7 July - (Asakusa ,Shinjuku shopping etc - back to Singapore)

Uji, If I were to visit Ishiya on my way to Otaru on JR line, Which would be the closest stop and how far is the walk? I will be using the JR rail pass and may as well utilize the pass, Instead of the subway.

The closest JR Station is Hassamu, 1.5 kilometers away. It is about a 20-30 minute walk one way.

All the questions about the itinerary being busy or not are very difficult to answer, because it greatly depends on the personal travel pace. If you like a fast travel pace, they seem okay, except possibly the Furano day, which, I feel, is too busy.

I have no idea what I should do on this day. Any suggestions?

I recommend to decide based on your personal interests. Also, since I believe that the one day trip to Furano is too busy, how about using the day to extend your trip to Furano by one day?

Can we see the fireworks for Disneyland from Disneysea

When I went the last time, they did the fireworks in a way so that they can be enjoyed from both parks.

Hi

I will follow your suggestion to stay another day at Furano. However, can I check if I should stay at Asahikawa or Furano.

My worries for Furano is that I might be too early for the lavender season if I am there for 2 days there might be nothing for me

Is Asahikawa worthing visiting or I should go try the dolphin watching

Thanks

Balloon ride is a fixed ride, i.e. the balloon is tied to a rope on the ground. 2100 yen for a 5 min. ride.

I think chances are pretty high that the lavender will eb in bloom by early July. Furthermore, there are lots of flowers besides lavender, which are nice to look at.

Asahikawa, on the other hand, has a very famous zoo:

Uji,

Thanks, I think I go over and stay 1 night at the pension over at Furano.

Can I check if I am allow to get and play any fireworks in Hokkaido since it is not allow in Singapore.

Last but not least, with my Hokkaido plan, do you think I should get the Hokkaido rail pass. My plan is Sapporo, Otaru,Furano and back to Sapporo

Thanks

No, if you do the calculation, you will see that regular tickets are cheaper than the rail pass:
