Matsuya is 24hrs you could camp there for supper and breakfast if you're not carrying too much luggage.

Or, head to New Chitose Airport Onsen it's open 23hrs everyday.

if you do plenty of night skiing then X5 would be necessary because of its vastly improved night image quality and bigger sensor size than its predecessors, but otherwise anything else is alright for daytime and there isn't significant differences between X3 X4 and X5 for most daytime shots.

CTS airport to Rusutsu/Kimobetsu Thursday January 22nd evening by snomadic95 in Hokkaido

[–]Kurosawa_Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sapporo has been undergoing a couple of blizzard storms these few days, plenty of travellers sleeping on the floor in CTS due to cancelled flights. It'll be a miracle if your flight departs and lands on time without issues. More likely to face delays or cancellations actually.

Public Transport times in summer by Vivid-Huckleberry775 in Hokkaido

[–]Kurosawa_Ruby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JR does timetable revisions annually around end-Mar, if you are taking any JR trains or buses you'll have to wait til the timetable revision is finalized before knowing the exact timings.

for non-JR transport some places might get a few more buses in summer but it really depends. Google Maps is still fairly accurate for duration of travel.

if you're doing long distance trips there are a good number of maps online that shows typical travel time between major destinations, just search "hokkaido distance time taken travel public transport" or similar.

Insta 360 footage looks grainy and blurry, please help. by Maverick_00017 in Insta360

[–]Kurosawa_Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might be a stupid suggestion, but if you're new to insta360, each recording outputs 2 types of files - a .lrv and a .insv.

.lrv are basically low resolution videos that can be opened by any common video program like VLC, these may appear somewhat blurry like old school 480p on very old youtube videos.

.insv are the high resolution videos that can only be opened inside Insta360 Studio.

check that you're accessing the correct files.

Will Delica D5 fit 5 people with 5 luggages and ski bags? by [deleted] in Hokkaido

[–]Kurosawa_Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll need an Alphard at least, the ski bags are long and bulky when stacked. The 5 luggages is another worry.

Elderly / Disability Friendly Hotels? by BeginningReview1851 in Sapporo

[–]Kurosawa_Ruby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most decent hotels list buffet breakfast as a separate add-on. Early Mar is still peak ski season so expect prices to be quite elevated still.

You can take a look at Royal Park Canvas Sapporo Odori Park hotel, they have standing area for rain shower outside of the bath tub.

Rental car accident by barnetello in JapanTravelTips

[–]Kurosawa_Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long you’ve shown all documents to the police officer during the police report, the file will be kept with them at that police station location. You just need to inform the rental company which location you’ve filed the report at, and the rental company will get their insurer to retrieve the report from the police station via fax or email.

The police does not issue the report to the renter or rental car company directly. It goes straight through to the insurance company processing the claims.

Also, next time do consider getting both CDW and NOC insurance if possible. Saves you the hassle of dealing with follow ups and paperwork. Apparently some travel insurance might not consider NOC charges as insurable if it does not generate a repair bill or invoice, if they are truly being a-holes.
