How about a trip to Japan Hokkaido

Hokkaido is very different to the rest of Japan. Not only is it the most northerly region and therefore has a far more European climate, but it is much less densely populated and rather than rugged, lush, forested mountains elsewhere, these are more like large rolling hills.
Hokkaido is famous for its winters which are some of the snowiest on earth and unsurprisingly, there are some fairly small, but exceptionally well catered-for ski resorts as a result, including night skiing! The pow(der) here is arguably the finest in the world and for any winter sports enthusiast, skiing / boarding in northern Japan is quite simply sensational!
Away from the slopes, Hokkaido’s main cities are Sapporo and Hakodate, with the former the largest on the island by far and worth a few days in its own right to see one of the least Japanese cities in Japan, but a really nice one nonetheless. Come in winter and the snow festival is a must, come in spring and the entire region is festooned with multi-coloured plants and flowers in spectacular arrangements in the fields all over the island, while summer is the time the Japanese come to Sapporo, to enjoy the food, fresh air, lush and beautiful gardens and relative cool.
So if you’re after somewhere exotic, that looks a little European, but with the unmistakable feel of Japan, then Hokkaido really should be on your list!
