If you fly into Hokkaido at New Chitose Airport and want to enjoy driving and sightseeing in Sapporo, it's easy to plan a trip around Sapporo, Otaru, Yoichi, the surrounding areas of Jozankei and Mt. Yotei, Lake Shikotsu and Shiraoi Upopoy near Chitose, and further on to Noboribetsu Jigokudani and Lake Toya. The longest route is from Sapporo to Lake Toya, which takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes one way, so depending on your itinerary, it may be possible to make a round trip from Sapporo in a day.

1. From New Chitose Airport to Sapporo city via Upopoy and Lake Shikotsu

Upopoy Symbolic Space for Ethnic Coexistence (Shiraoi Town)

This ethnological museum was built on the shores of Lake Poroto with the aim of promoting and spreading Ainu culture. You can learn about Ainu history and culture in detail through visuals, materials, and re-enactments and hands-on exhibits. It also carefully introduces how Ainu culture is being passed down and lives on in modern-day Hokkaido, and you can get a bird's-eye view of the history of Hokkaido as a whole. Inside the museum, there is a shop selling Ainu-related souvenirs and materials (books), and there is a food and drink corner near the entrance gate to the facility, so it is also recommended as a place to take a break during a drive.

Lake Shikotsu (Chitose City)

It is the second deepest lake in Japan and is known as the northernmost lake that never freezes. Not only is the lake itself beautiful, but the majestic Mt. Eniwa, Mt. Fuppushi, and Mt. Tarumae that can be seen beyond it are also spectacular. The unique topography created by an ancient eruption evokes the primeval landscape of Hokkaido, and the beautiful natural formations that give a sense of the workings of the earth and its mystery are worth seeing. There are several types of boats that travel the lake (underwater sightseeing boats, high-speed boats, and pedal boats), but they are not open in winter. If you want to enjoy activities, spring to autumn is recommended. In winter, there are fewer tourists and you can enjoy it at a leisurely pace. If you're looking for a meal, try the specialty chip (a delicious kokanee salmon dish)!

Sapporo city

Head towards Sapporo city via National Route 453. There are mountain roads along the way, so if you are visiting in the winter, make sure to arrange a rental car (4WD/studless/chains) that can handle snowy roads. *Sapporo's driving spots will be introduced in detail later.

Lake Toya (Toyako Town)

After enjoying Noboribetsu to the fullest, why not extend your trip to Lake Toya? Lake Toya is a caldera lake at the foot of Mount Usu, formed by an eruption about 110,000 years ago. There are small islands in the center of the lake (Oshima, Bentenjima, Kannonjima, and Manjujima), which can be accessed by a sightseeing boat. If you drive around Lake Toya, make a detour to Toyamizu-no-Eki and Usuzan Toyako Observatory, and if you have time, enjoy a sightseeing boat, a stroll around the lake, or the long-running fireworks display at night (held from July to October). The sightseeing boat sails between the small islands, giving it a sense of adventure and fun. There are also many hot springs and accommodations, so if you are coming from New Chitose, we recommend staying overnight at Lake Toya.

5. Recommended driving spots in Sapporo

Hokkaido Shrine and Maruyama Park (Chuo Ward)

Hokkaido Daijingu Shrine is loved by Sapporo residents as a spiritual anchor. Why not visit here first to pray for a safe trip to Sapporo? It is also popular as one of Sapporo's most famous power spots. In addition to praying, be sure to take the time to appreciate the magnificent structure of the main hall. Once you're done praying, stop by Rokkatei teahouse on the grounds. It is a standard for Sapporo residents to eat the famous "Hangansama" (freshly made) before heading home, so enjoy it as per local custom. It is normal to just eat 2-3 pieces, so don't be shy. Other sweets can also be purchased separately, so be sure to eat them at your hotel.

Mount Moiwa (Chuo Ward)

This tourist spot is located in Minami-ku, Sapporo, and can be accessed by car or ropeway. On clear days, you can see Ishikari Bay and Mount Ashibetsu, and the night view of the big city of Sapporo is also famous for being one of the three most beautiful night views in Japan. The ropeway base station is about 20 minutes by car from Sapporo city. If you go directly to the observation deck via the tourist road, which is available from spring to autumn, it takes about 30 minutes. In autumn, the autumn leaves are beautiful, so we recommend using the ropeway to get a bird's-eye view. In winter, the snowy scenery is fantastic, so it's well worth braving the cold to visit.

