Hi,
My wife and I are planning a trip to Japan in Feb 2015. We're thinking of using the JR pass for trips around Tokyo and Osaka and then head over to Sapporo on the last day of our JR pass. (There are plenty of posts regarding the Tokyo to Sapporo trip on this forum--thanks!) Within Hokkaido, we'll use a JR Hokkaido Pass to get around. Our question is: can we use the Hokkaido pass to get back to Tokyo?
If we can only get back to Tokyo from Hokkaido using the JR Pass, does it make sense to get a longer-period JR pass and try to use the JR pass in Hokkaido as much as possible?
Thanks in advance!
