my friend and I will reach tokyo narita airport at 10 august 2015 Monday, we plan to travel to hokkaido right away, how long will it take to travel from tokyo to hokkaido and does the rail included in the jr rail pass?

do jr rail pass cover a night train?

if we would like to have few stop when travelling from tokyo to hokkaido, which place would be best to stop and take a rest?

we will be travelling from tokyo to hokkaido, tokyo,nagoya, kyoto, osaka from 10/aug to 27/aug and back to our country from osaka kansai airport. it is around 18 days. do u recommend us to buy a 14 days tickets and buy separated 3 days tickets or straight buy 21 days tickets? the last 4 days we would just remain at osaka.

does jr rail pass covers any train in a places itself : like tokyo...includes all local train too

i really very unfamiliar with the usage of the pass thoroughly even i try to do all reading online.
thanks

Hi there,

Yes the JR Pass covers the train to Hokkaido and all JR lines in Hokkaido as well, this includes the super fast Hayabusa Shinkansen to Hokkaido.

Some nice places to make a stop over at between Tokyo - Sapporo include, Sendai, Hirosaki, Hachinohe and Hakodate.

Either a 14 or 21 day JR Pass would work very well. The 21 day JR Pass is about the same price as a normal return ticket Tokyo - Sapporo so either way you'll make great savings. I would advise a 14 day JR Pass if you can be in Osaka before it expires, otherwise go for a 21 day JR Pass.

The JR Pass also covers local JR lines, this is especially useful in Tokyo and Osaka.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
