My husband, my almost 5 yo son and I will go to Japan (May30-June16). We had gone to Japan couple times but never went north. Would like advice on our itinerary. No driving. JR only.
Day1-Arriving at Narita after 11 hours flight. Will stay at an airport hotel to rest.
Day2-From Narita to Nyuto. I believe it will take 4 hours of JR and 50 mins of bus. Is that a bit too much traveling on one day?
Day3-Nyuto onsen-would like to stay one more day to enjoy onsen. Any good suggestion on day trip nearby?
Day4-5-Sendai; will visit Matsushima. Is this enough time? Any other suggestions in Sendai?
Day6-Hakodate-we know it will be more than 5 hours travel. Will stay at a pension and enjoy dinner there. Likely will not do too much today.
Day7-Hakodate-morning market; Motomachi area? Shopping?
Day8-Day trip to Yunokawa onsen. Does it worth a day trip? To Mount Hakodate in the evening.
Day9-To Noboribetsu. Day10-Noboribetsu-day trip to Toya
Day11-Sapporo Day12-Sapporo-day trip to Otaru Dat13-Sapporo-day trip to Furano-any flowers to view yet? We don't want to haul the luggage to Furano and our only interest is to Tomia farm.
Day14-Not sure what to do today. Will check out from the hotel and wait to catch the night train to Tokyo. Any suggestions? Sapporo beer factory?
Day15-Tokyo Day16-Tokyo
Day17-Back to US
Please give your suggestions. Thank you!

Day2-From Narita to Nyuto. I believe it will take 4 hours of JR and 50 mins of bus. Is that a bit too much traveling on one day?I guess it depends on the person. It would be no problem for me. Day3-Nyuto onsen-would like to stay one more day to enjoy onsen. Any good suggestion on day trip nearby?Lake Tazawa and Kakunodate. Day4-5-Sendai; will visit Matsushima. Is this enough time? Any other suggestions in Sendai?Yes, a full day is enough! Day6-Hakodate-we know it will be more than 5 hours travel.The following order makes better sense in terms of geography: Narita - Tokyo - Matsushima - Nyuto - Hakodate! Day8-Day trip to Yunokawa onsen. Does it worth a day trip?Yunokawa is INSIDE the city of Hakodate! You don't need a full day to visit Yunokawa. If you have time, I recommend to visit Onuma Park: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5356.htmlDay9-To Noboribetsu. Day10-Noboribetsu-day trip to ToyaToya is west of Noboribetsu. It makes better sense to visit Toya on your way from Hakodate to Noboribetsu, although, I understand there might be a luggage issue. Furano-any flowers to view yet?Yes, there should be some flowers. But it is too early for the lavender. Day14-Not sure what to do today. Will check out from the hotel and wait to catch the night train to Tokyo. Any suggestions? Sapporo beer factory?Some suggestions: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2163.html
