7 day itinerary check for Hokkaido/Tokyo

Travelling with 3 others. We don’t have a car and we’ve been to Tokyo before so the focus is Hokkaido. Want to check with others about whether the various options have too many day trips (->too much time taking public transit and moving from hotel to hotel) and if it’d be better to focus more on one of the cities or if it seems balanced.
