Hi, Im going to Tokyo and Hokkaido this end of November 25/11-3/12.
My itinerary is fly to Obihiro airport > Furano > Biei > Asahikawa > Sounkyo > Daizetsusan > Asahikawa > Sapporo > Otaru > Niseko > Lake Toya > Sapporo > Back to Tokyo.
I was wondering how is the snow condition will be like? is it advisable to drive around Hokkaido?
Im considering either rent a car or buy JR hokkaido pass.

Furano > Biei > Asahikawa > Sounkyo > how bout jozankei and noboribetsu? Ya obihiro airport by domestic flight, because i intend to visit tokachi, the asahikawa zoo not worth going? |

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Aug 23 2016, 05:28 PM) Have snow driving exp before? If no better dont. Better youtube how to put chain on tyre skill. You will needed it. November snow still not that scary but still very slippery. If newbie level can be very challenging also. Day light are very short. 4pm already sunset. Plus snow driving only allow 60km/h at highway and 40km/h at normal road. Need plan longer time put in travel journey. Thank you very much for your advices, will need to change my route if im taking public transport. Either asahikawa airport > sounkyo > daizet > biei > furano >tokachi > Obihiro > Sapporo > Otaru > Niseko > Lake Toya > Sapporo or Obihiro airport > Tokachi > Furano > Biei > Asahikawa > Sounkyo > Daizetsusan > Sapporo > Otaru > Niseko > Lake Toya > Sapporo > Back to Tokyo. Smooth? |
