Hokkaido Itinerary: 10D Autumn Road Trip 2019 below RM5,000

Hokkaido was my first self-drive experience in Japan and it turned out to be my favorite road tripping travel experience. Many people has always wondered on how to self drive in Hokkaido after checking out many spectacular scenery photos about Hokkaido. Just right before Covid strike the world in 2020, I had a chance to travel to Hokkaido in November 2019 during Autumn / Winter season. Let me share my travel experience and some guides here.

Hokkaido

Hokkaido is not the name of a city, but rather the entire island and prefecture. As second largest, northernmost and least developed of Japan’s four main islands, Hokkaido is also Japan’s largest prefecture. Hokkaido is famous globally for its winter snowfall which has one of the world’s best quality snow, attracting lots of outdoor lovers like the skiers and snowboarders to visit Hokkaido during winter season.

Transportation

There are many flights to travel to Hokkaido and the common flight is to fly to Sapporo (Chitose Airport) and I bought my air ticket during promotion via AirAsia.

After reading a few travel blogs on Hokkaido, I have decided to self-drive as it is more convenient to travel around and visit certain extremely beautiful landscapes that are not reachable by public transportation. I booked my car rental online via Car Rental Hokkaido as recommended by my cousin who had travelled using this car rental service in Hokkaido. For type of car, it really depends on the number of travel passengers; I personally think that 4 pax per car is just comfortably nice.

Another thing to take note is that Hokkaido uses mapcode for their travel location and surprisingly it is more accurate when compared to Google Map. The car rental agency will guide you on how to search the mapcode and how to use the mapcode using the GPS on the car.

After getting the car, it is advised to check the car around to make sure that there is no scratches or any issue. Personally recommend to take a video on the whole car to avoid dispute when returning the car at the end of the trip.

An International Driving License is required to rent a car to self-drive in Hokkaido. For Malaysians, it only takes a few simple steps to apply an International Driving License as shared by Tommyooi:

1. Valid driving license with more than 1-year validity.
2. Photocopy of the driving license (Both sides).
3. Original and photocopy of Identity Card (Both sides).
4. 1 passport size photographs.
5. Complete Form JPJ L1 (Obtain & fill at JPJ office)
6. Payment of RM150 per year.

Visit the nearest JPJ Office to submit the application and you will receive the international driving permit immediately.

Don’t worry about filling up petrol in Hokkaido. There will be an assistant to help you to fill up your petrol at different petrol station. Tips here: always fill up your car petrol before you start your long travel journey to the next travel destination.

Klook Travel Helper

I have been using Klook Travel to get discounted vouchers, entrance voucher and etc for most of my trips. There are different discounts from time to time, feel free to check it out before your trip. For this trip, I have purchased 2 things from Klook Travel:

Day 1: Noboribetsu

After landing in Shin Chitose Airport early in the morning, we quickly grabbed some breakfast and explored the airport to buy some souvenir before getting our car rental to start the journey.

Jigokudani Valley

We drove to the famous Jigokudani Valley also known as Hell Valley.

Jigokudani (地獄谷) or “Hell Valley” is a spectacular, appropriately named valley just above the town of Noboribetsu Onsen, which displays hot steam vents, sulfurous streams and other volcanic activity. It is a main source of Noboribetsu’s hot spring waters. From the valley, there are attractive walking trails through the wooded hills above Noboribetsu.

After that, we had our lunch at Fukuya Soba Noodle for their famous soba noodle. Fukuya Soba Noodle is the hidden gem in Noboribetsu, serving authentic Japanese cuisine - soba and ramen. Their famous buckwheat noodle is sourced locally, hence it is incredibly satisfying when you enjoy their fresh soba. The shop starts operating from 11.30am to 2.00pm, personally to get there early as it gets easily full house around 12pm.

Oyunuma Pond

After lunch, we drove to our next destination Oyunuma Pond, a hot spring bog at about 560 m above sea level in Niseko Yumoto Onsen.

After chilling a while, it started to drizzle abit and we decided to go for onsen. Besides being famous for world class snow, some of the best onsen in the country can be found in the region of Hokkaido. These hot spring resorts are uniquely Japanese, with a long history and a lot of cultural impact.

