Hi,
I plan to go to Hokkaido in June next year, and had been scratching my head as to where to base myself and also whether it's possible to visit many cities during the trip.
I plan to be there for about 8 days from early to Mid June.
My rough plan is to fly into Hakodate from Haneda.
Day 1: Haneda --> Hakodate
Day 2: Hakodate
Day 3 Lake Toya
Day 4: Otaru
Day 5: Furano - Biei [i can't drive, so i will need to use the buses and trains, which seems to be infrequent]
Day 6-8: Sapporo
I have a bit of a headache thinking of how i will go around in Furano & Biei with the twinkle buses being available only on weekends during the time i'm there and only a few times a day.
Should i give up on Furano & Biei, and spend more time on Hakodate and include Noboribetsu instead? Or should i venture to other parts of Hokkaido? Open to other opinions...
Also Is it worth to get a JR Hokkaido pass for my kind of itinerary?
