Rules

• Driving in Japan: bring an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. Licenses from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan can instead be used with an official Japanese translation. Licenses from mainland China cannot be used to drive in Japan.

• First, you choose your trip's goal (Kita no Mori is recommended). Choosing Kita no Mori (RV Park Moving Inn Tokachi Kita no Mori, in Taiki Town) means arriving there is the finish, and it becomes a "luxury trip" — staying at Kita no Mori and taking day trips around the area every day. Nights stayed max out at 7, set according to your number of vacation days. Destinations are only places confirmed on each facility's official page, so places closed on holidays or for winter won't come up. After the luxury trip, you can choose to head back to New Chitose Airport or keep touring. Lodging cost is the price shown on the booking site (from ¥45,343 for one adult), and the ¥300,000 finish-line celebration bonus is in-game money.
• When January comes, you get a winter bonus of ¥1,000,000 (in-game money, once a year).
• Weather changes day by day. The start and end of the snow season are based on the Japan Meteorological Agency's normal-year averages for the nearest point. On snowy days, driving time is counted at 1.25x to allow extra margin (an in-game estimate). Hokkaido has no rainy season, so June doesn't see much rain either.
• Classic local specialties are GET just by eating them. If it's that town's specialty, it also goes into your specialty book.
• The Grand Touring Card (3 dice) is said to be at some far-off cape in Hokkaido. Getting there takes a big detour.
• There are 21 trip stamps in all: the 12 marked towns on the map (just arriving is enough — you get it even passing through), ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO, Powder Snow, and 7 hot springs. Collect them all for ¥200,000 (in-game money). Stamps are a game feature.
• You move forward the number of spaces shown on the dice. Each day you can drive up to 200km of road distance, within a 9-hour time budget (driving time is the real road travel time). If you'd go over, you stay at the RV Park on the space partway there, and the day count advances accordingly. For safe driving, this limit is never relaxed, even in winter.
• In winter, you can also detour to experiences like ski resorts, drift-ice cruises, dog sledding, and smelt fishing. Experience fees are each facility's official rates; ski costs are an in-game estimate.
• In the morning, if there's a detour spot nearby, you can choose it. The round-trip distance and time are measured on real roads, and the visit itself takes 1 hour. Detouring adds memories, which change your final title.
• While driving, you take a 20-minute break at a roadside station (michi-no-eki) along the route every 80km (drawn from the official Kita no Michi-no-Eki list of Hokkaido roadside stations).
• At sightseeing spots, you sometimes end up spending several hours there. That pushes back your departure the next day. If you pass through a town with a local specialty along the way, you might end up having lunch and using up an hour.
• Lunch and dinner are eaten every day. The 1-hour lunch break counts against your daily time budget. In towns with a local specialty, you'll eat that specialty.
• You stay at the RV Park on the space you land on, paying the one-night rate (the cheapest rate shown on the official site or listing page; for Kita no Mori, the rate is per adult). You won't stay at inns with no published rate.
• Fuel cost is an in-game estimate, calculated from the road distance driven at 8km/L fuel economy and ¥170 per liter.
• From December to March, you'll follow a winter route — a loop linking only inns that stay open through winter, with every leg kept to 200km or less per day (based on each facility's winter operating details). You won't stay at inns closed for the winter season. The route enters Donan from Kutchan via National Route 5, and returns via Date's Yumoto Horohoro Sanso (Yu-You Park; open year-round, though staying there requires a Kuruma Tabi Club membership card).
• The board is a mesh of roads centered on New Chitose Airport: a western loop (Sapporo and Donan) and an eastern loop (Dohoku and Doto — north and east Hokkaido), with a coastal road (Hidaka and Erimo) added in summer, a coastal road from the northern Sea of Japan to Soya and the Okhotsk coast in July and August, and from May to October the Sea of Japan coast of southern Hokkaido (Iwanai, Setana, Esashi and Kikonai) and a road from Kutchan past Rusutsu and Lake Toya to Muroran. Route options that take a coastal road are marked “🌊 Along the coast.” If you stay by Lake Toya, fireworks go up over the lake that night (Lake Toya Long-Run Fireworks). At forks you can go whichever way you like (you can't double back the way you came).
• After the roll, you can compare every route you can travel with that number and pick one. The route closest to your destination is marked "Shortest Route" (distances and times — including the reverse direction — are measured on real roads).
• Choose a vacation length (7, 10, or 14 days) for a "X-Day Vacation Showdown." Make it back to New Chitose Airport by the last day of your vacation to finish. Destinations are chosen from spaces you can reach and return from within your vacation. As the deadline nears, your destination switches to New Chitose Airport.
• Resting at a roadside station sometimes gets you a card (hand holds up to 4). Long Drive Card = roll 2 dice; Slow Card = roll only 1–3; Free Detour Card = your next detour's fuel cost and fee are ¥0; Destination Change = re-pick your destination. Using a card never changes the 200km, 9-hour daily limit.
• In towns where you stay, you can buy that town's specialty (confirmed via each town's official/public introduction; prices are an in-game estimate). Specialties you buy go into your specialty book, and collecting every one in a subprefecture completes it. There's a settlement each time the month changes, giving a memory bonus of ¥30,000 per region completed and ¥2,000 per specialty.
• Towns you drive through get a light color on the map, and towns where you stay get a deeper one. Drive through every town a road reaches in a subprefecture to complete its map. At each monthly settlement, you also get a ¥30,000 bonus per completed map. Municipal shapes were created by processing National Land Numerical Information (Administrative Areas data) from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
• Your destination is decided by a roulette spin each time you arrive. Passing through your destination makes you stop there and earn an arrival bonus. The bonus increases on your 2nd and 3rd laps.
• Returning to New Chitose Airport completes one lap. You can keep going straight into lap two. Even if your cash on hand hits ¥0, the trip continues.
• Event months shown are typical years' timing. Check each official website for the actual dates.
