Hi Sifu. Had to revise the route of my plan as much lesser hotel options during weekend at Sapporo (especially my favourite Mercure). Could you help to take a look and comment as needed?

7th Nov - Arrive CTS 8AM. Explore around the airport and pickup car at 11AM. Drive to Sapporo (~49KM) and spend 2 nights at Mercure Hotel (tentative)

8th Nov - Stay at Sapporo

9th Nov - Drive to Otaru (~38KM). Spend the night at Grand Park Otaru. Plan to visit Otaru Canal, Citi Museum, Railway Museum, Sakaimachi Street

10th Nov - Drive to Lake Toya (~115KM). Spend the night at Granvillage Toya Daiwa Ryokan Annex (tentative)

11th Nov - Drive to Hakodate (~164KM). Spend the night at either Hakodate Kokusai or Hakodate Grand. Plan to visit Mt. Hakodate at night, Fort Goryokaku, Red Brick Warehouses and Asaichi morning market. I think can just park at hotel and walk to these places

12th Nov - Drive to Muroran/Noboribetsu (~213KM). Plan to visit Jigokudani and Shiraoi Ainu Museum. Spend the night at Dormy Inn Higashi Muroran Natural Hot Spring or Hotel Route Inn Higashimuroran Ekimae (tentative)

13th Nov - Drive back to Chitose to return car and spend the night at airport hotel

14th Nov - 9AM flight home. Free shuttle from hotel to airport

Sometimes its not just the temperature. Its the humidity. Everyday when I reach my office I am already sweating even though the walk from the train station to my office is only 5 mins.

Those planning to biei anytime soon can consider skip, cuz is super hot, 30c. Nothing much to see except for green or died veges. In short no more colorful patches.

And the blue pond is no more blue due to the recent typhoon that destroyed its dam.

For those who want to cycle around biei get the electric bike, otherwise ur GF will ask for breakup n ur wife will ask for a divorce although u feel like Lance Armstrong.

Signing off my short report from Biei.
