Hokkaido maple viewing trip, self-driving tour in central and southern Hokkaido, pick up the car in Sapporo, drive all the way south to the distant Hakodate, and start a 6-day, 5-night maple viewing self-driving tour.

✓Must-visit attractions:
#Lake Toya is a famous hot spring scenic area with maple trees on the lakeshore. You can overlook Mt. Yotei in the distance. You can also take a boat trip on the lake with the beautiful hot spring scenery. There is also a lakeside fireworks festival in summer, which is beautiful.

#Onuma Quasi-Park is a must-go on the way to Hakodate. It is a lakeside wetland composed of Onuma and Konuma. It has rich natural ecology and a lakeside trail, which is very suitable for outings or cycling.

#函館山夜景 The night view of Mt. Hakodate, known as the million-dollar night view, can be seen by taking a cable car up the mountain. On the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Hakodate Bay, which is brightly lit and very beautiful.

#Goryokaku Park The famous five-pointed star castle. You can see the five-pointed star more clearly when you climb up to the observation deck. Cherry blossoms and maple leaves are planted along the moat. When the flower season arrives, there is a dreamy and beautiful feeling.

#二世谷 is a famous ski resort in Hokkaido. I didn’t expect that Niseko in autumn is so beautiful. The golden deciduous trees dye the mountains and forests into a yellow, and there is Mt. Yotei as the background. It is beautiful.

#定山溪温泉 Less than an hour's drive from Sapporo, this is a famous spot for viewing maple leaves and taking a hot spring bath. The autumn colors dye the entire mountain valley red and yellow, which is quite magnificent. It is most romantic to view the maple leaves on the Futami Gorge Red Bridge.
