Which Hokkaido city works best for a longer stay or remote work trip?

How should I think about getting around between Hokkaido cities?
Stay near the rail hub if you plan to move between cities often. That keeps day trips and intercity travel more practical, while a central location makes it easier to return after dinner or sightseeing. Exact transit access varies, so confirm it in the listing before booking.
