Hi there,

I am actually in the middle of writing a new Blog post for stop overs between Tokyo - Hokkaido :)

A JR Pass is certainly recommended. A one-way trip is ¥ 26,820 or double that for a return Tokyo - Sapporo. Making the JR Pass a very good value option, even if you would not travel anywhere else.

A quick list of recommended stopovers: Hakodate, Hirosaki and Sendai. All are interesting enough to spend at least one day.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
