Sounds very attractive to me.
Thought about combining it with a ski-trip in Japan, but rejecting it after checking out the climate and seasonal ski lift operations. Ski areas in Hokkaido are famous for powder skiing, but the season for that is regularly only in January / February.
I‘m interested in the Do very much, but can‘t fix my plans ahead so far.
Please count me in as a Maybe.

Unfortunately, my status has now changed to "Not attending". Flights were just not working for me and decided to do a different do instead (SIN DO) where everything lined up perfectly. Hope to join another Japan DO in a few years. Have fun everyone.

About time.
This is due.
I thought we would go here back in 2016 when we wound up going to Tokyo again; and I learned about it when I was (going to) refer a Tokyo-Sapporo transit W-WW site here.
I passed on Okinawa. Mostly because I did not want to have to schedule another flight from Tokyo to there.
There is still a train line running from Tokyo to Sapporo. I'll definitely look at that. {Hyperdia will provide you with options for even this route!}
Here is what Tokyo Cheapo scribed back in July 2016 on how to go from Tokyo to Sapporo.
This may be late enough in the season that I can still go to Cinema Wasteland in Cleveland, OH. and be refreshed enough to go to Japan also.
Look (or do not) for more posts from me on this thread. Sapporo is definitely a part of Japan that I want to view.