Noboribetsu Sekisuitei

All onsen (hot springs) have one thing in common: they get their water from geothermal hot springs, not heated tap water. Most onsen have spate areas for men and women to bathe. As Noboribetsu is one of the most famous hot spring resort towns in all of Japan, we have choosen Noboribetsu Sekisuitei (石水亭) to try our first onsen experience. While enjoying the onsen heat, you also get to enjoy the mountain view from the onsen itself; it is such a satisfying experience that you are able to relax your muscle while enjoying an exceptional mountain view. Onsen is a very unique experience, strongly recommend to try it at least once in Hokkaido. (No photos are allowed in onsen)

Address: 203–1 Noboribetsuonsencho, Noboribetsu, Hokkaido 059–0596

After that, we bought dinner and moved in our first stay (booked via Agoda) to get some rest. When we first reached the place, we are again amazed of how beautiful the place is. It is a cozy little house that fits just nice for a group of 4, the house is beautifully designed with all the necessity equipment like heater, refrigerator as well ample parking space outside the house.

Day 2: Lake Toya

Hokkaido Shikotsu-Toya National Park Silo Observatory

Early morning, we drove straight to Hokkaido Shikotsu-Toya National Park Silo Observatory and you get to enjoy the panorama view of Lake Toya from here as long as you want. Parking is free at this place.

While you are enjoying the view from the observatory, you can also try out their local dairy yogurt drink at the first floor.

Toyakokisen Cruise

After falling in love with Lake Toya, we proceed to our next stop Toyakokisen Cruise 洞爺湖汽船. This boat cruise is one of best ways to enjoy the different angles of Lake Toya and enjoy the view of the breathtakingly beautiful mountains, lake and islands. The cruise goes around Nakajima and lasts about 50 minutes.

Address: 29 Toyakoonsen, Toyako, Abuta District, Hokkaido 049–5721, Japan
Business Hours: November to early April, 9am to 4pm (leaves every 60 mins)

After the cruise tour, we settled our lunch at Sendouan (仙堂庵) upper floor of Wakasaimo in which we are able to have our lunch while enjoying the blue Lake Toya view. At Wakasaimo, we bought some pastry like whitebean soybean paste (unique mild sweetness similar to roasted sweet potato but without any potato) before we left to Usuzan Ropeway.

Usuzan Ropeway

Usuzan Ropeway is a ropeway that connects a station at the foot of Showa-shinzan with one at the top of Mt. Usu. It takes six minutes one way. On the ride, there is a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding nature, including Uchiura Bay, Mt. Yotei, Lake Toya, and Showa-shinzan. The Usu Crater Basin Observation Deck, which can be accessed through a path at the top of the mountain, is a popular spot to see the basin that was created by the 1977 eruption.

It is one of my favorite place that I enjoy in Hokkaido, as the scenery from the top is truly amazing and breathtaking. From the top, Lake Toya and the township is just simply below you and you will be so satisfied with the panorama view up there.

Fee: Adult 1,600 Yen (round trip)
Address: 184–5 Showashinzan, Sobetsu, Usu District, Hokkaido 052–0102
Business Hours: 9am to 4pm

At top of the ropeway, there is a short 1 hour hiking trail which you can walk down to enjoy the panorama view of the mountains up there. Strongly recommend to spend some time to explore the path, as the view down the path is beyond your imagination.

The scenery from the top of the mountain is exceptionally breathtaking that I wish I can stay up whole day long.

At the bottom of Uzusan Ropeway, we had a walkaround the area to explore some photogenic spots.

Lake Toya Illumination Tunnel

At night, we have a chill walk around Lake Toya Illumination Tunnel after having dinner in Boyotei Restaurant. It is a 70-meter long illumination tunnel around Lake Toya, creating a fairy tale world in Hokkaido.

Day 3: Hakodate

After saying a hard goodbye to Lake Toya, we started our 3 hours drive to Hakodate (tips: pump your petrol before you start the journey). Hakodate is located near the southern tip of Hokkaido, it is a sophisticated port city that has buildings combining European and other international cultures together with Japanese culture.

