Gaming and travel come together in a groundbreaking collaboration as Klook, Asia’s leading travel platform, and PlayStation launch the Ghost of Yōtei Hokkaido Tour. The curated experience, available ahead of the game’s release on PlayStation 5 this 2 October, invites fans to step directly into the landscapes that inspired Ghost of Yōtei’s 1600s rural Japan setting.
From Screen to Reality
The tour reimagines Hokkaido as a living backdrop to the much-anticipated game, allowing players to connect with the same scenery that shaped the developers’ vision. For gamers, it’s a chance to walk through iconic locations from the game world; for travelers, it’s an opportunity to discover Hokkaido’s unique culture and natural beauty.
With Klook’s Travel Pulse survey revealing that 79% of millennials and Gen Z travelers are inspired by social media and now increasingly by games, this collaboration bridges the gap between virtual worlds and real-world adventures.
A Journey Through Ghost of Yōtei’s Inspirations
Highlights of the tour include:
- Mount Yōtei – Hokkaido’s iconic “Female Mountain” and the game’s namesake, ever-present on the horizon as a guiding marker.
- Noboribetsu Date Jidai Mura – An Edo-period village that influenced the game’s architecture, complete with cultural activities like archery, shuriken tossing, and samurai dress-up.
- Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley) – Volcanic cliffs steeped in oni folklore, inspiring the game’s misty fortresses and darker mythos.
- Lake Tōya & Onsen Street – The lakeside hot springs that mirror the game’s serene rest points, framed by Mount Yōtei in the distance.
Travel Meets Fandom
“Hokkaido has seen a 25% surge in demand for off-the-beaten-path adventures, and this tour perfectly captures that spirit,” said Marcus Yong, Vice President of Global Marketing at Klook. “With PlayStation, we’ve designed an experience where fans can go from console to countryside, living the Ghost of Yōtei story while exploring Japan’s northern gem.”
To amplify discovery, Klook will leverage its Kreator network of travel and gaming influencers across Asia, sparking authentic storytelling that inspires fans to explore beyond the screen.
