Furano-Biei round tour ticket 2013 2013/6/4 11:36
Hello, I'm visiting Sapporo, Furano & Biei in August this year. I'm interested in purchasing the Furano Biei Round Tour Ticket.

Questions:

1. This ticket would allow me to take the Ltd Express Lavender Express trains between Sapporo and Furano and the Furano-Biei orokko trains?
2. Can I buy the Twinkle Bus tickets based on this Round Tour Ticket? Or must I still show evidence of a JR ticket in order to buy the Twinkle Bus tickets?

Yes, it does.

Can I buy the Twinkle Bus tickets based on this Round Tour Ticket?

Yes, that ticket is enough to buy a Twinkle Bus ticket.

Thanks for the prompt response! By the way, would Furano/Biei area be very crowded on weekends during the 1st week of August? Should I try to visit on weekdays instead? Since the train ticket is only for non-reserved seats, I'm a little worried about the availability.

I am wondering if the
Furano-Biei Free Pass allows us to travel on the JR Furano Line also, or does a separate charge apply. I plan to travel from New Chitose Airport to Asahikawa and

from Furano to Biei via JR Furano as I will miss the Ltd Express from Furano to Biei due to the timing.

Can anyone shed light on this?Can I use the Free Pass on JR Furano Line?

Hi guear,

Thanks for your reply.

But I think the ticket says Ltd express only so that means I can only travel on Ltd Express trains and not the short shuttle on the JR Furano Line from Biei to Furano (via JR Furano)?

Is there a contact number for JR Hokkaido?

I am not sure what this short shuttle you are talking about. These Ltd. Express trains operate on Furano line. If the schedule is on the pdf timetable, it should be free on non-reserved seat.

What time is your arrival?

Here are their the phone numbers but I am not sure if they have English support.