After checking out the city, we decided to spend 2 nights staying in Share Hotels Hakoba Hakodate to explore the different must-visit attractions in Hakodate. Share Hotels is strategically located near the famous Hachiman-zaka Slope and the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse; there are also multiple parking spots around the hotel as well.

Onuma Quasi-National Park

Before arriving at Hakodate, there is a must-visit attraction that you should not miss if you are driving from Lake Toya and that’s Onuma Quasi-National Park. Located just only 20km north of Hakodate, Onuma Park is famous its picturesque, island dotted lakes and majestic volcano, Mount Komagatake.

The park is beautifully designed with attractive walking courses to explore the lakes’ peninsulas and islands, several of which are connected with each other by small bridges, in easy 15–60 minute walks. Due to time constraint, we spent about 2 hours in this magical place before driving to Hakodate for lunch.

After Onuma Park, we drove straight to this must-eat tiny ramen store, Hakodate Ramen Kamomë run by an old Japanese uncle.

For only 1,300 yen, you get to enjoy a full bowl ramen filled all types of fresh seafood. It’s definitely one of the best ramens I had in Japan, hopefully the old Japanese uncle still run the store when I visit Hakodate next time.

Hakodate Morning Market

After lunch, we had a quick visit at the Hakodate Morning Market which is directly opposite of the ramen store. In addition to enjoying seafood bowls in restaurants, there’s also a shop where you can fish for squid, Hakodate’s specialty, inside the market. The workers will slice the squid you’ve caught into sashimi (raw seafood) on the spot for you.

Hokkaido is also famous for their sweet and delicious Hokkaido Melon, a fruit that you must try out in Hokkaido, we bought the melon for picnic at the park later.

Miharashi Park (Kosetsuen)

After that, we took a short drive to the Miharashi Park which is famous for their beautiful koyo or autumn leaves. This park features a Japanese-style garden consisting of an old Japanese-style building and many garden trees, creates a dreamy atmosphere especially during autumn season.

I hope you don’t mind the spam of photos up there but that’s exactly how astonishing is the autumn sceneries in Miharashi Park.

Mount Hakodate

Slightly before evening, we drove to Mount Hakodate, being famous for its million-dollar night view. To enjoy the night view, you will need to take the the ropeway from the base of Mt. Hakodate to reach the summit in about 5 minutes. Please remember to wear enough clothing as it is very cold at the summit and wind could be strong depending on the season.

Opposite the city view, the sunset is unexpectedly stunning at the other side before the night arrives. Known as one of Japan’s three best night views, the night view from the summit is indeed spectacular, showing the contrast between the city lights, buildings, port and the dark blue ocean.

Lucky Pierrot

After a long day, we had our dinner at Lucky Pierrot Bay Area Main Shop nearby our hotel. Lucky Pierrot is a local burger chain, serving themed burgers that are out of this world. Every shop has fun and creative design; furthermore you can only find this not so ordinary fast food chain in Hakodate. For dinner, we tried their famous juicy burger and Japanese-style curry.

Day 4: Hakodate

Cape Tachimachi

After having quick breakfast, we drove to Cape Tachimachi, located at the southeastern end of Mount Hakodate. From here, you will be impressed by the grand scenery of the steep cliffs surrounded by the dark blue sea.

Fort Goryōkaku

Our next destination is the massive, star shaped, Western style citadel Fort Goryokaku. It was built in the last years of the Edo Period for the defense of Hakodate against the imperialist threat posed by the Western powers.

From the Adjoining Goryokaku Tower Observatory, you get to enjoy the Bird’s-Eye View of the Huge Star-Shaped Fortress surrounded by some 1,600 cherry trees as well as the magnificent city view.

Coming down from the observatory tower, we had sushi lunch at Kantaro Hakodate Sushi, one of best sushi place I did recommend to have in Hokkaido. Sushi is extraordinary fresh and price is reasonable here.

After lunch, we had some chill walk around Goryokaku Park. Literally every single spot in the park is so photogenic especially during this autumn season.

