Yes. From Sapporo to Hakodate and back to Sapporo already worth it

you need to calculate the route. but most of the time. the pass is worth it

btw guys.. which airport is preferable to choose? narita or haneda ?

Haneda. Closer to city

haneda

thanks guys... just another question if you guys could give an opinion.. is there any difference now between cathay pacific and cathay dragon ? these 2 airlines do fly to japan.. but would like to know its main differences, if any.

They're both the same company now

Depends where you want to go. Haneda is closer to Tokyo city. Normally it cost you more to land in Haneda.

Same company and cathay dragon is mostly regional, ie from HK to KL.

For such a short trip I would skip Hakodate and spend more time around Sapporo and your other points of interest.
If that is the case you may not need the JR pass...

enjoy ... kc

There is a mix feeling for me to choose whether Narita or haneda.
Both got pro and cons.

Haneda good in term of closer distance to City
Narita good in term of Arrival & Departure time (KUL <-> NRT)

In terms of product quality, Cathay Pacific is better. Cathay dragon is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific. Same like Singapore Airlines owned SilkAir.

For me my choice of flight (preferred airline, pricing, and schedule) is more important. Whether it goes to haneda or narita is normally just an afterthought.

I prefer Narita
I dont like midnight arrival.

i think you should choose the airline first la..


they are the same now..last time i fly outbound with Cathay Dragon and inbound with Cathay Pacific. Basically what u get are the same, even the aircraft, A330 are the same too..

Just came bk. I fly in Narita, and few days later fly off to Sapporo from Haneda. Actually don't feel any difference between these 2, as long as your hotel are easily accessible to/fr the airport and city area. Prioritise your choice based on time of flight and airline. Then get the most suitable lodging, settle.

We travel around with my boy since he was 3yrs old. Every online booking, we will indicate 2 adults n 1 child (provide age info). We don't really bother if they charge for the kid or not, just to make sure stress free for a vacation. And if any argument on hotel arrangement, with a booking properly said number of pax will always win. Recent trip, we booked a suite room in a osaka hostel. Booking indicated 2 single bed + 1 sofa bed for us 2 adults + 11yr old child. When we were there, the reception behave as in not expecting 3pax. When I insist we booked for 3pax and it mentioned sofa bed, she insist they only have sofa in the room, not sofa bed. Anyway, I don't care, and tell her my boy can have the sofa...or whatever, we just want our room without extra charge as my booking is accurate, hotel info misleading. In the end, they setup the sofa bed for us. Guess what, it really is sofa bed in the room. But don't know why they try to be funny with us.

For Japan, it is better to get a bed space for each pax. Unless you go for premium hotel or you all really small built. As you don't really know if their bed big enough to share.

Had a good time at Fuji 5 Lakes exploring some shrines and attending the nightly light-up events along Yamanakako & Kawaguchiko

anyone bought disney ticket through the website ?

i wanted to buy and print however no printer at home

anyone got experience buying from website, save the eticket as pdf then reprint somewhere?

skeptical as when i try to purchase, it asks me to make sure printer connected before buying

I have no experience buying from Disney website, but i think you at least can save as pdf to reprint. or have the pdf sent to your email

I bought from Klook, which they sent me pdf to print.

Anyway, the only important thing in the self-print is just the QR code. Usually got 4 similar QR codes at the 4 corner, so no matter how you fold the paper, you'll still get the QR code at the end.

I would like to ask if anyone knows any good website for apartment rentals? I'm gonna be living there for a year or so for work purposes in the middle of next year so I might as well plan now. Thanks!
