Hi, for those bought tickets under ANA and going to CTS from KUL, do you guys have a layover in HND? If so, for an overnight layover (10pm -> 6am nxt day), am I allowed/required to clear immigration? Also, any suggestions on where can I sleep/hangout till my next flight out?

Flight code:
NH 886
NH 987
*
may i know your ANA KUL to CTS ticket how much?

Yes, my experience was when I added it, the initial top up has only apple pay payment. Used it straight away at and it works. Going to try top it up with cash at the station later.

yes
just don't topup more than needed.

AFAIK there is no minimum topup on iPhone Suica. I once topup 30yen just to get the exact balance for my last train fare in Japan
*
minimum topup 1k yen

Summer is Hokkaido Peak season. Japan website very sneaky and rasict. Peak season, you need to have Japan IP address....you VPN your IP into JP, magic will happen.

wow, summer is hokkaido peak season, good to know...but because of the weather or what?

Ya, I am still hesitating about this Sapporo-Noboribetsu Area Pass. The only advantage I can see so far is it covers up to Noboribetsu. Wanted to go Hakodate (maybe can see ending of sakura) but train took about 4 hours. Going in middle May so no lavendar hence skipping Furano/Biei too. Just 2 pax. This is my itinerary for now. Is Jozankei worth going?

Day 0 - Arrive 7:35 PM, Sapporo
Day 1 - Sapporo
Day 2 - Otaru daytrip
Day 3 - Jozankei daytrip
Day 4 - Noboribetsu (still thinking daytrip or overnight)
Day 5 - Depart 8:30 PM
*
mid of may might be no sakura already, this year i go hokkaido on their golden week, full bloom anywhere on sapporo area and southern are(hakodate)
if your hotel at sapporo, hakodate last train back to sapporo around 6pm++, all seat need to book first
