βοΈ Winter Self-Drive Trip in Hokkaido π
Every year I travel in Japan, but this is my first time in Hokkaido. I started planning half a year in advance, and my significant other (npy) praised theζ»η₯ and itinerary as awesome. Friends are all asking for my travel plan. πΊοΈ ποΈ Itinerary Day 1 - Kuala Lumpur βοΈ Taoyuan Day 2 - Taoyuan βοΈ Hokkaido New Chitose Airport (After arrival, pick up the car and head straight to Noboribetsu) The hotel I booked was secured half a year in advance because there's only one room with a private onsen. After checking in, we soaked in the hot spring, and since the hotel includes dinner, we didn't go out. Day 3 - Noboribetsu β‘οΈ Sapporo Noboribetsu Jigokudani Date Jidai Mura Toya Lake (Had lunch at mogmog curry) Niseko Ski Resort (Checked in at LV Mongolian Yurt) Headed to Sapporo (Food recommendations in Tanuki-koji: Genghis Khan BBQ, Garaku Soup Curry, Ichiran, Shorin, Picante, Nemuro Genroku Hana must-try!)
