Traveling freely in Japan, the most headache is transportation, not only expensive but also very complicated, today let's talk about the difference in transportation in Hokkaido, should you buy a JR PASS for your own itinerary! 🌸Inter-city round trip (JR PASS) ·Various trains (such as: JR express/ordinary trains, airport express)→Domestic high-speed rail/EMU 🌼City round trip (Kitaca, Suica, etc.) ·Subway (such as: north-south line, east-west line)→Domestic subway ·Tram (such as: Sapporo tram, 9 Tengu Mountain cable car line)→Domestic bus 🚝Hokkaido JR PASS category: ①Sapporo-Noboribetsu area 4-day railway pass ②Sapporo-Furano area 4-day railway pass ③Hokkaido Railway 5/7/10-day pass ※The Sapporo-Noboribetsu 4-day railway pass does not include Toyako. ※Sapporo-Noboribetsu railway pass, Sapporo-Furano railway pass cannot take JR Hokkaido bus, Sapporo municipal tram, subway. ※Hokkaido Railway 5/7/10-day pass can take some JR Hokkaido bus routes, but cannot take Hokkaido Shinkansen, Donan ISARIBI railway line, tram, subway. 🚄The relationship between JR PASS and Shinkansen JR is not equivalent to Shinkansen, the former includes the latter, and only the fastest part of the express can be called "Shinkansen" (it will be noted on the ticket). ❓Should I buy a pass? 1) If you only go to Sapporo, Otaru, Noboribetsu, you don't need to buy it; 2) Go to Sapporo, Otaru, Furano to buy Sapporo-Furano 4-day JR, if you add Hakodate, Toyako and other places, it is recommended to buy 5/7/10-day JR. 💺Reserved seat VS Free seat —Reserved seat: Can be understood as a ticket with a designated seat number, JR PASS can take the reserved seat of the ordinary carriage, but need to make a reservation in advance. —Free seat: A ticket without a designated seat, if there are vacant seats in the free seat carriage, you can take a seat, if there is no position, it is a standing ticket, JR PASS can ride at will. ※From March 16, 2024, the Super Hokuto, Super Suzuran, Super Okhotsk, and Super Tokachi will be changed to "all reserved seats", and there will be no free seats on each train. 🚝Ordinary train VS Express train Ordinary trains are similar to domestic trains, slower and stop at more stations; airport express, express trains are similar to high-speed rail/EMU, faster, and stop at fewer stations. 🚝Express ticket and ride ticket If you don't buy a JR PASS, you will see these two terms when buying tickets on the self-service machine. If you buy a ride ticket, you can only take the free seat of the ordinary train. If you accidentally get on the express train, you will be asked by the staff to make up the ticket (express ticket). This ticket is only for the free seat ticket. If you want to go to the express designated seat, you need to make up the difference in the designated seat. ⚠️Precautions: 1) Reserved seats must be booked in advance, otherwise you can basically only stand. 2) The same order JR PASS exchange voucher, the passport of the personnel on the same order can be exchanged when they are all together. 3) Trams in the Sapporo, Otaru, and Noboribetsu areas can basically swipe Suica, and Apple phones can bind Suica in the wallet. 4) When transferring from the subway to the railway train, swipe the JR pass, not the exchanged reserved seat ticket.

最初心大心細去登別定洞爺湖好，最後都無後悔揀左湖之栖🫢無論食物質素或者服務都非常好👍🏼房內或大浴場溫泉亦都好正！今次係Japanican揀左一泊兩食Plan。呢間酒店booking相當Full，最好提前一至兩個月Book！ 🔸食物 酒店Plan係有懷石料理或Buffet揀，但我book個時網站並無寫晚餐食咩，所以建議最好去日文酒店網站book eg. Rakuten或Rurubu網，咁就可以清晰睇到究竟晚餐食咩，網站仲定時有coupon拎，可以減酒店費用架！唔知係咪我太遲book，當時日文網站無晒房，只有Japanican有，最後我要Sd email去查詢先知晚餐係Buffet。當日晚餐Buffet係半自助形式，入到去已經有蟹肉刺身，魚鍋食！Buffet有唔少熟食 eg. 湯咖哩、烤牛肉、烤帆立貝、天婦羅、炒烏冬等等，亦有大量甜品、雪糕、水果、刺身、壽司、長腳蟹。魚生每款都好新鮮，長腳蟹亦相當鮮甜！ 🔸房內設施 酒店內每間房都設有室內露天溫泉♨️，望住羊蹄山嘅景色，非常寫意。最特別係房內地下係設有暖氣，令到地板都keep到暖，非常貼心！ 🔸酒店設施 酒店仲有個天頂嘅露天溫泉，景色真係好正！湖之栖係連接住太陽溫泉酒店，可以到該酒店享用設施。太陽溫泉酒店有水上樂園、溫泉，但該酒店住客係無法到湖之栖用設施。 🔸洞爺湖景點 洞爺湖溫泉區附近有個燈飾長廊，由湖之栖酒店步行大概10分鍾就到！好啱影相打卡。沿啱仲見到有個室外免費浸腳溫泉，都幾chill😍 🔸酒店免費接駁巴士 (札榥湖之栖) 只要入住前Sd email到酒店就可以預約到！一程已經慳左差唔多6000yen！由於我去程由函館出發，只有回程時book左車翻札榥，留意回程巴士都只有一班9:45am車翻札榥。我去程時就自己係洞爺湖坐巴士到酒店。 #日本酒店

