Hello,
My daughter and I are travelling July 27-Aug. 2, 2026, from Tokyo to Hokkaido, but we will stay at Mizusawa Esashi and Hakodate before proceeding to our final destination in Hokkaido. We will be back to Tokyo again. If we have a JR Pass, is it useful for this type of itinerary?
Thank you
Hello,
To get the best value for your trip to Hokkaido, I highly recommend looking into the JR East-South Hokkaido Rail Pass.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
