This is a good guide book for Hokkaido. 北海道雪山ガイド―北海道スノーハイキング姉妹編 The ISBN is 9784894533967. The book is in Japanese. It describes the routeand gives a topo and the name of the topos. It also gives a rating by difficulty as well as the time it takes. I do not speak or read Japanese But I can generally decipher enough of the info.
