BESTI traveled comfortably from Hakodate to Sapporo, Yoichi, Otaru, and Biei with a complete pass. I was debating between a 5-day pass and a 7-day pass, but buying the 7-day pass was the best.
With the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass,
7 day trip
With a single JR Hokkaido Rail Pass, you can easily travel to various famous places, including Otaru, Niseko, Furano, and Obihiro, starting from Sapporo. In Hokkaido, sightseeing spots that are difficult for independent travelers to visit are usually taken on a bus tour, but with the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass, you can go anywhere freely.
With one pass, you can use not only reserved and non-reserved seats in JR limited express trains, but also JR rapid trains, JR regular trains, and special trains, so enjoy a free trip to Hokkaido at your own time with the JR Hokkaido Rail Pass.

What are the advantages 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, and is a pass that can be freely used for 7 days from Noboribetsu to Furano and Biei. Not only can you use all JR trains, but 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 non-reserved seats . However, you cannot use the Hokkaido Shinkansen, Donan Isaribi Railway, streetcar, or subway.
Introducing how to reserve reserved seats
The Hokkaido Rail Pass can be used for reserved seats in regular cars (excluding SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train).
How to reserve a reserved seat:
1. When boarding a reserved seat, you must receive a reserved seat ticket before boarding.
