    In this video we are traveling from Sapporo to Hakodate. Along the way we'll explore Moerenuma Park and the Sapporo Beer Museum in Sapporo before stopping for the night at the quaint lakeside town of Toyako Onsen. On day two we'll visit the area affected by the 2000 eruption of Mt. Usu, then walk around Onuma Park before finally finishing in Hakodate to take in one of the top three night views in all Japan.

    What I like about this trip report is that, unlike those vlogs, too much raptures, don't know what they are talking, too long mehh while this one is full of information, to the point and quite short. Really like it!!

    I was selected to go live in Hakodate for a year as part of an exchange program. I was initially bummed out that they would send me to a small port town whereas my other friends were sent to tokyo, osaka etc... but i was glad they did. If i had a choice and could do it again, ild live in Hakodate all over again. I might be biased but .. it has the nicest people, best food and most homey feel out of other areas in Japan ( in my opinion..).

      We went to Japan on an 8 week trip. I can wholeheartedly agree with you, for our short time in Japan, that Hakodate had some of the friendliest people in the whole country. And some of the beeeeeest seafood!

      I had exactly the same experience. Foreign exchange to little old Hakodate. Turns out it's great! Been back there twice now in the 10 years since finishing the exchange. One day I'll take my kids there and they will know what a lovely little town it really is

    I've been to Hokkaido twice. 1st trip was mainly in Sapporo, and the last one I went to Wakkanai, Biei, Sapporo and Furano. This October I will be back for 23 days. I initially don't intend to visit Hokkaido because I want to visit other prefectures too, but because of this video, makes me want to review my itinerary and might squeeze in Hokkaido again. The island is really wonderful.

    I did the same last August, starting from Hakodate, I spend one full day in Hakodate coming early morning from Aomori. Then I went to Toya very early next morning and spent a full day and then went to Noboribetsu to enjoy their onsen and finally Sapporo and Moerenuma park, shiroi koibito factory, sapporo beer factory, Odori park, Susukino, Otaru, etc. Great video, good memories!!! felt so nostalgic

    Great video guys - keep them coming!
    I actually undertook a similar itinerary back in October 2016 when I visited Hokkaido (and which I will be doing again in May 2019).
    This trip can actually be stretched out to 3 days as there is definitely another worthwhile stop in between Sapporo and Lake Toya - Noboribetsu.
    To the unfamiliar, Noboribetsu is Hokkaido's most famous onsen town, home to many hot spring resorts with Dai-ichi Takimotokan as arguably the best in the whole of Japan.
    Close by is Jigokudani (aka Hell Valley) - a valley with walking trails where you can gain first hand insight into the volcanic geothermal activity which provides Noboribetsu it's hot spring water.
    I would definitely recommend including Noboribetsu as a must see stop - but if you're limited by time and need to stick to a 2 day trip, I would substitute Noboribetsu for Lake Toya.
    That's not to say Lake Toya is not without it's charms, the Kompirayama Walking Trail (as shown in the video) is a harrowing reminder of the destruction caused by nature's fury with abandoned buildings, homes and even a kindergarten (the last scene with the playground and bus) - an urban explorer's dream come true!
    Whilst the view from Mt Hakodate is quite nice at night, the highlight of any Hakodate visit is the view of Fort Goryokaku - a star shaped fort which can be viewed from nearby Goryokaku Tower or explored at ground level.
    Either way, like everything in life, there's always so much to do, but so little time!

What sort of time were you starting the day and did you feel you had long enough at each site? I was wondering if you suggest taking a bit longer than two days for the journey? Also do you think its possible to travel Hokkaido by Japan Rail Pass or would it be better to get the Hokkaido rail pass or a rental car? Thank you very much (:

    What are the must see in Hokkaido in WINTER? - Hakodate, Lake Toya, Otaru, Sapporo, Furano? If so, could I base in Sapporo and do day trips or it's better to stay overnight in each place with 2 days in Sapporo?

Also temperatures will be near or below freezing, so if you visit during this period make sure to have proper cold weather apparel.

    I have a serious complaint! Whenever I visit Japan, I always visit by planning my trips excessively more than any other country I come to. This time was going to be simple and I was going to stay in Sapporo because it would be simple and easy. When I watched this video, I realized my way to have R&R would be too boring! Now I have to change my bookings ~~~~ (ㅠㅠ). Fine!
    Night 1 of my arrival ... book a hostel near Lake Toya, done.
    Night 2 of my arrival ... book a hostel in Hakodate
    Well, now that I need to do everything in between that, it doesn't sound so bad. Now I need to figure out what I'll do for the next 5 days :)

      For price I would do it again (maybe) since they are all that's available in Lake Toya. But I can't recommend the place based on limited check-in hours.
