scene where the cliffs and waterfalls intertwine with the red maple leaves.
