What are the advantages of the Sapporo-Furano Area Pass?

The Sapporo-Furano Area Pass allows you to use all JR trains to Sapporo Airport and downtown, Furano, Biei, and Otaru. It's easy to think of it as traveling from New Chitose Airport Sapporo - Otaru - Furano - Biei - Asahikawa, but many people buy it to travel comfortably to the famous tourist destinations Furano and Biei by limited express train! In addition, it can be used freely for 4 days, so it's profitable even if you don't take a Furano and Biei tour and travel comfortably with the area pass.

However, the disadvantage is that only the unreserved seats of limited express trains, rapid trains, and local trains are available within the available area.
