Hope 17~19 Oct still able to see Red leaves there.
Will it be very cold there ? i see average temp is 9 degree C.

Looking forward there soon.

Wondering where can i rent Yukata in Sapporo/Biei/Jozankei/Otaru ?

i just back from there, met First Snow there on 20th Oct. Quite lovely seasons, Autumn Yellow/Red leaves on top on white snow.

Nov ?
When i went to Sounkyo[18~19 Oct](near Asahikawa/Kamikawa that side) on top of Daisetsusun already cover with snow.

22th Oct, Hokkaido University(Sapporo) there already has yellow/red leaves.

Weather in Sapporo also almost 3~13 celcius during 19~23 Oct.

i reached station 5 at from cable car at Sounkyo, the cable car from Station 5 to Station 7 closed. I saw some ppl hike from Station 5 to Peak/Station 7, i guess you may need to register entrance at Station 5 before hike. The worker there not advise to hike when the trail is covered with snow.
I did tried to hike from Station 5 to Station 7, but halfway give up, bcos it seems need to take 1.5 hours to reach Station 7.

How i enter? I park my car outside the university (GPS: 43.075640, 141.347510) , then walk inside there.
Along this road (GPS: 43.075512, 141.345070) the scenery very nice.
Security will not allow tourist to drive in, so better park your car outside.

My last visit(Autmun Oct 2016) during my time at Biei, Hokkaido.

17th Oct .

For AAX flight back to KL, if you reach before 7am, you should able to drop your luggage in 10 mins. Because most ppl start ariving around 6.50am~7.30am. The custom gate open around 7.45am.

i took their normal cab from susukino area to airport, it took me ~12000 yen.

3 check-in size, 1 cabin size. Din really notice Gas cylinder at the back. But 1 thing for sure, the taxi service really good.