In Hakodate, another must-eat is the famous Gram Souffle Pancake which is one of my favorite dessert in Japan. (I actually went twice for its famous souffle pancake haha)

Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse

Satisfied with my favorite dessert, we went for a walk around the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse area and the bay area. It was originally acted as a storehouse but is now a shopping complex selling fashion and household goods to special Hokkaido souvenirs. There are a few pastry shops that are worth a try in the shopping complex.

The above covers my 2 Days stay in Hakodate, it had been a wonderful and memorable experiencing the food and attractions here. There are many more other scenic places but unable to explore all due to time limitation, will definitely return to this magical small town again.

Day 5: Niseko & Otaru

Next day, we went back to visit Hakodate Morning Market to grab coffee at Hakodate Jujiya Coffee and some fresh seafood breakfast. Before departing to Niseko for a short stopover, we also bought the delicious Hokkaido Melon for dessert later.

We filled up the car petrol before a 3 hours drive to Niseko.

Random Scenery on the way to Niseko

Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm

Niseko is famous for having tons of light powder snow and ski resort. As we travelled during autumn, we decided to made a short stopover at Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm to try out the fresh dairy products like the cheese tart and cream puff.

Just outside the Dairy Farm, the sceneries are mesmerizing that we just simply fall in love with simple nature in Niseko.

Otaru

While enjoying the scenery views, we had picnic lunch together with the dairy products from the farm. After lunch, we drove to our next destination, Otaru which is known for beautifully preserved canal area and interesting herring mansions. In Otaru, we choose Hotel Sonia for our next 2 nights stay. Hotel Sonia is located just directly opposite famous Otaru Canal Cruise and it is very convenient to reach a lot of nearby attractions in Otaru within walking distance. Besides that, Hotel Sonia also offers complimentary onsen at level 7 facing with stunning view of Otaru Canal that can help you feel relaxed from exploring around the city all day long.

After a long day, we decided to just have quick dinner at Otaru Beer Otaru Warehouse which is just 5minutes walking distance from our hotel. Recommend to try out their local Otaru beer, we bought different flavors back to hotel and enjoyed our onsen bath before ending the day.

Day 6: Otaru

Sankaku Market

On our first day in Otaru, we wake up early to visit Sankaku Market, a local food market. There are many seafood restaurants inside the morning market, can’t really decide which is the best one so we just simply choose one for our breakfast. The seafood are really fresh in this morning market and I recommend to be there early. It started to get crowded when we finished our seafood breakfast, so just take note that the queue could take as long as 1 hour if you are late.

Random photo shoot on students queuing for bus in the morning, Japan is one of the safest country in the world in which kids started to go school by themselves since young. Parents in Japan regularly send their kids out into the world at a very young age and this has helped the the young kids to develop a good understanding of the consequences of making a mess, since they’ll have to clean it up themselves. And this probably one of the reasons why Japan streets and public space are so generally clean as compared to many countries.

Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery

My favorite attraction and must-visit place in Otaru would be none other than the Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery which is located within 1 hour driving distance from Otaru town. Nikka whiskies are recognized to rank among the world’s best single malt whiskies and have won numerous awards. Admission is free here and parking is plenty and also free of charge. The distillery’s opening hours start from 9am to 5pm (subject to season).

In Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery, you can take a self-guided walking tour of the grounds to understand the whisky making process from start to finish. Visitors can learn about the different steps taken to produce whisky from English information displays and audio guides. Some of the equipment along the tour, such as the large copper distillation tanks, is still used today. Guided tours are available but are only provided in Japanese.

The tour ends at a tasting room where visitors can sample various Nikka whiskies; I got tried 3 samples: Apple Wine, Singlemalt Yoichi and Supper Nikka. As it is about lunch time, we had our lunch at the restaurant below the tasting floor and of course bought 4 bottles of whiskies from the store. (Please take note that maximum 1 liter of wine, spirits or malt liquor is allowed per person under Malaysia Customs regulation).

