Hello! never been to Hokkaido so I’m very excited, but I realized I may be trying to see too much of the island in the 5 days (technically 4 days) we are there. I already had to cut out Hakodate. This is very vague since I mostly wanted feedback/advice on how feasible travel distance is and get lodging booked asap(this was trip was last minute and begins next week). I tried to make sure the drives were reasonable, but please let me know if otherwise!
Day 1:
* NRT -> CTS arrive at 10:30 pm. Hopefully make it to the last bus!!!
* Arrive to hotel and just sleep after grabbing late-night snacks. (Missing Yosakoi Soran Matsuri by a night and we’re bummed. Any chance festivities will go on late?)
Day 2
* stay in Sapporo(wander, odori park)
* possible half-day visit to otaru?
Day 3
* rent car around noon and drive to furano.
* Ningle Terrace, blue pond, farm tomita.
* stay in furano.
Day 4:
* visit Daisetsuzan national park in the AM
* Drive to noboribetsu with a stop by mount tarume.
* stay in noboribetsu
Day 5:
* early check out to 10:35 AM flight. CTS to KIX.
if we don’t plan to use the onsens, should we skip noboribetsu? we’re too shy for the public ones and couldn’t find a private one in budget. then we have 6D5N in kyoto with day-trips and 5D4N in tokyo. I am willing to shave off a day off kyoto/osaka or tokyo to stay longer in hokkaido. Thanks!
