I am afraid that the ferry is currently out of operation, and it looks like it won't resume operation before June. But the ferry is not the easiest nor cheapest way of travel anyway! You should fly there (tickets to Hokkaido are usually available from around 10,000 yen one way) and send the bicycle by delivery service (I think around 2000 yen).

As for safety, the biggest threat to your health will be road traffic.

yes, use airplane "skymark" 2011/5/25 01:19
ferry is not working right now.
i agree, i recommend to use skymark.
it costs less than 12000 for one way flight.

i think this is the cheapest way to reach hokkaido.
