This is our gay travel guide to Hokkaido in North Japan, famous for its rugged landscapes, delicious seafood, and relaxing onsen. We also include the finest gay-friendly places to stay, what to do, and where to play.

Day 1: Soaking in Sapporo’s Magic
I checked into the Sapporo Susukino Granbell Hotel, which is more than just a place to crash—it’s a slice of heaven. This gem sits right in the heart of Susukino, one of Japan’s top entertainment districts. And let’s talk about that onsen on the 17th floor. Picture this: me, in nothing but bliss, soaking under the stars while the city lights shimmer below. Can you experience the drama? Even the bath amenities are luxurious, with products by Stephen Knoll—giving me salon realness as I bathed in high-class vibes.
