Where to go in Hokkaido?
My husband and I are coming to Japan for two weeks mid-August (yeah, I know, I wasn't aware of Obon). We'll spend 60% of the trip on Hokkaido and the rest in the Japanese Alps.
For now, we were thinking of landing in Sapporo and going to Biei, Furano and Daisetsuzan. We're not really city people. We like nature, hiking, landscape and villages a lot.
Is there some place in Hokkaido that you really feel we should go? I know we're only exploring a tiny part of the island. I've been told about lake Toya, but it's pretty far. For an unknown reason, my husband really wanted to visit Rishiri island and Rebun island, but I don't really know if it's worth the time it gets to get there.
Also, I have no idea what to do in each of these places besides hike (for the moment). So, if you have suggestions, I'm in.
We'll have a car. Thank you so much for your time. :)
