2026 Mori Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

Looking for a serene getaway surrounded by snowy landscapes? Greenpia Onuma in Hokkaido is your perfect choice! Nestled beside a ski resort with breathtaking views, you can even catch a glimpse of Mount Komagatake. Especially during the snow season, the scenery is absolutely stunning. The hotel offers a variety of room types, including Japanese-style, Western-style, capsule rooms, and camping tents, catering to all kinds of travelers. The facilities are comprehensive: the first floor features an onsen, a manga room, and a bowling alley, while the second floor boasts a grand lobby and a restaurant. Clear signage by the elevator buttons ensures you won't get lost. [Convenient Shuttle Service] The hotel provides a mid-sized bus shuttle service. We took the night shuttle to Hakodate, reaching the ropeway station in just 40 minutes to enjoy the million-dollar night view, and then returned to the hotel effortlessly. It's both time-saving and convenient. [Onsen Experience] The bicarbonate spring is open for extended hours. I visited around 10 PM, and it was pleasantly uncrowded, allowing me to enjoy the entire onsen area in peace. The onsen features both indoor and outdoor sections, with all the necessary amenities, including sakura horse oil lotion for your use. [Room Experience] We stayed in a Japanese-style room. The carpeted hallway was quiet and comfortable. The room's entrance was spacious, providing ample space for luggage. The toilet and bathroom were separate, ensuring no interference, and the bath amenities were surprisingly high-quality. The room was furnished with light green tatami mats, and the futon was already laid out. The thick mattress was more comfortable than a spring bed, and the lightweight down duvet kept me warm throughout the night, even though the room was slightly cool. The view outside the window, veiled by sheer white curtains, offered a different charm during the day and night.

Komagatake was in the beautiful autumn foliage season.

The early bird catches the McGriddle After checking out, we drove for about an hour and arrived at the Noboribetsu Sakuragi Tunnel at 0955. The cherry trees were already very withered. The weather was very good and I suddenly wanted to visit Jigokudani. The sky was cloudless and I felt particularly refreshed. At 1100, we took a short break at "Usuyama SA". There was a large group of middle school students resting here, sitting on the grass, looking at (from left to right) Usuyama, Showa Shinzan, Toyako Nakajima, and Mt. Yotei. What a carefree life. It takes 40 minutes by car to reach Uju Zenkoji Temple. The cherry blossoms in the temple are in full bloom. Many Japanese people come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms. We arrived at Aoba-gaoka Park in Mori-machi at around 13:30 along the toll road. There were dense cherry blossoms, mainly Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, the cherry blossom season had passed, otherwise the snow-white cherry blossoms would have been stunning. The Sakura Festival also has performances and street markets, so there must be a constant stream of tourists. We were a bit rushed for the cherry blossom viewing in Hakodate this time, and wanted to skip some of our original itinerary, but luckily we did not miss "Michi-no-Eki YOU・遊・もり", which is less than a 5-minute drive away. The very large Michi-no-Eki Park is planted with many Somei Yoshino cherry trees, Oshima cherry trees, Horii Hizakura trees, and Yae red weeping cherry trees. With the breeze, the legendary scene of cherry blossoms blowing in the snow is hard to erase from our minds. From the observation deck, we can also see the scene of Hokkaido Komagatake and cherry blossoms in the same frame. This is a place in southern Hokkaido that cannot be missed for cherry blossom viewing. After driving for more than two hours, we arrived at Matsumae Castle, one of the top 100 famous castles in Japan at 1615. This is the northernmost castle tower in Japan and the only feudal castle in Hokkaido. It is of great significance. Although it was rebuilt after the disaster, you can still experience the grand occasion of the year. It is also a place to enjoy cherry blossoms. Combined with the tranquility of Matsumae Castle, the cherry blossoms are particularly beautiful. On the way back, the sun set. We went to the nearby Shirakami Cape, the southernmost observation square in Hokkaido, and looked out at the Tsugaru Peninsula on the other side. It was very peaceful and comfortable to listen to the sound of the waves and watch the sunset. However, we had to return to Hakodate before sunset, so we chose a charcoal grill restaurant for dinner. "Charcoal-grilled meat, Izumi-tei", high cost performance, good quality meat, ordered a stone pot scallop crab meat pot rice, and two plates of Matsusaka beef (a total of more than 3,000 yen) Accommodation: "Yunokawa Ferry Hotel"

#Sapporo Attractions Komagatake is a stunning mountain range with natural scenery that makes you feel like you are in Wonderland.

I stopped at Mori Station on the way from Sapporo to Hakodate by train. This station is a junction where the railway lines split into right- and left-handed directions with Mt. Komagatake at the center. The reason I stopped at this station is because it is actually very close to the sea, and if the weather is good, it is a nice photo spot where you can see Mt. Komagatake clearly. Taking a photo with the beautiful sea in the background creates a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere. Also, taking a photo with Mt. Komagatake in the background is a railway photo at the end of the line. There is a famous squid rice restaurant in front of the station, so if you stop by on the way, you can have a surprisingly good time. #DomesticTravel #HokkaidoTrip #HokkaidoTourism #MoriStation #JourneyWithStoppingOffTheRound

Morimachi, a town near Hakodate, Hokkaido Morimachi is famous for squid rice and is a port town facing the sea. It is about an hour's drive from Hakodate, and I visited for lunch during a trip to Hakodate. Sushi Ooneda 174-11 Honmachi, Morimachi, Kayabe-gun, Hokkaido #gw2022jp #HokkaidoTrip
