Road Conditions & Access
Tyres: Studless winter tyres are effectively mandatory December to March. Hire cars include them in winter, but specify 4WD.
Driving: Expect packed snow and ice as the norm. Whiteouts erase visibility and expressways close without much warning in a blizzard, so avoid driving after dark.
Live closures: Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau publishes real-time closures.
