How to exchange for Sapporo-Furano Area Pass

The Sapporo-Furano Area Pass purchased from Wag is an exchange voucher that must be exchanged for an actual ticket locally.

There are staff members who speak Korean, English, and Chinese, although they are not permanently stationed there, and they exchange various passes, including the Hokkaido Rail Pass.

Just present the voucher you received from WAUG at the JR Sapporo Station West Exit/New Chitose Airport Station JR Foreign Language Information Desk and you can immediately receive your ticket. It's that simple, right?

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

The Sapporo-Furano Area Pass is a pass that allows you to use all JR trains from Sapporo Airport and downtown, Furano, Biei, and Otaru. It's easy to think of it as moving from New Chitose Airport Sapporo - Otaru - Furano - Biei - Asahikawa, but many people buy it to conveniently travel to the famous tourist destinations of Furano and Biei by limited express train! In addition, since it can be used freely for 4 days, it is beneficial even if you do not go on a Furano or Biei tour and just travel around with the Area Pass.

However, the downside is that you can only use non-reserved seats on express trains, rapid trains, and local trains within the available area.
