I ma emailed the officers in embassy of Japan, they say wait til 1st July. and if you are preparing your documents for visa applying, sit and wait for 1st July.

just heard from one fm radio saying that starting 1st July 2013 no need visa to visit japan, just use the passport with the embedded chip and u can go in for 90 days

most hostels only accept older than 12 years old..

No direct flight unless u follow tour. U can take flight to tokyo then get domestic flight to sapporo, cheapest need about rm800 to n fro

thx 4 suggestion, kobe nvr pop up in my mind, will do some research if transport is nt too hassle

thanks guys. maybe misquoted not most economical. bus would take too long. maybe domestic flt i guess or train?

Thanks.

last time i came across this discounted domestic air flight ticket in japan for foreigner
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2364.html

i didn't really go understand how does it work as i didn't travel to sapporo tat time
u may try to read n understand, maybe u can get cheaper flight

or u may try to buy a 7days or 14 days JR pass, travel from tokyo to sapporo using shinkansen (u may need to switch station)

good luck hunting the info

Yeah i managed to find that last nite while doing research. Thanks.

btw i luve that cat pic. its like groooovy......

AAX to Osaka, then Peach Japan to Sapporo.

Peach is damn cheap.

OK lotsa options. thanks everyone i'll proceed with my research.

Oops, AAJ is cheaper than Peach, but the problem is that AAJ flies from Narita, so you need to transfer from Haneda to Narita if you fly AAX.

Peach more convenient, AAJ cheaper.

*edit* The transfer from Haneda to Narita will cost 3000 JPY by train 1 way, which makes the prices almost the same. Peach probably better.

I usually take Eva Air if going Hokkaido. [[RM1600 go and return]] from KL to Taipei ( overnight at airport / Taipei city) next morning 9.50 am flight from Taipei to Hokaido [[RM1800 go and return]] Cons part are you have to overnight at Taipei only.


Train are best option because on way you can see the pretty view. Another best option are overnight sleep train from Tokyo to Sapporo. ''Cassiopera class'' very gooding train

It go such thing something like Domestik flight pass. Same like JR train pass....you have to apply it at Malaysia first before go. Once you got this pass you can buy any domestic flight ticket with JAL / ANA with 10,000 Yen only.

Not like JR rail pass is free....this pass still have to pay 10,000 Yen
