Hi,
I would like to bring my family to Sapporo Hokkaido by Shinkansen.
We would most likely start from Tokyo.
Can you advice on the best way to get tickets for the train ride and whats the cost for 2 adults and 1 child (7yrs old).
Thanks.
Rgds,
Mr Oh (Singapore)

The real question is why you'd want to take a train all the way up there. It would take you around 8 hours of sitting on the trains, completely murdering the day. Do you really want your 7 year old child to sit still for 8 hours?
Why not fly? You can be there in about 2 hours, and there are extremely cheap low cost carriers like

You could fly one way for as low as US$50.
Taking the train only makes sense if you're stopping off along the way.
Thank you for the advice.
Will consider the flying option. May get them to experience the train ride to outskirts of Tokyo on our return from Sapporo.
Thank you again.
