Me (M40) and partner (F33) are doing 15 nights in Japan from june 22 to july 7, consisting of three nights i Sapporo, three nights in Hakodate, one night at ryokan in Kawaguchiko and the remaining eight nights in Tokyo.
The itinerary are mostly done, but I'm a bit unsure if three nights in Hakodate is one night too much. The hotels are already booked though and with twelve days before arrival it feels a bit too much hassle in replanning hotels.
Here is our current itinerary for the Hakodate leg of the trip. Advice and thought would be much appreciated:
Hakodate day 1 (arrival):
- ~17:30 – Arrive by train from Sapporo. Checkin at hotel near Hakodate station.
- 18:00 – Dinner.
- ~19:00 – Night View from Mt. Hakodate
- Rest of the night – Snack time and go to hotel.
Hakodate day 2:
- Morning: Breakfast at Morning Market.
- AM: Visit Cape Tachimachi.
- Hiking some trails at Mt. Hakodate.
- ~12:00 – Lunch somewhere.
- PM: Explore Motomachi Area
- Hachiman Zaka Slope
- Hakodate City Museum of Northern Peoples
- Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse
- Evening: Dinner somewhere nice.
Hakodate day 3:
- Morning: Do some laundry at hotel's coin laundry facility.
- Pick up Shinkansen tickets at Hakodate Station for next morning.
- Send luggage with Yamato Takkyubin to Tokyo Hotel with the help of current hotel's front desk.
- AM: Goryōkaku Fort and -Park.
- ~12:00: Lunch at either Takashi (unagi) or Ajisai honten (shio ramen) depending on mood.
- PM: Maybe Onuma Quasi-National Park.
- Evening: Dinner somewhere near hotel.
Hakodate Day 4:
- ~06:30 – Early checkout.
- ~07:00 – Hakodate Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station
- ~07:30 – Depart with Shinkansen towards Tokyo.
As mentioned earlier, rebooking is too much a hassle, so we're just gonna try to plan the best stay we can.
