Hello! I've got a JR Pass for 14 days, with a friend.

I can't find a route during the day (May 16th) from Sapporo to Narita airport.

The web page hyperdia.com (which is not secure) doesn't offer trains from the morning.

So my question is if we can get a train or trains for travelling between those cities. Originally, we wanted to take the night train but I couldn't find it and the JR Pass office in Madrid didn't help us.

Please, let me know the best way to arrive to Narita airport from Hokkaido.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Graciela

Hi Graciela,

When using Hyperdia on this route, keep the option Hayabusa on - because this train is covered by the JR Pass.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks, Daniel, for your answer!

But the JR Pass brochure indicates that the Hayabusa train is not included in the pass, like the Nozomi and the Mizuho.

Is it wrong?

Please, let me know if it is my mistake or I have no idea?

I'm looking forward to your answer.

Have a nice week-end!

Hi again,

The Hayabusa is included in the JR Pass, the Nozomi and Mizuho are not. This kinda makes for hard planning with Hyperdia, keep the option on going north of Tokyo but you have to turn it off when doing south.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks, Daniel, for your quick answer! It helps me a lot!

Now, it's clear that the Hayabusa train is included in our passes. It makes me feel calm.

What's not clear is the second part of your message. I don't know other way to plan (with JR Pass) but Hyperdia. And before going to Hokkaido, we are visiting Hiroshima and around it.

Sincerely,
Graciela
