Advice on Hokkaido itinerary in mid July 2014/6/3 09:26
Hello,

I and my wife are going to have a visit in Hokkaido from July 9 to July 15. After reviewing a tons of guides I have come to this itinerary for our travel. I would be very grateful if you can give us comments and suggestion on it.

Apart from your kind advice on the doability of this itinerary I also have some other questions:

One another point is that we are both students and want to have a budget travel. We are thinking to stay in camps for almost all the trip. But the problem is that since we are coming by a LCC flight we cannot bring most of required goods for outdoor (such as ice box, Sleeping roll, tent and etc.). Can we find any suitable place to rent those items(preferably close to New Chitose airport, as we are renting a car from there)? Or do you have any other suggestion how we can have/rent them?
