Journey Across Japan

Hokkaido is home to Japan's most luxurious and rarest steam train, the winter express. Only in operation several weeks of the year, we bag ourselves tickets as we continue our journey across Japan. 

Japan's coldest town is in an isolated mountain range in central Hokkaido. We venture to the frozen Lake Akan in search of the town, explore an Ainu village and witness an epic rap battle in the snow. 

As we reach Japan's most northern point we explore Abashiri prison and hear how one man escaped it, ride an incredible ice breaker ship and go fishing for lunch.