Cape Kamui

Cape Kamui, the most popular place on the Shakotan Peninsula, a 360 degree view can be seen from the tip of the cape that protrudes into the deep sea. From here, it is just so relaxing to feel the the sea breeze and watch the endless dark blue ocean. Autumn season may not the best season to visit this place but we decided to spend an hour here chilling along the walking path.

After taking countless photos at this scenic spot, we drove back to Otaru Town for shopping 😏.

Otaru is famous for souvenirs, desserts and pastry, we bought most of our souvenirs here. There are many stores that you can just simply walk in to try their pastry or food but there are 3 famous shops that you must visit:

Letao Main Store

You will be amazed that there are actually a few Letao stores in this small little town, you just simply can’t miss it. There are six stores, each with a different concept, in the town of Otaru, with each offering a large selection of limited products and delicious sweets! You may visit the Letao Main Store, a multi level building with their shop at the upper floor. “Letao” refers French phrase “La Tour Amitie Otaru” which means “Beloved Otaru Tower”.

Kitakaro Otaru Main Shop

Another store that you need to visit is the Kitakaro Otaru Main Shop, products here are made with authentic Hokkaido materials. All the desserts look super tempting and tasty, we bought some souvenir back as well. Forget to take picture here, so I will just googled the picture for you to identify how the shop looks.

Rokatei Otaru Canal Shop

Just beside Kitakaro, it is the Rokatei Otaru Canal Shop. You can find a full range of different souvenir to buy and they are nicely wrapped in box set or package, bringing an unique experience to shop in Japan.

End of day, we bought so many things that we had to bring it back to hotel before heading for dinner. Night view of the Otaru canal is so amazing that I feel lucky that my hotel is so near that I can look at it for long.

Day 7: Furano

After 2 days in Otaru, we started road trip again this time to Furano while stopping by Sapporo for lunch.

Shiroi Koibito Park

Shiroi Koibito Park is slightly far from Sapporo so it is best to visit there when you have a car. We dropped by Shiroi Koibito Park also known as Ishiya Chocolate Factory, being famous for their flagship product which is the Shiroi Koibito cookie, which consists of two thin butter cookies and a layer of white chocolate in between. Inside there, we went for a tour to observe the cookie production process in the factory and also watch how are those sweeties being made by them.

After going through the tour, we took some rest at the restaurant upstairs to get ready for shopping of souvenir’s at the ground floor later.

Hokkaido Shrine & Maruyama Park

After buying enough souvenirs, we decided to also visit both the Hokkaido Shrine & Maruyama Park (both are next to each other) as it is a bit of distance of the central Sapporo City as well. Known as 北海道神宮, the Hokkaido Shrine is surrounded by 1,500 cherry blossom trees which usually bloom early to mid May. At the shrine, you can walk around in the courtyard where you can take photos, purchase fortune tokens, and see the occasional traditional Japanese wedding. Local Japanese likes to visit Maruyama Park and have picnic with all the nature and trees surrounding it.

Then, we drove to a Morihico Coffee to try out the local Hokkaido coffee, it’s a small cozy coffee chain that has a few stores around in Sapporo before we headed for our lunch in the city.

One of the famous dish that you need to try in Sapporo is the worldwide famous home of “soup curry” that many tourists have come all the way to try this out. The rich curry-flavored soup with vegetables and meat has also won legions of local fans. We had our lunch at the Nishitondendori Soup Curry, but it is advised to go early before lunch time and queue for this famous soup curry story as the queue could gone crazy long.

After being satisfied with the rich flavored soup curry above, we started our 2 hours driving journey to Furano, which we had our next 2 nights stay. While driving halfway to Furano, we were caught by surprise that it started to snow and the weather started to get windy together with the snow. Lucky enough, our car that we were driving was capable to withstand the snow weather condition but we decided to drive slower as we were not familiar with snow driving.

Driving under snow condition is safe in Hokkaido as most cars are automatically equipped with snow tires, but it is recommended to drive extra carefully as the roads are more slippery and wind could be strong enough to move your car. We reached our accommodation slightly before evening but it was already night time outside to season switching to winter.

As we are quite tired after long drive whole day, we had dinner at the hotel after we checked in.

