It’s a great value. I’ve used it for many Beidou and Shinkansen trips, and I’ve saved more than half of it. It’s more suitable to buy if you focus on traveling in Hakodate!

In fact, I later found out that it is not much different from buying it on-site😅If you don’t use the discount coupon included, the on-site price is currently cheaper, probably because of the low exchange rate. After purchasing, go to the counter, show your phone to them to see the order, and they will copy it and exchange it for a ticket. It's beautiful and nice up there

It’s really cost-effective to use the high-speed rail China Travel Pass. It’s much cheaper than buying it on site, and the direct trains are also priced at the same price. It’s great.

Buy the JR Tohoku South Hokkaido Rail Pass at Klook. Very convenient. Can pay by credit card. Pick up the voucher at Suvarnabhumi Airport, 4th floor, near Row K. Open 24 hours. The service staff is very good. Receive the voucher quickly. Pick up before checking in and boarding the plane.

In the past, when visiting Mount Hakodate with tour groups, we arranged to take a cable car to the top of the mountain. You can see other buildings along the way, such as the Kanemori Hung Hoi Warehouse. When you sign up, you have chosen to meet and disperse at Hakodate Station Bus Stop No. 12, which is very convenient. The bus arrives at Mount Hakodate to admire the vast Hakodate Bay. Visitors take the opportunity to take photos. It was a bit cold that night but not too windy. Taking a sightseeing bus this time to see Mt. Hakodate, one of Japan's three major night views, is one of the must-do activities for tourists. Unfortunately, we could only stay for about 30 minutes before we had to return.

Exchange tickets at the counter on the first floor. On-site tickets are 1,000 yen each. It is more cost-effective to purchase through KLOOK!
