agree with regentCid
you must be extremely careful and patient driving during winter in hokkaido
normally i drive 40-50 all the time
and super slippery

lastlovesong
i drove during february and no joke there are smoke coming out of the road
average i hit -5 to -10 degree
at night -15

i rent from nippon honda jazz
the time i take the car almost at the rental shop for 2 hours for all the procedure + coaching on how to use the toll card and gpd in japanese
plus they give u a thick book which have all the road number , something like a code same with singapore

when i return i no need to pump full tank , they have built in petrol station inside their rental shop , quite pro
they wont bother small scratches or what , just simple scanning of the car and you are good to go
when i return my car around 30 minutes done , i return at 730am and manage to catch flight of 1030am

of course , if accident happened ,or car got problem ....then good luck to you LOL

driving in hokkaido is like your car playing ice skating LOL
you need skill to get used to it and drive

the car i rent and the road condition smile.gif

Holy crap.. driving in that kind of snow is like playing russian roulette on ice skates... reminded me on the time driving in snow on the swiss road.... hit a patch of black ice and you better pray your car can regain traction before the guardrail comes up..

buy at airport for the 2gb package.

good thing my data ran out on the last day i was there. All i needed was to preload my trip details from city to the airport and just make sure not to refresh anything.

For this data pack, once the data is used up, you need to top up at 1500 yen for 500mb or 3000 yen for 2gb.
