How to exchange your JR Hokkaido Rail Pass

The JR Hokkaido Rail Pass purchased on WAUG is issued as an exchange order, which must be exchanged for an actual ticket locally. The main exchange locations are the JR Foreign Visitors' Information Desk at Sapporo Station and the JR Foreign Visitors' Information Desk at New Chitose Airport Station. Over 75% of travelers exchange their passes at the New Chitose Airport JR Foreign Visitors' Information Desk. Although not always stationed there, staff fluent in Korean, English, and Chinese are available to assist with exchanging various passes, including the Hokkaido Rail Pass.

Present your WAUG voucher at the JR Sapporo Station West Exit or the New Chitose Airport JR Foreign Visitors' Information Desk to receive your ticket. It's that simple!

What are the advantages of the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass?

The Hokkaido Rail Pass combines the Sapporo-Noboribetsu Area Pass and the Sapporo-Furano Area Pass, allowing you to freely travel from Noboribetsu to Furano and Biei for 7 days. You can use all JR trains and travel throughout Hokkaido, from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo, Otaru, Noboribetsu, Furano, and Biei.

Unlike area passes, you can use both reserved and non-reserved seats. However, you cannot use the Hokkaido Shinkansen, Donan Isaribi Railway, streetcars, or subways.

How to reserve a reserved seat

The Hokkaido Rail Pass allows you to use reserved seats in standard cars (excluding the SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train).

How to reserve a reserved seat:
1. When using a reserved seat, you must obtain a reserved seat ticket before boarding.
2. Apply for a reserved seat at the station: JR Information Foreign Visitors' Desk, ticket counters (Midori-no-Madoguchi) at major JR Hokkaido stations, or reserved seat ticket vending machines.
For instructions on how to use the reserved seat ticket vending machine, please check here!
 

How to board the train

Insert the rail pass into the automatic ticket gate to pass through. Be careful not to leave your rail pass behind when passing through the automatic ticket gate! Some people occasionally forget it.
