10 days self drive in Hokkaido

[Tohto]

This price look quite attractive for 8 days.  Budget rental book under ToCoo.

But I still prefer to look for SUV like  Forester,  RAV 4 or Harrier. 

RAV 4 or Harrier for 8 days from Toyota Rental will cost around 170k Yen before add on. 😰

For Hokkaido even in the city, driving large SUVs still ok... but not in other large cities on Honshu island though...

Wow that's a very good price.. At first we intended to go end of year, but my wife can't stand the cold, so just decide to go in June.

Most of the available timing for us either a longer transit (more than 1.5 hours) or land at night, which we try to avoid. Anyway the kids and us quite well trained to sleep on flight lol 

Now is to see what car to book or shd we even rent a car at all

Hokķaido is big. To fully exploit Hokkaido especially country side that has limited public transport.  Rental car is the best.  Now Jun is beginning of summer. Driving will be easy.

Buy her Canadian Goose Pakka and she will not have any cold problem

My wife also cannot stand cold.  She took my DAK jacket to London in mid-January.

It is warm enough for her.

She very troublesome dun like to wear those thick jackets although can't take cold that well. ai sui mai mia. 

Last Dec we went Barcelona. I think that is the ideal weather for her 10-20deg.

You're travelling outside the June holiday period I think... last week of June = back to school already according to MOE calendar on their website...

Confirm plus chop rent a car bro... drives on the same side as us, very little traffic outside of the cities... most cost effective and can stop as and when you like... it's really the best option... you're fully in control...
