Please enjoy my free guide to the absolutely gorgeous Hokkaido. We spent two weeks driving around Hokkaido, and have compiled a list of most excellent restaurants, cafes, scenic scenery, and hotels. TRAVEL TIPS: Fly from Tokyo (Haneda Airport) to New Chitose Airport (the closest airport to Sapporo, and third largest airport in Japan). It takes less than 2 hours, and since it is a local flight, you only have to arrive 1 hour before you fly out. I recommend this route over the Shinkansen (bullet train) which will take much longer and will cost more money. CAR RENTAL: A free shuttle bus from the airport took us to the car rental location. We drove to Sapporo and stayed for a few days before embarking on this excellent summer roadtrip. Please note, renting a car in Hokkaido in the wintertime takes an experienced and skilled snow driver, so if this isn't you, I recommend leaving the driving to the summertime. GUIDE INDEX: 1.

Hokkaido isn't just a winter wonderland for skiing; it unfolds its beauty in every season. I'm excited to share this road trip itinerary that unveils the diverse wonders of Hokkaido's nature. While it's feasible to explore Hokkaido using public transport, the options are limited, flexibility is reduced, and meticulous planning becomes essential due to less frequent services. For that, you can engage my service at Thatch to customise your perfect travel itinerary. I'm here to help you make the most of your Hokkaido adventure!
