Because of the constraints of this chat interface, and limitations on automated browsing, I'm not able to provide real-time URL generation or check the most current opening hours and availability of each attraction. However, I can certainly draft a sample itinerary based on a mid-price budget that includes a mix of cultural experiences, family activities, and hidden gems within an area the size of Hokkaido. Please note that for actual travel planning, you would need to verify each attraction's current status and opening hours, as well as generate the Google Maps links yourself using the addresses provided.
