Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Hokkaido by JR 2009/6/16 Hokkaido Is it possible to travel from tokyo to Hokkaido by using Jr east pass ( flexible 3 days ) and hokkaido rail pass? If possible, where is the interchange station? by ornchuda   ... 2009/6/17 Is it possible to travel from tokyo to Hokkaido by using Jr east pass ( flexible 3 days ) and hokkaido rail pass? No, only as far as the northern tip of Honshu. by Uji rate this post as useful Hokkaido by JR 2009/6/17 my advise, you may purchase Japan Rail Pass instead of purchasing 2 regional passes by ladyrai (guest) rate this post as useful ... 2009/6/17 Sorry, I did not read the part about combining it with the Hokkaido Rail Pass. The "interchange station" is Nakaoguni, a minor station at the tip of Honshu. But the trains between Honshu and Hokkaido do not stop there. Therefore, I doubt that you can do the trip by combining the two passes. There is a high risk that you would have to pay a supplement for the section between the last station served on Honshu and the first station served on Hokkaido. I also recommend to use a Japan Rail Pass instead. by Uji rate this post as useful Thank you 2009/6/17 Thank you very much for the information. by ornchuda rate this post as useful E3 2009/6/18 The E3 Shinkansen will reach Shin-Aomori Station in 3 hours in 2011! http://www.japantoday.com/category/picture-of-the-day/v... by Joe (guest) rate this post as useful - 2009/6/18 Correction, "E5." by Joe (guest) rate this post as useful
