Hi there,
This is my third visit to Japan, I intend to visit the following cities using JR pass 7 days pass.
Day 1 Hikone to Toyama
Day 2 Tateyama Alpine Route to Matsumoto
Day 3 Matsumoto to Hakodate
Day 4, 5, 6 Sapporo & nearby area
Day 7 Hakodate to Otsuki
I did some route search in Hypedia and prebook the hotel rooms
However, the recent Hypedia search (2 weeks ago) appeared 'on route' on the train to & return from Hakodate.
Is the new launch of Hokaido line covers under JR pass? Any other suitable pass to connect me from Matsumoto to Hokaido?
Thanks in advance

Starting from the 26th March the JR Pass is valid on the new Hokkaido shinkansen. You can find more information on this here: http://www.japanrailpass.net/new_year/JRP_hokkaido_eng_1225.pdf
There are no trains running between Honshu and Hokkaido from March 22 to 25, 2016 as they are getting ready for the opening of the Hokkaido.
Please be aware that the JR Pass is not valid on the Alpine Route from Ogizawa to Toyama.
Hope that helps.
Best regards
Japan Experience
