BESTEven if you just went to Hakodate and Otaru, you can get a lot out of it. If you had planned your pass itinerary more tightly, you would have been able to go to other places as well. Anyway, I used it well.
With the Hokkaido Rail Pass,
Meet them all from Sapporo to Otaru, Furano and Obihiro
With just one JR Hokkaido Rail Pass, you can easily travel to various famous places such as Otaru, Niseko, Furano, and Obihiro from Sapporo. Hokkaido is a place that is difficult for independent travelers to visit, so they usually take bus tours, but with the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass, you can go anywhere freely.
With just one pass, you can use reserved and unreserved seats on JR limited express trains, as well as JR rapid trains, JR local trains, and special trains. Now, enjoy a free trip to Hokkaido at your own pace with the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass.

Introducing how to exchange the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass
The JR Hokkaido Rail Pass purchased from Wag is an exchange voucher that must be exchanged for an actual ticket locally. The exchange locations are mainly the JR Foreign Language Information Desk at Sapporo Station and the JR Foreign Language Information Desk at New Chitose Airport Station, and more than 75% of travelers exchange their tickets at the JR Foreign Language Information Desk at New Chitose Airport Station. Although not permanently stationed there, there are staff who speak Korean, English, and Chinese, and they exchange various passes including the Hokkaido Rail Pass.
If you present the voucher you received from Wag at the JR Sapporo Station West Exit/New Chitose Airport Station JR Foreign Language Information Desk, you can immediately receive your ticket. It's really that simple, right?
I will tell you about the exchange location and business hours.
What are the benefits of the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass?
The Hokkaido Rail Pass is a simple combination of the Sapporo-Noboribetsu Area Pass and the Sapporo-Furano Area Pass, allowing you to freely use the pass for 5 days from Noboribetsu to Furano and Biei. Not only can you use all JR trains, you can also travel throughout Hokkaido from New Chitose Airport - Sapporo - Otaru - Noboribetsu - Furano - Biei.
Also, unlike the Area Pass, you can use both reserved and unreserved seats . However, you cannot use the Hokkaido Shinkansen, Donan-Isaribi Railway, trams, or subways.
*Abashiri Station's business hours will change to 7:35-12:50/13:50-16:30 from July 1, 2024.
