Food

Having a main meal of the day in a bar or restaurant is an absolute must-do in Japan, as culinary experiences are one of the most important parts of the trip! You will easily find places offering a whole range of prices, so even if you are travelling on a budget, no worries! If there are vegans in your crew, ordering plant-based food might be a problem, but with the use of Google Translate you will find a way to communicate with the waiters.

On our trip we had two vegans and they did not die of hunger, although it is worth knowing that vegan dishes are still not very common in Hokkaido. The most common option is a miso paste based ramen (instead of pork based), which is absolutely fantastic and will get you plenty of energy to ski!
