Hi - we fly into Narita airport and spend 3 nights in Tokyo before heading to Sendai, on to Aomori, Sapporo, Lake Toya, Hakodate, Morioka and back to Tokyo for 2 nights, back to Narita. Total time in the Japan is 2 weeks. Is JRPass best or are we better of booking regional passes? Welcome Suica - is this still available? Thanks
Best pass options

Hi there,
Hokkaido is the most expensive area to access by rail and going to Sapporo and back, make it easy for me to recommend a rail pass. You could either do a 7-day or 14 day pass, depending on your timing,
The welcome Suica is still available, but personally I prefer the normal Suica card (as they remain reusable) or just add Suica to your Apple wallet.
Kind regards,
Daniel
