Hokkaido trip help!
Hi! I've been lurking the past month building an impromptu trip for me and a buddy(shout out to everyone who contributes here <3). We have 7 days and will be renting a car and so far it looks like this:
Day 1 (July 21): Sapporo
Day 2 (July 22): Noribetsu
Day 3 (July 23): Furano / Hokuryu
Day 4 (July 24): Biei and head west stop Kawayuonsen
Day 5 (July 25): Shiretoko
Day 6 (July 26): Shiretoko and drive back west. Stay overnight around Lake Akan.
Day 7 (July 27): Make impromptu stops till back in Sapporo
Day 8 (July 28): 10:30am flight back to Tokyo
This is obviously a rough draft, but wanted some input if anyone has any! Is it too much and too hopeful? We are pretty flexible + whimsical in our travel style.
Also was wondering if its a better idea if we split the trip in half around Day 3 and fly out to the East side of Hokkaido and rent another car there and fly to Sapporo Day 7 to save time?
