Over the next decade, I visited Hokkaido six or seven times, covering almost all its major tourist destinations. Except for winter trips, all my journeys were self-drive adventures. Hokkaido is vast, making it impossible to explore everything in one trip, so multiple visits are necessary. For first-time visitors to Hokkaido, I recommend focusing on the central region, with Sapporo as the base, and exploring key attractions like Otaru, Furano, Biei, Noboribetsu Onsen, and Lake Toya. If time permits, you can also include Hakodate in the southern region.
