anyone have experience of renting an ETC card? I was thinking to rent it but would it be better to not rent it and save the rental fee since the tolls can be paid using cash? and how much discount will I get by using ETC at the toll gate instead of using cash?

for my trip in June, after visiting Lake Mashu area, I am torn between going towards Lake Akan or Kushiro. anyone can advise me which one better to go?

Lake Akan
Onsen resort, Ainu Souvenir Street and Museum and Fire Festival performance at night. But I feel a bit too touristy.

Kushiro
Visit Kushiro Wetlands on the way, have Robatayaki at night. next morning visit Washo market for Katte Don. Accommodation are cheaper than Lake Akan onsen resort.

any idea?