Hiragishi Takadai Park (Toyohira Ward)

Located in a residential area of ​​Toyohira Ward, this park may look ordinary at first glance, but it is actually popular among fans as the location for the opening of Hokkaido's popular variety show "Wednesday Dodesho (HTB)". It is known as a sacred place among "Hanshi (a nickname for Dodesho fans)", and many fans visit the area when they travel to Sapporo. The old HTB building next to the park has already closed, but on-chan (HTB's mascot character, famous for being dressed by actor Yasuda Ken) still stands in one corner of the building, so take a photo of him as a souvenir of your trip to Sapporo. This is a park for locals located in a residential area, so please visit quietly and observe the rules. If you are accessing the park by rental car, there is no parking lot at the park, so please use the paid parking lot near Minami Hiragishi Station.

Hitsujigaoka Observatory, famous for its statue of Dr. Clark, is a classic tourist spot in Sapporo. The view of the Agricultural Research Center grounds (where sheep sometimes graze in summer) and the city of Sapporo from the top of the hill is one of the city's most iconic views. With this beautiful view in the background, why not take a photo with Dr. Clark? Many tourists enjoy taking photos in the same pose as the doctor.

With an open, spacious location facing the sky, it's a tourist spot where you can feel the vast land of Hokkaido with your whole body.

▶Recommended driving spots in the Hakodate area

If you want to enjoy driving and sightseeing with Hakodate as the center, we recommend heading north from Hakodate to Morimachi, or heading southwest to Matsumae. A popular route is one that takes in Hokkaido Komagatake, Onuma Quasi-National Park, Matsumae Castle, and other tourist attractions in Hakodate city.

Goryokaku, famous as the final stage of the Boshin War, is a standard tourist spot for trips to Hakodate. It is a little far from the train station (11 minutes on foot from Goryokaku Koenmae Station), so if you rent a car, it is recommended to access it by car. There is a park inside the fortress, so you can enjoy a stroll or a tour of the magistrate's office. If you want to see the shape of the five peaks, head to Goryokaku Tower outside the fortress. You can get a bird's-eye view of the castle.

Onuma Quasi-National Park

This quasi-national park and special conservation area in Nanae Town is a beautiful tourist spot where Hokkaido's unique natural environment remains.

The tourist base of the Onuma Town area has many tourist facilities such as restaurants, cafes, and craft beer breweries, so after enjoying the scenery, you can enjoy shopping, meals, and snacks. The dumplings at Numa no Ie, a shop in front of Onuma Koen Station, are especially recommended.

Roadside Station "YOU・Yu・Mori" / Oniushi Park

Mori Station/Shibata Shoten

If you want to enjoy Morimachi a little more, why not make a trip to Mori Station? While enjoying the rustic atmosphere and travel mood, it's a good idea to try the famous squid rice at Shibata Shoten in front of the station. The original squid rice ekiben, which is also very popular at product fairs in famous department stores, is sure to leave you with a memorable memory. To commemorate your visit, be sure to take a photo of the Hakodate Main Line running along Funka Bay. We recommend taking a photo around the remains of Mori Pier near the station.

National Route 278 and the roadside station "Shikabe Geyser Park"

Once you've enjoyed Morimachi, drive along National Route 278 with Mt. Komagatake to your side. Continue along the road and you'll come to the roadside station "Shikabe Geyser Park." You can enjoy geysers, foot baths, the finest cod roe, Funka Bay bay scallops, and the famous gokko soup. Another popular service is the enthusiastic cooking of ingredients purchased at the roadside station in a steamer that uses volcanic heat. We recommend processed Shirakuchihama makonbu kelp products as souvenirs.

National Route 228

The road from Hakodate to Matsumae is almost entirely on National Route 228. All the recommended driving spots are along this national route, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. There are many seaside roads along the way, with the Tsugaru Straits to the side, so you can enjoy an exhilarating drive in the spring and summer seasons.

