Doprava v 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.

Milujem pohodlie JR passu, pretože spája všetky zaujímavé miesta prostredníctvom Shinkansenu. Lenže je stále drahší a drahší… správy uvádzajú, že v októbri sa cena opäť zvýši, takže ho radšej využijem teraz 😂 Klook mi nákup veľmi zjednodušil a spríjemnil. Pas som dostal za menej ako 5 dní prostredníctvom DHL 👍🏻

Trasa cesty bola nasledovná: Deň 1 – z letiska Narita vlakom Narita Express (N'EX) na stanicu Tokio, potom prestup na Shinkansen do stanice Yamagata. Deň 2 – z Yamagaty do Shinjo, potom do Oishidy a späť do Yamagaty. Pôvodne sme mali ísť na plavbu loďou po rieke Mogami, ale kvôli silnému sneženiu sme sa vrátili a navštívili Ginzan Onsen. Deň 3 – ráno sme išli lanovkou na Zao, popoludní sme cestovali Shinkansenom z Yamagaty cez Fukušimu a Sendai do jazera Tazawa. Deň 4 – jazda autobusom po okružnej linke jazera Tazawa, potom z jazera Tazawa do Morioky a ďalej do Shin-Aomori (úsek Shin-Aomori → Aomori bol kvôli silnému sneženiu zrušený, takže sme išli autobusom do centra mesta). Deň 5 – prehliadka mesta Aomori. Zo Shin-Aomori do Shin-Hakodate a potom zo Shin-Hakodate do Hakodate (môžete použiť aj JR Pass a Hakodate Liner!). Lanovkou sme sa vyviezli na horu Hakodate, aby sme si pozreli nočný výhľad. Deň 6 – prechádzka po meste Hakodate. Z Hakodate do Toya (Hokuto), potom zo stanice Toya do Toyako Onsen (autobusom). Večer sme si užili zimný festival Toya Winter Illumination a hudobný ohňostroj, ktorý bol nádherný.

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

It was very convenient to avail this service. Days before our trip, someone chatted me to confirm our itinerary (we chose Route B but added Furano Cheese Factory to start), and recommended times to meet the service maximum time. Our driver Willis was very accommodating and kind. Our family of 9 enjoyed Furano and Biei with this service. Thank you!

Bola som ohromená službami Next Tour pre našu 10-hodinovú súkromnú prehliadku Fudži. Tím mal vynikajúcu koordináciu, vopred vytvoril chatovú skupinu na potvrdenie itinerára a kontaktných čísel. Náš vodič, pán Shrestha, prišiel pred dohodnutým časom, bol zdvorilý a jazdil veľmi plynulo a bezpečne. Hoci v deň našej návštevy pršalo a počasie nebolo ideálne, takže sme nevideli horu Fudži jasne, pán Shrestha sa snažil postarať sa o nás a zaviezol nás na rôzne miesta na registráciu. Dobre komunikoval v angličtine, vďaka čomu bola cesta veľmi hladká. Určite odporúčam každému, kto cestuje do Japonska s rodinou alebo skupinou priateľov.

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.
