TOPO

This cycling route from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo City goes via the Kita-Hiroshima/Chitose plains, and links up with the Sapporo-Eniwa Cycling Road. The cycling road doesn't go all the way from/to Eniwa City yet. But there is a decent 20km section that runs from Kita-Hiroshima Station most of the way into central Sapporo City. It is a 20km separated, paved railtrail that changes names multiple times as you pass through different jurisdictions. In Sapporo City it is known as the Shiroishi Cycling Road. Expect plenty of onsen (hotspring) options along the way, as well as local produce and rural farming vistas.
