How to travel between Noboribetsu and Tokyo

By air

The fastest way to access Noboribetsu from Tokyo is by plane via Sapporo's Shin-Chitose Airport:
1) How to get from Tokyo to Shin-Chitose Airport
2) How to get from Shin-Chitose Airport to Noboribetsu

By daytime trains

Take a Hayate train on the JR Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin-Aomori (3.5 hours). Then, take the JR Hakucho limited express to Hakodate (2 hours) and finally the JR Hokuto limited express to Noboribetsu Station (2.5 hours). The entire one way trip costs about 22,000 yen and takes around nine hours. It is fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass. Note that seat reservations are mandatory on Hayate trains between Tokyo and Shin-Aomori.

By night train

One or two night trains operate daily between Tokyo's Ueno Station and Sapporo in each direction, stopping at Noboribetsu Station along the way. Regular one way fares start around 24,000 yen for the most basic type of berth. Note that Japan Rail Pass holders have to pay a surcharge of at least 12,000 yen (14,500 yen from December 4, 2010) to ride a night train between Tokyo and Noboribetsu.
