Hi, all, my girlfriend and I are headed to Japan this November. We will be arriving in Narita, Tokyo on 12 Nov at 7.15am. We will be departing Haneda, Tokyo on 19 Nov at 12.05am.

This leaves us with 7 full days in Japan.

My girlfriend has visited Tokyo previously and would like to visit Northern Japan instead. I was thinking of going Hokkaido. Cities I will likely visit will include Sapporo, Hakodate and Otaru.

I am trying to plan the itinerary and also transport and I was wondering whether to get the 7 days rail pass.

Grateful if I could learn from your past experiences and also (if possible) suggested itineraries.

Hi there,

The JR Pass works great if you go up all the way to Hokkaido. The cost of a one-way trip Tokyo - Sapporo alone costs around 24,000yen, make the return would give you really good savings considering that the JR Pass is 29,110yen.

The JR Pass includes the Hokkaido Shinkansen and travels around Hokkaido as well, including Sapporo, Hakodate, and Otaru.

We have a detailed itinerary here, that you can use to get some ideas:

Hope this helps,
Daniel
