I freakin love this travel guide and how you've put it together, and you guys are so cool. Arigatous.

[@stephanietay8691]

V informative n gd for reference.

[@thetravelintern]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aeagoh1]

Hi, thanks for posting. My hubby and I will be going to Hokkaido in November. Great tips! Which part of November were you both there? We will be in Japan for 19 days. But we don’t know should we go to Hokkaido first or western first.

[@aeagoh1]

Oh you went in May, I thought was in November. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@mollykostrzewa3465]

@aeagoh1 do you have tips for things to do in November in Hokkaido? We are also going mid November and wondering what is recommended in colder weather. Thanks!

[@aeagoh1]

I’ll spent 7 nights in Hokkaido. Will spend 2 nights at Hakodate. Planning to take the local tram to move around. Then we’ll stay at Jonzenki for 2 nights then last 3 nights in Sapporo. Still thinking if we take the local transport or rent a car or engage private driver. Need to check out the weather nearer the date.

[@cordonjec]

Damn would love to try that 🍦

[@thetravelintern]

Time for us to go back

[@ilanachaimov9928]

Hi, we will be going to hokaido end of September. I wanted to know if it's possible to use the Jr pass in hokaido?
If we are planning to be there for five nights, is it best to rent a car or use public transport?
Also is it possible to use the luggage sending service in Hokkaido as well?
Thanks 🙏

[@thetravelintern]

Yes it's possible to use the JR Pass in Hokkaido! Public transport is convenient alr but still depends on your preference. :)

[@au-bm1fx]

did u all take flight or shinkansen to hokkaido !

[@kimberlylai9608]

wah the oysters...... 🤤🤤

[@thetravelintern]

The best oysters we've had handsdown

[@dextersabidalas7049]

aà

[@mollykostrzewa3465]

One of your comments said you went in May and the other says November. When was this trip? Thanks

[@thetravelintern]

For the one shown on the video, we were there in November

[@teochaorui]

Uwu fuud looks DAMN GOOD :”)

[@thetravelintern]

it was as good as it looked

[@tanjem]

did you order set or ala cart for Kani Honke Sapporo ?

[@thetravelintern]

We ordered a set! It is definitely more worth!

[@sapilaut2]

If i'm using the limited express train like the hokuto or lilac-kamui to travel between cities, and not reserve a seat, can i just show the rail pass to board? Or do i still have to get a ticket?

[@suminchua3856]

Which period did you go ? In Jul or ?

[@thetravelintern]

Hi! For this trip, we went last November 2022!

[@annitasouthiphong2287]

Which month were y traveling?

[@thetravelintern]

Hey Annita! For the one shown on the video, we were there November and December 😊

[@tanjem]

only the full 7day JR pass will cover the train ride from tokyo all the way to Hokkido . 6 day pass dont cover right ?

[@thetravelintern]

you can get the JR East-South Hokkaido Rail Pass, which is 6 days and covers from Tokyo to Sapporo! Then you can change it for a Hokkaido rail pass if you want to stay longer!

[@tanjem]

Not heard can change pass .. in Japan .. anyway .a 7 day pass is good enough .. for me .. thks

[@xylol6525]

Is there a JR train going to Biei? or you really need to take a car going there?

[@thetravelintern]

Hi! I think there’s a JR station to get you to (or at least near) Biei. We just found it more convenient to rent a car, given our time constraints and itinerary. Hope this helps!

[@tanjem]

Did you take a public transport to Hiroyiyama Lighthouse ?

[@thetravelintern]

we took the public bus!

[@judyfungjubili8577]

which month is this?

[@thetravelintern]

For the one shown on the video, we were there November and December

[@HendricTay]

Oooo

[@coryglueckert1665]

video to short

[@buttlebe]

Nothing special and video/presentation is super so-so. One of the poorest I've seen. Puzzled why citibank will sponsor them to promote their card.
