i will be travelling to hokkaido around mid Jun'13... done some research but still want to hear from you guys... i had some places to visit in my mind and look back to the map... hell it is quite a distance to travel...
i saw there is a JR pass sort of thing cost around RM473 for a 4days trip (travel around in sapporo/hokkaido), it is wise to get that? actually i've been in tokyo for last time... this time i plan to spend 4days in hokkaido, 1day disneysea, 2days walking around tokyo city...
recommed some must visit place for hokkaido to me yea... thx a lot !

QUOTE(estcin @ Mar 19 2013, 09:24 AM) Around Sapporo and its outskirts still can be reached by train and bus (eg Otaru). But if u intend to go Furano n Biei for lavender viewing, need to rent car or follow tour. They have a Tourist Info Center at Sapporo Station. If only around Sapporo no need buy the JR pass, just buy their prepaid card for 1000 yen but they give 1100 yen credit. so much thanks for your feedback.. if lets say i gonna join the tour... is it i need to stick with whole trip or just merely few visiting places only? i'm not sure what the trip has included... any website can i read up? and normally how big is the group if like that? |

QUOTE(estcin @ Mar 19 2013, 09:24 AM) But June i think lavender havent fully bloom. U can go Otaru and Odori Park, Hitsujigaoka Hill, Hokkaido Shrine. If shopping, there are 2 outlet malls: Mitsui and Chitose outlet malls. My friends say Chitose better, but its near airport, whereas Mitsui near Sapporo. U can also go Sapporo Beer Factory guess the earth and weather got some twisting in recent years... sakura came so much early this year... possible for lavender to come early as well?  and for visa application, do we need to give our income bank statement or just a FD statement prove i got at least 10k in the bank then can already?  i'm planning to let CIT Travel get my visa done ... |

QUOTE(estcin @ Mar 19 2013, 10:16 AM) If can, submit both bank statement and FD. Just to prove u have a lot savings. Cos their main worry is u jump plane there. Other documents pls follow the requirements on the embassy website. U can ask ur fren or family to submit and collect for u. Not necessary let travel agent earn i got working and it is not so convenient for me to travel over there... hmm... i also think that they sked we jump plane over there... if i want travel on July'13, i can apply now right? approx how long the process will be taken? |

QUOTE(estcin @ Apr 12 2013, 11:05 AM) Go there and queue up. They will give u a pass and ask u to return about 1 hour later so u no need queue there for 1 hour. When u return later, then have to queue about 30 mins until ticket counter. thanks for your reply... by the way, how long can we spend on the sky tree? and nearby got any attraction for us to visit while waiting? |

QUOTE(estcin @ May 31 2013, 12:43 AM) Check first page of the thread i think got pocket wifi for rent. Can pickup from airport. U can go tourist centre in Sapporo station to inquire the local tours hi bro, thanks for yr reply.. i see the 1st page but dont find any... somehow i did googled and found www.japan-wireless.com i do prefer to pay and pick up the wifi device on the spot... if pay online and ask them send to japan might be a lil bit hassle... is it possible have an option exactly like whats inside my mind? after researc again, i think furano can't escape d... hv to follow tours since i dont hv international license... |