Trappist Monastery and Grotto of Lourdes

This is a Trappist (Cistercian) monastery in Hokuto City. Although it is not possible to visit the inside of the building, the ice cream, Trappist cookies, and butter candy that can be purchased at the Trappist Monastery Dairy Shop are popular as snacks and souvenirs. It is in a beautiful location surrounded by greenery, so we recommend taking a little walk. If you go further into the monastery area, you will find an observation deck called the "Grotto of Lourdes," so if you have time, drop by. If the weather is good, you can see a mystical and magnificent view.

Satsukari Murakami Moss Phlox Garden

This moss phlox is located along National Route 228, which passes through Kikonai Town. It is managed and maintained by a private individual, but is carefully cared for, and many people visit to see the beautiful moss phlox in full bloom during the flowering season.

Matsumae Yagoshi Prefectural Natural Park

This is the southernmost point of Hokkaido, located along National Route 228. Other than the spectacular view of the Tsugaru Strait, there is only a stone monument, so it's worth stopping by just to take in the amazing scenery.

Matsumae Park (Matsumae Castle) and the roadside station "Kitamaebune Matsumae"

This is a historical park that includes the ruins of Matsumae Castle, the castle tower, and the temple town. It is also known as a famous spot for cherry blossoms in spring and hydrangeas in early summer.

There are many restaurants lined up, but the sea urchin bowls, salmon roe bowls, and seafood bowls at Uni Murakami and Kikuyo Shokudo, and the squid dishes at Live Squid Fishing Pond are particularly popular. If you've had enough seafood, we recommend a quick meal at Lucky Pierrot, the soul fast food of southern Hokkaido.

Other than food, we also recommend miscellaneous goods such as letter sets, hand-knitted handicrafts, eco-bags and necklaces. You cannot enter the building, but you can feel the sacred atmosphere just by strolling around the outside, including the gardens and angel statues.

Hakodate Kosetsuen and Miharashi Park

Hakodate Kosetsuen is also known as the Scenic Kyu-Iwafune Garden.

Cape Tatematsu

A cape jutting out into the Tsugaru Strait in the southeast of Hakodate City, this scenic spot is popular with tourists. In the past, a battery was built here to monitor foreign ships.

There is a shop on the premises, so if you get hungry during your walk, try taking a break. You can purchase whelk skewers, grilled corn, fried potatoes, soft drinks, and more.

This commercial facility is located among a group of warehouses built around 1869, and is popular for its location that perfectly matches the atmosphere of Hakodate's port. In December, Christmas-themed light-ups and fireworks are planned, and if it snows, you can enjoy a beautiful and fantastical space. If you're asking whether to visit during the day or at night, we recommend visiting at night, so why not use it as a stopover to see the night view from Mt. Hakodate?

Motomachi Park and the surrounding slopes

Motomachi Park, located on the slope at the foot of Mt. Hakodate, is a Western-style park built on the site of the former Hakodate Magistrate's Office. The park offers a beautiful view of Hakodate's cityscape and the sea, making it a popular tourist spot. After seeing the Old Hakodate Branch Office, the Kaitakushi Book Library, and the Four Heavenly Kings statues, try strolling along the "hillside" scenery around the park. The famous Hachimanzaka is a popular photo spot with its view stretching straight out to Hakodate Bay. The Motozaka Road, Higashi-Misaka, and Chacha Nobori in front of Motomachi Park are also quite picturesque. Hachimanzaka is beautiful during the day on a clear day, but at night it transforms into a fantastic sight, so why not visit it as part of your trip to see the night view of Mt. Hakodate?

Mount Hakodate

Mt. Hakodate is popular for the beautiful view from the summit. Many travelers visit here as it is the highlight of their trip to Hakodate. It is nice to visit during the day, but if possible, we recommend visiting at night to see the night view of Hakodate. The lights of the port city of Hakodate are so fantastical and beautiful that they are sometimes called one of the three greatest night views in the world. Mt. Hakodate can be accessed by ropeway, but it is only open until 9 p.m., so if you are arriving later in the day, you should drive to the observation deck at the summit. However, depending on the season and time of day, the road may be closed, so be sure to check the official tourist information of Hakodate City before deciding how to get there.
