Or they could rest and prepare for their next destination. 2. ** Otaru (1 day)** - Morning: Depart from Sporporo and take the JR Line to Otaru. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seaside, you can take the ordinary line or the express train to Chaoli Station (express or special trains do not stop). Chaoli Station has a good camera, especially after the snow in winter. After Hoshi Station, there was a beautiful sea view line (from Chikan Station to Asaori Station). You can also get off at Qianhan Station in advance and walk along the seaside railway line to Chaoli Station. After taking photos at Asaori Station, they continued to head to Otaru. After arriving in Otaru, they first visited the Otaru Canal, which was the symbol of Hokkaido. The old buildings and streets along the banks of the river were full of history. In winter, the canal was covered in snow and decorated with colorful lanterns. It was very beautiful. - Lunch: Enjoy dessert at the Sakai Machi-dori Commercial Street in Otaru or have a meal at a nearby restaurant. There are many dessert shops and glass houses here for shopping and sightseeing. - Afternoon: You can choose to visit Otaru Aquarium (if you don't go to Asahikawa zoo) or Tengu Mountain (if you don't go to Hakodate). After that, you can return to Saparo or stay at Dormy Inn in Otaru. 3. ** Asahikawa (1 day, recommended for those with children or animals)** - Morning: Depart from Sporporo to Asahikawa, check in at JR Hotel Asahikawa (if you plan to stay), and then go to Asahikawa zoo to play. Note that penguins only walk from late December to mid-March. - Afternoon: You can visit the Snow Art Museum, then return to Asahihoro or stay overnight in Asahikawa. 4. ** Farewell (1 day)** - In the morning, depart from Saparo or other places to Noboribetsu. After arriving, visit Hell Valley, which is a geothermal area. You can also go to Bear Farm (the largest bear-themed zoo in Hokkaido). - Afternoon to evening: Soak in the hot spring in Noboribetsu. I recommend staying at the Daiichi Honkan (if you want to stay in Noboribetsu). You can also go directly to the hot spring hotel in Lake Toya after the tour. 5. ** Toya Lake (1 day)** - Morning: Soak in the hot spring of Lake Toya and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake View Hotel. - Afternoon: You can tour around Lake Toya before returning to Saparo. 6. ** Hakodate (1 - 2 days, if you have enough time and want to experience more)** - first day - In the morning, go to Hakodate from Saparo. When you arrive, you can go see the monkeys in the hot spring. - Afternoon: Climb Hakodate Mountain to see the night view. Hakodate's night view is very famous. - The next day (option) - They could continue to visit Hakodate and experience other local attractions or delicacies. ** 2. Transportation Strategy ** - Transportation in Hokkaido was convenient, and one could drive around or take public transportation. If you want to check the specific transportation time and ticket price, you can use the website: <strong></strong> - As for whether or not you need the Hokkaido Railroad Pass JR Pass, if you just want to save money, you don't need a pass. It's cheaper to use a bus/non-direct train. If the travel time is short (you need to take the direct train to speed up) and you want to see more places, it's worth it to use a pass. The 3-day ticket is 17400 yen, the 5-day ticket is 23480 yen, and the 7-day ticket is 25710 yen. See the official website for details. ** 3. Delicacy recommendations ** - At the Central wholesale market in Saparo and the seafood market in Otaru, you can taste fresh seafood such as crabs, scallops, and sea urchins. You can eat Genghis Khan and cattle in Dengbe. Of course, you can also taste all kinds of special desserts in the Sakai Town Commercial Street in Otaru. ** 4. Points to note ** - Snow began to fall in Hokkaido in late October and only formed in early December. The snow season was from December to April. When traveling, you should take measures to prevent cold and keep warm. - If the travel time was not enough, some adjustments could be made to the itinerary, such as eliminating Furano (the most beautiful place was the flower field/lavender, and there was only snow in winter); eliminating Hakodate (the most beautiful place was the night view, and the night view was very cold in winter); eliminating Asahikawa (if you didn't bring children and didn't like animals); you could stay at Lake Toya and play Noboribe on the way (other attractions had their own characteristics, but Toya's hotel was more luxurious). The reduced version of the game was as follows: - D1 arrived at Sporporo. - D2 One-day tour of Otaru, returning on the same day. - On D3, they set off early in the morning. On the way, they would play in Noboribetsu for two to three hours, and at night, they would soak in the hot springs in Toya. - On D4, they would continue to soak in the hot spring in the morning and return to Sporporo in the afternoon. - D5, one day in Saparo, and then back to China.
