Hi Huang,

It is pretty hard itinerary to find a good pass for, this because your main travel is spread out over 8 days and most rail-passes are valid for 7 days. Still I would recommend looking into Hokkaido pass. Perhaps the 4-day flex pass could be use full if you use it to cover 4 of your most expansive travel days and supplement it by buying normal tickets for the other days.

The parts I would cover with it are 1.) Otaru Chikko to Kutchan. 2.) Kutchan station to Hakodate 3.) and Noboribetsu to Sapporo New Chitose Airport.

I hope this helps!
Daniel
