Experience three different sides of Hokkaido in one private multi-day vehicle itinerary: Otaru’s historic port atmosphere, the countryside landscapes of Furano and Biei, and the wildlife of Asahiyama Zoo.
Day 1 combines your arrival transfer with Otaru sightseeing, allowing you to start exploring Hokkaido immediately instead of booking a separate airport transfer and Otaru day trip.
Day 2 connects Furano and Biei, where attractions are spread across a large rural area. Private transportation makes it easier to move between flower fields, Biei countryside, Blue Pond and other selected locations.
Day 3 combines Asahiyama Zoo with direct airport transportation, reducing the need to return to Sapporo after sightseeing.
The itinerary is suitable for families, couples, small groups, and larger private groups who prefer door-to-door transportation and do not want to manage luggage across multiple train and bus connections.
