Hi there, i'm booking my pow trip and even if i read tons of info on the forum i still have some question.
First, last year i went 30 days in Niseko, had a blast, literally, met good friends, hiked the Yotei and a couple more peaks... So i want to get back!
At the same time, i feel it's time to walk away from the paved road.
So here's the deal: i have 40 days, starting from 12th of January and i wanna spend 30 days in Niseko, while 10 somewhere else. If i stay in Niseko for 30 days i can save money on accomodation, i got a special offer from a guest house. I'm traveling solo, so i'd like to avoid renting a car, it would kill my budget (and i need money for my AK trip in late march, so i really can't invest more).
Do you think a tour in central Hokkaido is doable without a car? I was thinking about Asahidake but it looks hard to get the best out of it without a guide. Or staying in Asahikawa and moving around, but i think you need a car, and then comes the budget limit...
Any other suggestion for central Hokkaido without a car?
