Hi, I'll be travelling to Hokkaido in late April, below is my itinerary. Would you give me some advices as what type of rail passes to buy. Thank you!
Day 1: Arrived at New Chitose Airport around 1pm, visit Rera outlet, take evening train to Hakodate
Day 2: Visit Tower Goryokaku, Church, Red Brick house, Hakodateyama yakei
Day 3: Leave Hakodate and take train to Noboribetsu in afternoon
Day 4: Leave Noboribetsu and take train to Sapporo
Day 5: Visit Shiroi Koibito Factory, then commute to Otaru
Day 6: Sightseeing at Sapporo
Day 7: Take train to New Chitose Airport from Sapporo and fly back home in afternoon
As I'll be taking long hours train, I'm planning to buy the reserved seats. I'm not sure if buying a Hokkaido Rail Pass is better. Also as I'll be bringing two 26" luggage, when I take the train, is there any shelves where I can store my luggage?
For Day 5, I'm not sure how to commute from Sapporo JR station to Shiroi Koibito Factory by bus or train. Plus from Shiroi Koibito Factory to Otaru.
Thank you!
