Hokkaido, Japan's 2nd largest island, as you guessed is pretty big and well known for its volcanic landscape, ski resorts, and yummy seafood. Whether you'd like to stick to a specific route (Sapporo-Noboribetsu or Sapporo-Furano) or explore the entire northern island, these passes let you do so at your own pace: 4, 5, 7, or 10 days.
Ride buses and trains across multiple lines as many times as you like, yes, even just for the sake of it. Get access to reserved as well as non-reserved seats on limited express trains, rapid lines, local trains, and more. Check out recommended bus routes here.
There's a lot to see and do in Hokkaido: hot springs in Noboribetsu, chilly Otaru, national parks in Kushiroshitsugen, Lake Toya, etc. Makes sense to get the pass and sort out your travel, doesn't it?