Day 8: Furano

The snow continued whole night while we were having good rest throughout the whole night, temperature has dropped that even our car was freeze with snow all over it. We warmed up the engine and got rid the snow accumulated before we departed to next miracle spot.

Along the journey, the road path were covered with snow and it is simply beautiful when we drove pass it.

Shirogane Blue Pond

The Shirogane Blue Pond is such a stunning scenery that I wished I could stay there all day long if not for the super cold weather. The unreal blue color pond is an artificially created pond, and it is rather new from the by-product of creating a dam at the Biei River. The Japanese larch and silver birch trees in the pond are such a wonderful combination with the mysterious blue. The pond displays various hues of blue depending on the season and the weather.

Every year, many tourists came all the way to Biei to visit this marvelous views of the Blue Pond and we are glad that we are lucky enough to witness this wonderful snow view of the Blue Pond this winter season.

After taking countless photos of the Blue Pond under the freezing cold weather, we had some late breakfast and some rest the Campana Rokkatei. We had some warm coffee while resting to enjoy the snow view outside the store.

Furano Delice

Furano Delice is located atop a hill in the outskirts of Furano City. We tried out the famous “Furano Milk Pudding” which is cooked and served in a miniature Furano Milk bottle. The store includes a cafe terrace, where you can enjoy a relaxing teatime with a panoramic view of the Furano region.

Ningle Terrace

Located in the forest of the New Furano Prince Hotel, Ningle Terrace is famous for small craft shops handcrafting original works and log cabin shops sell original locally made goods. Unfortunately, Ningle Terrace was closed for maintenance during our visit so we ended up taking photos of the snow scenery around the area.

As the weather got really cold and road condition was kinda slippery, we only managed a few locations mentioned above. We literally just chilled and enjoy the snow view around the Furano for the whole day.

Day 9: Sapporo

Saying goodbye to the limitless snow view in Furano, we drove back to Sapporo City the next day. We also returned our car rental here as the transportation is convenient and you can choose to travel around with subway train or bus within the city. Before heading to our attraction in Sapporo, we had our lunch (good old Sapporo miso ramen that even local Japanese loves it) at this underground ramen place, 千寿.

Hokkaido University

In the afternoon, we took a bus to visit the famous Hokkaido University. In addition to being a world famous university, Hokkaido University is also a must visit attraction when you visit Sapporo. The campus is located at downtown Sapporo and transportation is very convenient to reach there with bus and subway trains.

The whole area of the campus is very big with several historical buildings, including the statue of William Smith Clark and anyone can go in and look around the campus whenever they want .There are many trees all over campus, such as poplars and “elms” (a type of ginkgo tree).

There are many buildings that you visit in the whole campus area of the Hokkaido University, you may actually spend whole day by just simply exploring the different historical buildings around the campus. We spend most of the afternoon time strolling around the campus leisurely to view the long history of the university.

At night, we had dinner at Soup Curry Garaku to try the local Japanese curry again after we have fallen in love with it after trying it the first time.

Day 10: Sapporo

After having simple breakfast, we started the day by chilling around Sapporo Odori Park to experience the lifestyle of local Japanese in the city.

Tanukikoji Shopping Street

In the afternoon, we spent the rest of day shopping around Tanukikoji Shopping Street on our last day in Sapporo before we ended our travel journey in Hokkaido.

Kahisakan Coffee Store

Kinotoya Bake

Sapporo Beer Museum

At night, we had a luxurious Japanese buffet (all-you-can-eat mutton BBQ) at the Sapporo Beer Garden which we booked via Klook (with a discount). It is the Japan’s only museum dedicated to beer, which explores the long history of Sapporo Beer, passed down from the days of the 1876 Kaitakushi business. I strongly recommend that you to book your final Japanese meal here, the experience is extremely good as you get to enjoy the limitless fresh Japanese food here.

Finale Note

It has been a wonderful experience to self drive around Hokkaido and I would definitely revisit this peaceful little township of Japan in the near future. I hope you are able to get some travel tips from my travel journey in Hokkaido.
