The unique experience of Hokkaido.

MAOIQ stands in the middle of a forest like a bird’s nest, where people can rest their wings and relax. It is a symbol inviting you to return to again and again. The symbol is in the shape of a ‘Q’ formed by a collection of trees, representing unity between MAOIQ and the surrounding nature.
