Very nice indeed. How many days were you in Japan? Care to share your itinerary?

I didn't rent it from Tokyo Metro.
Brother stays in Mizonokuchi so he rented it from the car rental he usually goes to.
IIRC, the base rental rate for a 7-seater was around 65,000 Yen for 4 full days.
Not sure about petrol and tolls, brother paid using his credit card  hmm.gif

We had to drive into Tokyo Metro back to Mizonokuchi on our way back from Nikko and the roads were really damn confusing.
I wouldn't suggest driving around the main city areas for sure.

I remember driving is quite expensive in Tokyo, even for Japanese resident standard.

Guys who are familiar with Hokkaido, can I check if JR Pass cover the Airport train from Chitose to Sapporo? I checked via Hyperdia and all these trains are about 30 minutes away compared to JR trains which can take 60 minutes?

Chitose Airport got 1 train company only that is JR. I think what the different between the 30 min & 60 min is

30 min is airport express train which it will skip certain small station

60 min is local train which it will stop every station.

Thanks!

If you only visit Hokkaido, you no need JR Rail Pass
You just need Hokkaido Pass
