hi all,

going to backpack in hokkaido this coming october, just want to ask if anyone of you are familiar with jr hokkaido. I plan to buy the jr pass but it seems there are some restricted routes as mentioned in the second link (the brochure) point no. 3. it says routes between sapporo - asahikawa, - mombetsu....etc does it mean both way or only from sapporo to asahikawa?

Ana now offer 'experience Japan fare campaign' travel period till October will go on sale tomorrow, the flight is operated by airdo, at a price of 10500 plus tax per flight, is this price more expensive or cheaper than directly buy from airdo? Airdo has many price category, I dunno which one is applicable to me

I want to fly to asahikawa instead of new chitose ..hehe, jetstar doesnt have
