Hi guys. I am planning a 12 days trip to Hokkaido in mid July and would really appreciate your insight and advice on my itinerary.
However, please note that my friend and I will be doing the trip via public transportation as we do not have our driving licenses. I would prefer the holiday to be relaxing instead of skimming through every location.
Day 1: Land in New Chitose airport. Stay in Sapporo for a night.
Day 2: Furano
Day 3: Biei
Day 4: Travel to Asahikawa.
Day 5: Asahikawa/Daisetsuzan National Park
Day 6: Travel to Noboribetsu
Day 7: Noboribetsu
Day 8 Travel to Lake Toya and stay for the night.
Day 9: Travel to Sapporo
Day 10: Sapporo/Hokuryu-cho Himawari-no-Sato
Day 11: Day trip to Otoro
Day 11: Sapporo
Day 12: Depart Sapporo
Would be be grateful for your inputs on my itinerary.
Also, I would like to check regarding the Furano Biei Round Tour ticket, can I buy the pass outside of Japan? If not, where can I purchase it (New Chitose airport?) and if I can use the ticket immediately? When will the 2016 schedules for the Furano Biei Round tour ticket will be out? Where could I get more information when it is out?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
