Tokyo to Niseko

saifaljaberi

Hi All,

I am travelling to Japan in a few days and would appreciate if anyone may assist in clarifying use of the Japan Rail Pass for trips from Tokyo to Niseko. Also it would be great if possible to provide details about train timings and best departure terminal (station) at Tokyo.

Thanks in advance.

You don't give a lot of info, but unless you are stopping off and seeing someplace along the way, it would take you about 8½ hours sitting on trains to get just to Sapporo to Tokyo - completely murdering the day. Why not fly and be up there in less than 2 hours? There are cheap low cost carriers like Jet Star, Peach and Vanilla, as well as ANA's Experience Japan Fare.
