Hi, i womder if JR pass can be used from Sendai to Sapporo. This is because insaw from website, the track will only be operated next year 2016. http://www.pref.hokkaido.lg.jp/ss/skt/eng.htm
However, i saw from other ppl's blog and they have travelled via jr pass from south to north http://tokyoconsult.blogspot.com/2015/03/japan-rail-pass-journey-introduction.html
Please advise.
Thanks
Boon