Lake Toya is a must-visit destination in Hokkaido during winter. It not only boasts a magnificent scenery but also features one of the world`s most unique natural occurrences - its lake never freezes during winter. This is due to the stratovolcano, Mount Usu, around the lake. Very interesting isn't it? There are many things to do in Lake Toya, and the best decision we made was to go for Onsen. We have Onsen in Singapore but it's an entirely different experience to do it in winter. When temperature dips to sub zero, the cold never truly leaves you, regardless of the number of layers you wear. Onsen becomes a source of warmth, comfort and relief. We felt so so blessed then, the feeling was indescribable. Things to note: There are public and private Onsen. Strict rules must be followed at the public hot spring baths - tattoos, photography and the use of bath towels are prohibited. For private ones, there are no restrictions. We stayed at Toyako Manseikaku. It has the perfect view of the lake and a public Onsen. We also made frequent trips to their in-house café as the views from there are exceptional! Starting from SGD$200 per night, guests can enjoy their Onsen for free and complimentary buffet breakfast for two. If you prefer privacy, you can also book a private spa at Nonokaze Resort for just SGD$33 per 50 minutes. 1. Toyako Manseikaku Address - 21 Toyako Onsen, Toyako-cho, Abuta-gun, Hokkaido Getting there - Sapporo Station ⇔ Hotel Shuttle Bus [Express Toya] (1,100 yen per person for one way 2,200 yen per person round trip). Need to book in advance. 2. Nonokaze Resort Address - 29-1 Toyakoonsen, Toyako, Abuta District, Hokkaido Getting there - There is a hotel shuttle bus that operates to and from JR Sapporo and New Chitose Airport. It is free from JR Sapporo Station and costs 1000 yen one way from New Chitose Airport. Need to book in advance. #tripblazers #winter #laketoya #hokkaido

#celebratewithtrip Lake Toya was born more than 110,000 years ago following a huge volcanic eruption. We took our time for a relaxing long stroll along the lake. There are a lot of very nice modern sculptures along the way. Lake Toya (洞爺湖) is one of the best hot spring towns in Japan for budget travelers. The combination of many free hot spring facilities, cheap bus routes and some super cheap accommodation makes the place stand out from the others. #laketoya #friendstrip #hokkaido #2015

#celebratewithtrip Nice local ramen restaurant. We stopped by Lake Toya for lunch so we just tried this. They have the most common ramen on their menu. Simple, great flavors and good service. #laketoya #friendstrip #hokkaido #japan

#celebratewithtrip We randomly stopped by this gelato shop when we drove on the way back to Lake Toya. The gelato is super nice. I recommend this place if you have a chance to visit Hokkaido area especially Toya to enjoy the amazing beautiful scenery while eat some tasty Gelato Ice Cream. There are many kinds of various flavors Ice cream. So you can choose it whatever flavors what you wanted. In the season you can view many different Hokkaido flowers. #friendstrip #2015 #hokkaido #japan

There is free shuttle bus service from Sapporo station to the hotel! The view from the rooms is just impeccable, breathtaking! They have indoor and outdoor ONSEN baths. They have so many different baths and they’re incredible. The beds are also very comfortable and the rooms are nice and clean. It’s really fun to experience soaking in ONSEN bath whilst it was snowing. I really love this stay! #onsenhotel

終於來到洞爺湖啦！先來旁邊咖啡廳喝杯咖啡再去附近湯屋泡湯♨️ 這間咖啡廳好溫馨 裝潢非常漂亮 滿滿的木頭 🪵 cheese cake非常好吃😋 咖啡也好好喝🤤🤤 老闆不會說日文 但是很棒的咖啡廳👍🏻👍🏻 店名：山岳喫茶 地址：40-21 Toyakoonsen, Toyako, Abuta District, Hokkaido 049-5721日本

Around Lake Toya - flat view from lakeside . Easy to navigate around. every few hundreds meter you will find some interesting spot for pictures

Showa Shinzhan Bear ranch is a place to view many big brown bears. There are vending machines around the park where one can purchase to feed the bears. Not the friendliest animal that you can pat or touch, you will be able to watch their daily activity from top down view. I guess now the bears are more protected that letting them roaming outside . worth visiting if you are going to the Mount Usu next to it via Usuzan Ropeway as side trip.#bucketlistreboot

Lake Toya is argubly the most scenic spa resort in Hokkaido. With its paranomic views of the scenic Lake Toya from the upscale hotel resort, its well worth splurging for a magical night here just to have a wonderful experience in Lake Toya, Japan. There are both Japanese and Western style rooms available at the resort and we chose the Western style room which comes with a king bed. If you choose the Japanese style, it comes with a futon bed. We booked a free shuttle from JR Sapporo Station to get to the hotel and it was relatively fuss free to get there. The hotel restaurant has wonderful views of Lake Toya as well while you dine from the restaurant, which is very relaxing. #createwithtrip
