If you're thinking of traveling between cities, especially from Hakodate to Sapporo, this is a great deal. Just the round trip is almost the cost of the pass, and the remaining days are a bonus. This time, there's a bundled ticket: the "Have fun in Hokkaido Pass," which lets you choose 3 locations for 4xx baht, which is about 2000 yen. It's very cheap. You can enter participating locations and get discounts. For the first location, we chose Asahiyama Zoo, but you have to exchange the ticket at Asahikawa Station. They'll give you a package of tickets. There's an Information & Product Center on the far right side of the station (opposite AEON Mall). The entry fee is 1000 yen + a food discount ticket for 800 yen for cafes or restaurants in the zoo or around the zoo, because we also used it at a cafe outside (across from the zoo) + a 10% discount coupon for restaurants or gift shops in that area. It's worth it. The second location was Sapporo TV Tower, with an entry fee of 1000 yen. We were going to go to the third location (Mount Moiwa, the ropeway costs 2200 yen), but we didn't because we were tired and there was a snowstorm on the day we were going to go. But it was still worth the cost of the ticket.

My experience taking the Niseko Ski Resort - New Chitose Airport - Sapporo shuttle bus was very smooth. The meeting time and location provided by Klook before departure were clear, and the driver arrived on time that day. Luggage placement and headcount confirmation were efficient and very friendly for skiers. The ride was stable, and even on snowy roads, the driver seemed experienced, allowing for a restful nap. For first-timers to Niseko who don't want to transfer via JR or move with ski equipment, this shuttle option is really time-saving and effortless. Overall, it's a great value, and I would choose it again for future ski trips and recommend it to friends. Price: Pass Coverage:

The waiting counter is on the left-hand side as soon as you exit customs, so it's easy to find. Although the shuttle bus frequency is relatively low, we took advantage of the time between exiting customs and boarding the bus to take a quick look around the domestic terminal. Taking the shuttle bus means you don't have to drag your suitcase on the JR train. I will definitely book the shuttle bus in advance next time I go to Hoshino.

When planning your itinerary, calculate whether the JR Pass is cost-effective for taking the Shinkansen and trains. For subways, trains, and buses, you'll need a Suica card, which is also convenient! You don't have to buy tickets before each trip on the Shinkansen, and you'll also need to buy reserved seats for the Shinkansen! The JR Pass can be used as a single card, which is very convenient for visiting various remote attractions!

We booked a ride from the Westin back to the airport, but it turned out to be worth a day trip. The return journey was along the side of Lake Shikotsu, the weather was fantastic, and Mount Yotei was fully visible. The shadows of the trees, like an old film reel, were so beautiful that you didn't want to blink. It was so worth it.

Thank you to our guide, Risa (or perhaps Lisa?) from Qingdao, for leading us. The whole trip was very smooth, also thanks to the punctuality of the group members and the driver's snow driving skills. This Sapporo trip was a wish come true for me. I've wanted to come for ten years, but various reasons meant I didn't have the chance until I was in my 40s. When planning the itinerary, places like Lake Toya and the Ice Waterfall Festival were really hard to reach without driving. Luckily there's Klook. I used Klook in Okinawa before to get to many places, and it didn't disappoint this time either. Although I was the only Hong Kong man in the whole group, the overall experience was excellent. Thank you to everyone for making my trip so fulfilling.

We had a wonderful time guided by Alex, who is very fluent in English. He seems to have visited Noboribetsu many times, as the knowledge he shared during the trip helped us greatly and allowed us to save a lot of time when visiting each place on the itinerary. From the recommended foods to the popular local products, to shopping guides at Mitsui Outlet ,we were very happy with everything. The trip is truly worth trying, and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

Had a great time, understand we were the 1st to tryout this new day trip with my wife and we were solo with our guide Grace and driver Liu. It was wonderful to dip our feet on the hot springs and our eggs were initially stolen by crows. Lake Toya was a beauty but we couldn't see much of it due to the continuous snow. Interesting also to visit the Hokkaido black bear ranch and the Hell Valley area. This trip will be highly recommended as long as weather is better.
