Second Hokkaido Trip

[Jeremy1]

How is your second day? Which tour agency did you go with?

Actually the tour is okay but my brother is snoozing

Also following tour group ( Hong Thai ) which I doesn't really like but no choice as my sister love following tour group.

Japan is a nice country. Next time I will go by myself

How's the weather?

I would said the weather is manageable.

Just that there are some areas which at high area n lake or sea the wind blowed is cold but then just put on a jacket for me will be okay liao.

Haven't tried yet but will tried when coming days

Temperature looked like it's getting warmer but still cooling.

Today temperature no need to wear jacket n now it's about 15 degrees warmer than yesterday.

Heard Singapore weather is very hot now.
Faster come here

i have not used public transport there much but seems like a lot of travelling and many locations

- wld drop Furano & Asahikawa or do just 1
- Niseko - IMO, that area best explored with car .. not sure your plan there. A bit out of the way without Car.
- Probably better to go Niseko from Toya, rather than go Hakodate first
- spend 1 more day at Hakodate

if arrive from Chitose, can consider going to Nobo first, and make way to Hakodate

then from Hako, go straight to Furano/Biei, then Asahikawa (if needed), then back to Sapporo

or fly into Hakodate and start from there ?

not sure which season u r going

first Hokkaido trip ? or been before ?

Going to factory outlets for shopping? I think they are near chitose airport

If your flight plans are flexible you can consider arriving at asahikawa or Hakodate. Or how about flying from Hakodate to Asahikawa or vice versa?

Also you can consider going to otaru as part of the eastern/southern Hokkaido portion of your trip, save you the to n fro from sapporo, though I am not sure if that works well without driving.

For Asahikawa, furano, biei, probably can use Asahikawa as base. But I heard before the public transport is limited in furano, but probably ok if you just want to farm tomita

if summer spend more days in furano, biei
asahikawa is a convenient base
