Hi guys, hoping for some feedback on my itinerary (mid Sep 2025). I'll be travelling with my parents who are in their late 60s.

Day 1: Land in Chitose

  • Check-in to hotel near Sapporo train station
  • Susukino in the afternoon
  • Ramen for dinner

Day 2 (Otaru) - NB: Respect for Aged Day

  • Rent a car for the rest of the trip
  • Explore Otaru
  • Nikka distillery
  • Cape Kamui
  • Return to Sapporo

Day 3 (Lake Toya)

  • Check out of hotel
  • Drive down to Lake Toya
  • Lake Hill Farm
  • Orchards
  • Check in to hotel in Toya
  • Watch fireworks

Day 4 (Hakodate)

  • Check out of hotel
  • Showa-Shinzan
  • Funkawan Bay
  • Onuma Park
  • Check in to hotel in Hakodate

Day 5 (Hakodate)

  • Morning market
  • Ropeway
  • Star fort

Day 6 (Sapporo)

  • Check out of hotel
  • Drive to Noboribetsu
  • Return car
  • Shopping for souvenirs in Sapporo
  • Check in to hotel in Sapporo

Day 7

  • Fly home

Now, we really like nature, mountains, cliffs etc. But September doesnt seem ideal for Furano. I also don't think we can hike very much (no longer than 1.5 hour with minimal ascent), so I've ruled out Daisetsuzan.

Feedback or suggestions of any kind (especially Japanese food) are appreciated!
