Transport i Hokkaido

I used the JR Hokkaido Furano Pass during my summer trip, and it was definitely worth it. It made traveling between Furano, Biei, and Asahikawa easy without buying separate tickets. The trains were clean, comfortable, and always on time. The scenery was the best part. Every ride offered beautiful views of flower fields, forests, rivers, and mountains, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. The pass also gave me the freedom to explore without worrying about transportation costs. The only downside is that train services in rural Hokkaido are limited, so careful planning is necessary. Some attractions are also a bit far from the stations and may require a bus, bicycle, or a longer walk. Overall, the JR Hokkaido Furano Pass offers great value and is a convenient way to experience the beauty of central Hokkaido. I would happily use it again.

very sulit! very hassle free... reserving seats is easy ... the ticket holder is nice and very well thought.

Jeg elsker hvor praktisk JR-passet er, da det kobler sammen alle interessante steder via Shinkansen. Det blir bare dyrere og dyrere... nyhetene rapporterte at prisen vil øke igjen i oktober, så jeg må bruke det nå 😂 Klook har gjort kjøpet enkelt og praktisk. Jeg mottok passet på under 5 dager via DHL 👍🏻

Reiseruten denne gangen var: Dag 1 tok Narita Express (N'EX) fra Narita lufthavn til Tokyo stasjon, deretter byttet til Shinkansen til Yamagata stasjon. Dag 2 reiste vi fra Yamagata → Shinjo → Oishida → Yamagata. Vi skulle opprinnelig ta en båttur på Mogami-elven, men på grunn av kraftig snøfall dro vi i stedet til Ginzan Onsen. Dag 3 dro vi tidlig om morgenen til Zao for å ta taubanen, og på ettermiddagen tok vi Shinkansen fra Yamagata → Fukushima → Sendai → Tazawako. Dag 4 tok vi buss rundt Tazawako-sjøen, deretter reiste vi fra Tazawako → Morioka → Shin-Aomori (strekningen Shin-Aomori → Aomori var stengt på grunn av kraftig snøfall, så vi tok buss inn til sentrum). Dag 5 utforsket vi Aomori sentrum. Shin-Aomori → Shin-Hakodate → Shin-Hakodate → Hakodate (JR Pass og Hakodate Liner kan også brukes!). Vi tok taubanen opp til Hakodate-fjellet for å se nattutsikten. Dag 6 utforsket vi Hakodate sentrum. Hakodate → Toya (Hokuto-toget) → Toya stasjon → Toyako Onsen (buss). Om kvelden nøt vi Toya Winter Illumination og musikkfyrverkerifestivalen, som var utrolig vakker.

The "Free Hong Kong Mail" for the voucher was delivered by SF Express. I placed the order today (Monday) and received it the next day (Tuesday), which is extremely efficient. The last time I visited Hokkaido via Sapporo Airport, I deliberately skipped Hakodate because taking the Hokkaido Shinkansen from Shin-Aomori Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, then transferring to the JR Hakodate Main Line to Hakodate Station, only takes about 1.5 hours. This is much more convenient than the over 3.5-hour journey from Sapporo to Hakodate. For a relaxed trip for middle-aged travelers, the route Sendai - Aomori - Hakodate - Hachinohe - Sendai, using a JR Pass to reserve seats for free at the designated seat ticket machines, allows you to enjoy leisurely times and various delicious foods. It's very cost-effective and worthwhile.

It's only available for JR lines, but it was great for traveling to the airport, Sapporo, Otaru, and Noboribetsu. However, when I went, Sapporo Station was incredibly crowded, possibly due to heavy snow, and there were quite a few train delays..ㅠ

Det var veldig praktisk å benytte seg av denne tjenesten. Dager før turen vår tok noen kontakt med meg via chat for å bekrefte reiseplanen vår (vi valgte rute B, men la til Furano ostefabrikk som start), og anbefalte tidspunkter for å møte tjenestens maksimale tid. Sjåføren vår, Willis, var veldig imøtekommende og snill. Familien vår på 9 personer nøt Furano og Biei med denne tjenesten. Takk!

I was very impressed with Next Tour's service for a 10-hour private Fuji tour. The team's coordination was excellent; they created a chat group in advance to confirm the itinerary and contact numbers. Our driver, Mr. Shrestha, arrived before the scheduled time, was very polite, and drove smoothly and safely. Even though it rained on the day of our tour and the weather wasn't ideal, making it difficult to see Mount Fuji clearly, Mr. Shrestha made an effort to take care of us and helped us check in at various spots. He communicated well in English, which made the trip very smooth. I highly recommend this service for anyone traveling to Japan with family or friends.

We booked with the same company for three days and we were assigned the same driver, Jun-san. He spoke English well, was punctual (early even) and provided us with helpful information. The vehicle was comfortable and Jun-san drove safely. We are glad we booked a private car and driver for our trips to Furano, Otaru and the outskirts of Sapporo. The convenience, time and energy saved was well worth the cost.
