Summary

The Hokkaido Tourism Organization announced on November 10, 2025 the schedule of results briefings for its FY2025 Rehabilitation and Respite Care Tourism Promotion Program. The program held training sessions in four regions and monitor tours in two, with reporting sessions held across Hokkaido and a symposium in Sapporo delivered in partnership with the Japan Health Tourism Society.
What happened
During FY2025, training sessions took place in Akan, Obihiro, Noboribetsu and Furano, and monitor tours were held in Obihiro and Noboribetsu. To share the outcomes, the organization scheduled community-level reporting sessions in each area and a combined research symposium in Sapporo. Registration for participation was open at the time of announcement.
Why it matters
Hokkaido has been developing rehabilitation and respite care tourism as a distinctive addition to its wellness portfolio, targeting travellers who need supportive environments and slower travel formats. The community-level design of the program aligns tourism with local health-care infrastructure, making it more accessible for older visitors and those with care needs.
