HI, I have a question for my route below. Appreciate some one can advise what is the best mode of JR pass to buy , for time and economical savings.
We are a family of 4 (2A, 2 youths age 13 & 15 @ time of travel)
Depart from Osaka (3/12) for Tokyo via JR pass.
Will be in Tokyo for only 2N , travel will be just within Tokyo for basic sight seeing as we have been there before.
We plan to leave for Hakodate on 5/12.
Option 1 - Use the JR pass & travel on the new line
Option 2 - Fly from Hanada to Hakodate domestic
For the next 6N ; Our travelling route plan is Hakodate - Noboribetsu - Sapporo - Day trip to Otaru - Sapporo - may go lake Toya if time permits (else we will skip) - Niseko resort
We have to be in Niseko resort on 11/12 . So, that's taken care of.
I need advice for the travelling sectors above and what should be my best mode of transport and train tickets to buy.
Looking forward to hearing your kind advice. Many thanks,
