Sadly I won't have much time to prepare for this trip, ,I'm going to look at everything you posted, ideally I want a mix of city & nature & would love to do a bike tour maybe or just rent a bike & discover for myself.
How much is a 5 day JR pass?
Are you arriving and departing from New Chitose Airport near Sapporo? If so, there is a JR Hokkaido Rail Pass that is 22,000 yen for the 5-day Pass. It is good on all JR Hokkaido trains EXCEPT the shinkansen (bullet train.) It can be purchased at home before you leave for Japan or upon arrival.
