Most people who travel to Hokkaido go by plane or by overnight sleeper train, but there is another option. Mitsui O.S.K. Lines run large ‘Sunflower’ car ferries between Oarai, Ibaraki and Tomakomai, Hokkaido. This is a good option if you have more time than money, or if you want to take your own vehicle (car or motorcycle).
