Hokkaido 北海道租車自由行

(1) Just a brief idea.....
Day 1 - Chitose Airport -> Sapporo (Stay: Sapporo)
Day 2 - Sapporo市内観光 (Stay: Sapporo)
Day 3 - Otaru小樽 (Stay: Sapporo)
Day 4 - Sapporo -> Hakodate函館 (Stay: Hakodate)
Day 5 - Hakodate / 大沼 (Stay: Hakodate)
Day 6 - Hakodate -> Noboribetsu登別 (Stay: Noboribetsu温泉)
Day 7 - Noboribetsu -> Asahikawa旭川 (Stay: Asahikawa)
Day 8 - Asahikawa -> Biei美瑛 -> Furano富良野 (Stay Furano)
Day 9 - Furano -> Chitose Airport
(2) Its very time consuming and just waste of time.
(3) No more Lavender, but still a lot of flowers like Sunflower and other kinds of flowers at Furano and Biei area.
(4) It is difficult to say as I don't know how's your budget.

租車記得揀日本豐田： Rent a car會較好些，優點:


1) 車款多，店舖最密


2) 價錢平均 平d，有時更有Promotion


3) 詳盡說明、用法及支援


4) 上網登記方便


5) GPS, Baby seat 有時有機會免費添!!


如果3~4人玩幾天的話，選擇混燃車會較慳油!

我曾經在北海道、九州、本州都租過 Toyota@ Rent a car

2. If you really want to visit Tokyo, the fastest way is to fly from Sapporo to Tokyo, and it's not too expensive. If you are lucky, you could get a one-way ticket for about 17,000yen, x 2 for two-way.

4. There are so many nice pension in Hokkaido, they usually provide breakfast and dinner, but most of the nice pension have their website only in Japanese. If you are interested, I could help you to reserve.

I have a website about Japan, it's a new website, but if you are interested in other japanese culture, you may wanna check it out. www.myiroiro.com/jp

1. End of August to September... there will be not much to see in Hokkaido. cos most of the [real] flower farms will be harvested. if you want to see some, well, can still go to 富田農場. but that is not a farm. basically it is just a tourist attraction. There will also be no maple leaves that early. But if this is the first time you go to Hokkaido, there will be a lot of places to visit, for example, Sapporo, New Chitose Shopping Outlet, 旭川旭山動物園, 登別溫泉, 小樽硝子(玻璃)館, hakodate fresh seafood market, night scenery...

For girls I particularly suggest going to Onsen. It will be fun to go bath with your girl friends (provided that you will not be embarassed by going naked). As for the Zoo, i also recommend to go as the animals are SOOOO cute~!

2. Yes it will be quite time consuming to go down to Hokkaido to Tokyo and then return to Hokkaido again. If you take Shinkansen, unless you buy JR pass, otherwise it will be expensive. But if you buy JR pass, it is wasteful not to have used it in other days. Obviously i do not recommend you to drive all the way from Hokkaido to tokyo... (well, i have not tried it, i never thought of that, but i think it will take DAYS!!!)

3. Sorry, no. As said, unless you go to Farm Tomita (富田農場). If you are lucky enough you will find one or two flower farms still harvesting. But most of them will be cut. I have been to Furano and Biei some 4 years ago in mid-August. flower farms were already under harvest.

4. Quite a number of hotel or ryokan will provide free parking service if you stay in their room. for minshuku (民宿) you will need to ask. If you want to make sure, you may inform them that you are driving to the hotel so they may (or may not!) reserve a parking space for you.
