Transport in Hokkaido

definitely worth getting, especially since it also includes the train ride from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo Station. otaru, Royce chocolate factory town, noboribetsu and hill of the Buddha are very interesting sights to see and the train ride to these sights are included in the ticket. and yeah, I love the little ticket holder they gave :)

Easy booking through Klook. Super easy redemption at the airport. Seat reservation: No problem at the machine. But not always necessary, sometimes we just rode in the unreserved car. Staff always very friendly. We used it in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hiroshima. Everything worked out great.

Very easy to claim and friendly staff. information are clear and helpful. seats and stations are clean. easy to navigate.

ride was comfortable, driver seems experienced, view is very nice and aesthetic, charging USB ports available at each seat

JR pass is very convenient and very reliable. You can travel unlimited on all JR trains including Shinkansen. This is a must-have especially to someone like me with difficulty in following cardinal directions. In case you went to a wrong platform, just go until you find the correct platform. You don't need to worry on buying another ticket.

Since it's the off-season, flights from China arrive at the New Chitose Airport domestic terminal. Be aware that a section in between requires you to exit the building. Thankfully, I asked at the information window on the 1st floor (the staff member there spoke Chinese). You need to exit and then find counter #2; a staff member will be there (the blacked-out area in the official website's picture indicates where you can't walk through). For the return trip, there weren't any staff at the hotel, so I asked the hotel staff. They said to just wait for the bus at the entrance. Overall, it was good. Both drivers on the outbound and return trips drove very safely, and there was even a rest stop once.

We had an amazing experience touring Mt. Fuji with David! He was incredibly friendly and kind from the moment he picked us up, and he made the entire day feel relaxed and enjoyable. He created a great itinerary to maximize our day trip and his knowledge of all the best viewpoints and spots around the mountain was very appreciated. We felt well-taken care of the whole time, and the photos we got were unbelievable. Highly recommend touring with David!

Purchasing tickets on the Klook platform is very convenient. You can exchange tickets and reserve seats at the JR New Chitose Airport. If you plan to visit Noboribetsu and Otaru, this pass is definitely worth the price. Highly recommended!

I bought this 6-day Tohoku-South Hokkaido Rail Pass to explore Hokkaido, and it paid for itself with just the round trip from Tokyo to Hakodate, so it's very useful. However, be aware that this pass offers different benefits compared to the 5-day JR East Pass; this 6-day pass doesn't include JR buses. As a result, we had to pay extra for the highway buses from Morioka to Miyako and from Kuji to Ninohe, which wasn't cheap.
