To avoid the golden week traffic jam in Central Hokkaido, which way should I drive towards?
Posted on May 26th, 2010 by admin
My starting point in Sapporo, should I drive towards biei or hakkodate to avoid the jam?
Since no one will go to Biei at that time of the year, go there but really it will be a wasted trip as there is nothing to see. Nothing is green and the fields are just barren. There will be a lot of traffic though towards Hakodate, most of the time the highway has only one lane, so you can’t even get out. It is the worst place to go during GW and all the hotels are always full. Make sure you have a reservation. I had to drive around until 1am to get a room at a motel once and was stuck in traffic for about 6 hours.

No one knows which streets will be congested until we are on that specific day.
