Hello,
I'm planning a 9-day trip to Hokkaido this Oct. Please see the itinerary as follows:
Day 1: Sapporo
Day 2: Otaru (day trip)
Day 3: Jozankei
Day 4: Sapporo
Day 5: Lake Toya
Day 6: Hakodate
Day 7: Hakodate
Day 8: Noboribetsu
Day 9: Chitose (for an early flight home)
I'm thinking of buying a Flexible 4-day Rail Pass. It says on the leaflet that the pass is activated the day of purchase OR exchange. I'm wondering if it is more economical for me to exchange it when I travel to Lake Toya.
Another thing that I need clarifying is the word "or" in the information given. I plan to purchase the pass from outside Japan and exchange it on a later day once I'm in Japan. Which day will be regarded as the first day?
Thank you.
Nawee
