trip to japan (tokyo-sapporo-kyoto)

Hi, We would like to get an information regarding tokyo, sapporo & kyoto. We we are from Bali - Indonesia, and have plan to go to japan on Jan 2008. (2 days in kyoto,7 days in sapporo & 2 days in tokyo), We would like to go to Sapporo by bullet train from tokyo or kyoto. Thank you

There is no bullet train connecting Tokyo and Sapporo. Please see this page : http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5306.html

And Japan is in winter in January. Make sure you bring a thick jacket with you.

Sapporo is really a nice city but if you want to visit traditional japan it not really the place i would suggest you stay more time in Kyoto or in Osaka there is no bullet train to go to Sapporo and its a long ride from Tokyo it take like one day or one night i suggest taking the plain if you really want to go there, Matane

If you want to take a train there is a night train available. If you have a Rail Pass you will still need to pay the limited express and berthing fees.

I'm going to Japan in January too and I will go from Tokyo to Sapporo by plane. with an Air Pass (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2364.html) it's 10.000yen - so it's AFAIR even cheaper then going by train and much much faster.
