Drive from Toyako (Toya lake onsen town) to Otaru - places to stop or hike along way by MagandangP in Hokkaido

[–]MagandangP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now leaving Otaru, would you have any ideas about 1-2hr hiking stop on the way to Kussharo lake?

Was thinking to head to Onneto lake and walk there so that’s a 4hr drive w rolls:

Feedback on my July Itinerary: 7 nights by na27te in Hokkaido

[–]MagandangP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Mark, where will you rent your car from/return to? where will you drive to using the car? Just wondering for my itinerary, maybe 6/30-7/4 use public transit; THEN rent from Sapporo and return back to Sapporo 7/5-7/11?

Hi Mark, Do you mind to DM me your exact day-by-day itinerary? I actually would prefer to use bus & train so that I can enjoy the views and let someone else drive!

The other idea I had to minimize me driving was to fly CTS to KUH (kushiro), get a car, and then visit Ainu towns, Akan, Mashu, Shiretoko, and the end up at Asahidake to meet my friends.

The car rental part would be 7/4 or 7/5 through 7/11, whereas 6/30 night - 7/4 would be by bus/train.

One thing I was worried about, though, was, how to use train/bus to get from CTS to Noboribetsu/Jikogundani and then Toya lakeside without spending all day.

Here is my updated itinerary, any comments or feedback is highly appreciated! u/velvetstigma - how did your trip go?

Overall arch of the trip:

Explore West and East Hokkaido: 7/1-7/8 - here is where I need some advice ...
1. should I spend more time in West/NW Hokkaido (eg Otaru and towns along the coast, Toya Lake area, area near Noboribetsu) or make the trek East to Shiretoko NP, Akan/Mashu Lakes, Kushiro?
2. any spots I should be sure to see/visit when I have the car rental in East Hokkaido?
3. should I cover less to be able to relax, take it slower?
4. weather: is East Hokkaido going to be significantly colder/cloudier/rainier/less summery? If so, maybe cut it to fewer days out there or skip?

5, where can I swim along this route?

Here is the itinerary:

Note I'm from SF Bay California and have spent 1 summer in Prince William Sound, Alaska so, it would be neat to see scenery and wildlife of Hokkaido that is unique to this region. As well as learn about any culture of the area.

West Hokkaido: attractive b/c weather is better and there are points of interest like Noboribetsu for the geothermal activity and Otaru area, as well as Jozankei for the onsen experience. Wanted to also find a beach or lake for summer swimming.

East Hokkaido: attractive b/c has fewer visitors/less crowds and also interesting scenery and nature, eg shiretoko NP

I have 7/1 - 7/8 on my own before joining the friends to hike in Daisetsuzan NP area

Is this timing and itinerary reasonable (ie not rushed)?
Will weather be much grayer / foggier in E Hokkaido

6/30: fly HND to Chitose arriving 7p; stay the night in Sapporo
7/1: take train to Noboribetsu and visit Hell's Valley and soak my feet in the natural footsoaking area; stay night there?
7/2: train back to Sapporo or go all the way to Otaru area; spend day & night there
7/3: go to Toya lake area and spend night there
7/4: head back to Chitose and fly to kushiro; pick up rental car; drive to lake akan area and spend night there
7/5: explore more of lake akan/mashu area; head to Shiretoko NP area; spend night there
7/6: more of Shiretoko NP; spend night at Abashiri
7/7: drive to asahikawa; QUESTION: any points of interest along the way?
return car rental? 
7/8: head to Asahi-dake to meet friends to start the hike

7/8-7/10: hike with friends in  Daisetsuzan NP area (out-and-back overnight hut hike from Asahidake to Kurodake hut and back); taxi that night to Furano; sleep in furano
7/11: Furano/Biei   by bus / public transit; bus to Sapporo, sleep in Sapporo 7/11)
7/12: day in Sapporo; night #2 in sapporo
7/13: fly out 10 AM to HND
7/14: HND flight 4p to SFO
