Planning a Hokkaido itinerary from scratch is harder than it looks. The island is about the size of Austria, the towns you've heard of (Sapporo, Niseko, Furano) are hours apart by design, and most "7-day Hokkaido itinerary" articles online recycle the same three cities without ever explaining the driving reality. This planner exists to fix that β a free tool that builds a ready-to-drive route for you in under a minute.
Tell it three things: how many days you have (5, 7 or 10), what you're actually here for (food, nature, hot springs, wildlife, snow, or cities and culture β pick as many as you like, or none for a balanced default), and which season you're arriving in. The planner then builds a Hokkaido itinerary that starts and ends at New Chitose Airport, the way almost every real trip does, and sequences stops so you're never backtracking across the island for a photo.
Every itinerary comes with an interactive route map, day-by-day drive times (estimated β always double-check with a map app before you actually drive), overnight towns, and links into our own field guides for the places worth slowing down for. It won't out-plan a Hokkaido-based travel agent, but it will save you the three open tabs and a spreadsheet most first-time visitors end up with. Build your Hokkaido itinerary below, then email or bookmark the link β it's fully shareable, so the whole car can see the same plan.
