- Welcome to our Hokkaido 5 day road trip!! We arrived at Sapporo Chitose Airport on Monday, May 22, 2023 and we started our journey around Hokkaido.
Our first destination was Noboribetsu Hot Springs. On the way there, we saw many cherry blossom trees which we didn't expect to be blooming late in May, so we were pleasantly surprised.
We will show you Jogokudani (Hell's) Valley and walk around the park and then we relaxes at the foot bath hot springs.
Our next destination was Lake Toya, a volcanic caldera lake in Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Hokkaido. On the way there, we stopped at Lake Hills Farm located in southern Hokkaido surrounded with many flowers and spectacular views of the lake and Mount Yotei.
After getting a delicious milk products refreshments at Lake Hill Farm, we made it to Toyaka area top view point of Lake Toya, surrounded with beautiful cherry blossom trees.
It was a great 1st day at Hokkaido and we were truly amazed by beautiful nature and calming atmosphere of Hokkaido, totally different from our Tokyo & Kyoto experience.
And to top our 1st day Hokkaido experience, it was staying at Jozankei Tsuruga resort & spa, a modern & elegant Japanese style ryokan where we enjoyed an excellent dinner, onsen and nightly entertainment.
Stay tunned for our upcoming Hokkaido vlogs from Shakotane Peninsula, Otaru, Sea of Clouds, Furano & Biei, Farm Tomita, Tulip Park, Mombetsu, lake Akan, Shibazakura Takinoe Park and more!!

thanks guys, going to Hokkaido in May to catch cherry blossom, your route map really helps.
Hope you have a great trip and catch some cherry blossom 😊
Just bumped in to this video of yours and loved it so much that i ended up watching some other vlogs in a row...the norway one was amazing aswell. Totally admired the way you bros vlog each tour. Subscribed ❤
thank you so much!!
Beautiful ❤
This is amazing and Hokkaido is beautiful ❤
thank you 😊
I am planning to visit during May. I hope to get similar or better views 😅
Hope you have a great trip :)
Hokkaido is the best place to be in Japan.
You can reach Noboribetsu, Jozankei, Otaru, Asahikawa by public transpo.
If you are in a budget like me but traveling time is not an issue, take the bus from Sapporo.
This is a great video. I am planning to visit Japan late April and am inspired to visit Hokkaido watching this video. One question: is this place really as beautiful as seen in the video? Or your editing skills play the role here? 😊
Thank you! To answer your question, we could say this - Hokkaido is really beautiful but it depends how you look at it. Spring and summer offers colorful flower fields and that was one of the main reason we wanted to visit it so we pointed out in our video to things which caught our interest. Hope you have a great trip and enjoy Hokkaido as we did 😊
Im visiting in late May! Hopefully we will catch the tail end of the cherry blossoms?!?! Any advice?!
Our trip was around same time and we got lucky with the cherry blossom so hope you have the same luck😊 You can check www.japan-guide.com/sakura/ for more information about 2024 sakura season in Japan. Hope that helps and have a great trip!!
Thank you for the nice video. I'll be going to Hokkaido in mid May this year. Hope i can catch sights of cherry blossom. In your video, you mentioned about the cherry blossom at Sobetsu. Did you just stop your car by the side of the road to see the flowers? Or are there car parks nearby for you to stop your car?
Thank you! We just stopped on the road since we didn't expect to see any more cherry blossom trees. It was a total surprise as we drove by them 😊especially around Sobetsu, Lake Toya area.
Is rental car pretty much a must when visiting Hokkaido?
@@user-xp1pj2ek9f the are many places you can't reach without a car and if you like to explore Hokkaido, we would suggest to rent a car. It is also very refreshing to drive on the open road around the country. You can see the country side, amazing sunsets and beautiful landscape of Hokkaido and make a stop to enjoy it! Hope you have a great trip!
Good one...which month you actually visited...I am going next year in April
Thank you :) We visited Hokkaido in late spring from May 22nd to May 26th. Hope you have a great trip 😊
Gonna visit Hokkaido this April 24th, am I gonna be too early for cherry blossoms? Was hoping to see both the blossoms and maybe a little snow, is it feasible or am I asking for too much? 😂
you might be lucky because it changes every season and this season looks like cherry blossom will be little earlier than last year so hope you have a great trip and see both 😊
Hi, will there bit of snow? I am planning to go in two weeks time.
@@suemohd2229 there still might be some snow by the end of April and the cherry blossom season peaks around the time of Golden Week - late April to early May. Hope you have a great trip 😊
Thanks so much. Really enjoyed your amazing video.
Can you arrive these destinations by public transit? Planning to fly from Tokyo to Hokkaido
We flew from Tokyo to Sapporo where we rented a car because some of the destinations are probably not accessible by public transportation, so we suggest to check local public transit. Hope you have a great trip!
How did you pay for the toll fees in Hokkaido? Did the rental car come with an ETC reader?
yes, that's correct and it was charged by the rental car company, however, we didn't drive on toll roads much since we wanted to explore the country
Hey, do you know the minimum age to rent and drive a car in Hokkaido? And was your rent an automatic or a stick shift?
It is 18 years old the legal minimum age for driving in Hokkaido and we rented an automatic car. Hope that helps!
Bonjour from Quebec, going hiking and Exploring the island for a month.
Searching for that kind of car...for 28 days..how much do you estimate fuel for 300 000 km around the island. Insurance? AND rent... where did you book that car...at the airport or prior? Need a translated or international driving permit ? seems easy to drive on the left side... yes? Your video are perfect for me, thanks ...
Hello 😊 We are glad our video is helpful for you and we will try to answer your questions. Firstly, we rented our car couple of months in advance via Booking.com and with local rental company Budget by Japan. We picked up our car at the airport and you need an international drivers license/permit to drive in Japan. It was pretty easy to drive and we mostly drove country roads. We stayed off the highways because we wanted to see the countryside but it's also pretty expensive to go on an expressway. However, to give you an advice from our own experience, make sure you fuel night before if you are planning to drive early morning because most of the gas stations around the island open later (8 - 9 am) For estimating the costs it is very hard to say since the value of Yen keeps changing but everything in Japan is relatively cheaper so if you know the price of a full tank of gas you can change it into Yen and see how much it would cost but for us we did not worry about it too much. Hope you have a great trip and enjoy the beautiful island of Hokkaido!!
Ahhhh merci!!!! That was nice to answer so quickly...I am booking a Toyota corolla, 28 days from Chisose, $40 canadien per day. Thanks, and I won't take highways...!!! May be sleeping in my car...18 septembre to 24 octobre..
Yahooooo
@@suzannecardinal3990 sounds like a fun trip 😊 Enjoy!!
Which month was this video taken?
We visited Hokkaido from May 22-26, 2023
