THE DETAILS
This is a trip no one else offers. If you want the legendary snow of Hokkaido as well as the steeps of Honshu, this is your trip. Being on the road is the best option if you want to visit both islands with a limited amount of time.
Start your journey on Hokkaido or Honshu; it's up to you. Your ports of call in Hokkaido are either Otaru or Tomakomai, both conveniently located so you can explore all of the mainstays. You will sail to or from the city of Niigata which is centrally located on the west coast of Honshu. From Niigata you are free to explore the mountains of northern or southern Japan. With a one way rental, you can return your vehicle in Sapporo or Tokyo and avoid a lengthy round trip.
Due to travel times between Hokkaido and Honshu we recommend at least 14 days, or if you have time, 3-4 weeks.

FAQ
What exactly is KindCraft?
What is your mission?
Our mission is to create a community of compassionate children through engagement and involvement in humanitarian service projects related to aiding, clothing and feeding those in need.
What age group is KindCraft geared towards?
Families with children of all ages–however, everyone is welcome!
What is the difference between KindCraft events & other service opportunties?
When we started KindCraft, our goal was to have a monthly service event for families. Recently, we have had a lot of requests for our group to help at other events in the community as well. We want to provide as many service opportunities as possible for our members, so we created 2 different categories to help people understand what are our events and what are other events we are supporting. KindCraft events are the once a month events that we put on and run & the other service opportunities are events that we are supporting but not organizing or running.
Is there a member fee?
There is not a member fee. We do require volunteers to become a member of our website but there is no fee required.
How can I get involved?
Register for events, donate to the cause, get some Kindness Cards & complete random acts of kindness with your family, invite your friends & spread the word!
How do I sign up for events?
There are two ways to sign up for events. The first way is to click on the RSVP button on the hompage section of "Upcoming Events." Then follow the on screen prompts. The second way is to visit the Get Involved Page and click on "Sign Up". Then follow the on screen prompts.
What are Kindness Cards and where can I get them?
Can I donate?
Do we have to own a KindCraft shirt to participate?
No. The kids love having them but they are not a requirement.
Where did the idea for KindCraft come from?
We were looking for service opportunities for families with kids of all ages and found it was more difficult then we hoped. Our goal, through KindCraft, was to provide an easy way for families to participate in monthly service projects. See our full story here.
How can I sponsor an event?
How can I host a KindCraft event at my location?

This is a great option if you would like to get your coworkers, church members, or school involved in an event. Contact Courtney Smith to discuss logistics!
