[Itinerary Help] 10-Day Hokkaido Road Trip (Sept 7-17)
Hi everyone!
I wrote here a couple of months ago, my partner and I (2 adults) are planning a trip through Hokkaido in September 2026.
We decided on renting a car for the entire trip and we’re looking for opinions on our revised itinerary that was based on the feedback we received from this subreddit.
We’re going to stay in 3 main zones:
Day 1-3: Asahikawa-Biei-Furano
Arriving in Asahikawa in the afternoon and going sake tasting.
The next couple of days are for bike riding in Biei, hiking in Asahidake and tasting cheese in Furano and visiting the blue pond.
We still haven’t decided if it’s better to stay in Asahikawa or Biei… What do you think?
Days 4-6: Sapporo
Any recommendations for what to do in Sapporo? We’re thinking of spending one day on a trip to Otaru, with the last day being the opening of the Autumn festival in Sapporo, after which we’ll drive to lake Toya.
Day 7-8: Lake Toya
Mount Yotei Hike, Mount Usu around lake Toya. We thought about going to the Ainu museum.
Any other recommendations?
Day 9-10: Noboribetsu
Onsen stay in Dai-ichi, resting before out trip back, planning to take a walk to the Oyunuma river foot bath.
Would really love to hear your opinions!
