Hokkaido Road Trip 2019 - Furano, Biei, Otaru, Cape Kamui, Mt. Yotei

Trip to Chitose, Yubari, Furano, Biei, Otaru, Mt. Cape Kamui, Mt. Yotei, Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu.

5 day trip in a 7 seater Mitsubishi Delica around Hokkaido, We covered over 1,000km staying at Airbnb in Sapporo, Furana, Otaru & Mt.Yotei.

Driving in Hokkaido is a breeze. Most place have ample parking, drivers are very disciplined and navigation via Waze, Google Maps or the vehicle's GPS is quite straight forward.

We had the best food and sights! We had soft serve ice cream every place we stopped and it was soo good!

Car rental site. We pre-booked before our trip and we were picked up by the car rental company at bus stop #30 outside the domestic Airport in Chitose
