Strongly agree to that point, you probably will spend like a day in Furano and then maybe 2 in Sapporo. There really isn't that much to see there, unless you really want to venture out of the toursit hot spot then I can't really comment since I never been anywhere outside of Furano and Sapporo.
Furano is nice but it get boring after an hour or so. While Sapporo, well, just another big city like Tokyo...
Just putting a schedule on the top of my head, this is how I will attack a 24 day trip plan, not including the alps since i know nothing about it
- Kyushu - 2 days (Optional)
- Hiroshima/Miyajima - 1 day
- Shikoku - 1 day
- Himeji 1 day
- Kobe 1 day (Optional)
- Osaka 2 days
- Sakai 1 day (Optional)
- Kyoto/Nara - 3 days
- Atami/Odarwara/Hakone - 2 days
- Yokohama - 1 day
- Tokyo - 5 days
- Nikko 1 day
- Hokkaido 2 days
For Kyushu and Shikoku, I think what will interest you is just the Transportation, the ride from Okayama station is pretty interesting to both places, I know some people who would just take the train from Okayama to both places, hop across platform and come right back, just to experieince the ride. So if you are to do that, you shave sometime there too, since you probably can do both places in half a day or so if you plan your route accordingly
