Im trying to figure out an itinerary for a really short trip to Japan – 8 days – upcoming early September with 4-5 days allocated for Hokkaido.
I have been to Japan on multiple occasions but never had the chance to head up to Hokkaido
I will be renting a car (unless if not needed) and pretty much will be relying on google for translations
Here is the temporary itinerary I made from researching reddit japan travel threads
Anything I should add or consider? Is this itinerary a little too tight? Any recommendations for hotels or must eat places? Thanks!

Odori Park – Hokkaido Food Festival
Sapporo Beer Museum

Sept 5 Noboribetsu (1 night)

Lake Kuttara
Lake Toya 9 (maybe)
Sept 6 – Hokodate (1 night)

Hakodate Ropeway
