Hokkaido Tourism Accommodation Strategy+Transportation Strategy

Do you have any plans to go to Hokkaido? Bian Xiao, today, let you know something about Hokkaido. Maybe you'll want to visit this place after reading the raiders. Before it's too late, let's start now.

Pay attention to the timetable and applicable period when buying JR train tickets in Hokkaido, because the operating hours of Japanese websites will change every few months. Before you leave, you can go to official website, JR, Japan and get to know official website, JR, Japan.

JR Hokkaido Railway Pass: Mainland driver's license can't rent a car in Hokkaido, so taking JR has become the main mode of transportation to visit Hokkaido. You can buy it by presenting your passport at the foreign passenger service center of JR station, which is divided into 3-day coupons, 5-day coupons, 7-day coupons and optional 4-day coupons. Use 3-day tickets, 5-day tickets and 7-day tickets continuously. When buying, you need to tell the conductor when to open. If you choose a 4-day ticket, you can choose four days in ten days. You don't need to specify the opening date when purchasing.

If you don't buy a travel pass, you can also buy a ticket separately. It costs money to buy a ticket to designate a seat, but you can designate a seat for free with a travel pass. The transportation fee in Japan is very expensive, so it is more cost-effective to buy a travel pass.

Trains that can be allocated seats free of charge by using Hokkaido Railway Pass include: Express Airport (new chitose airport to Sapporo, frequency 15 minutes), Express Train, Express Train, and other sightseeing trains, such as Fuye Meiying local train. There are no designated seats on the ordinary train, because there are only a few carriages on the ordinary train.

Fuyano Meiying Pass: If you mainly visit Fuyano Meiying, you can also choose to buy Fuyano Meiying Pass. This pass is divided into two tickets, A and B, and is valid for 4 days. The fare from Sapporo is 5,550 yen/person, and the fare from Chitose Airport is 7,665,438 yen +00 yen/person, which is cheaper than Hokkaido Pass, but you can only take free seats, and you need extra seats to specify seats. Regarding the JR ticket, at the new chitose airport Foreigners Center, the staff will patiently help us analyze it, and the Chinese service will never step on the thunder.

Welcome to Otaru-Sapporo

Pass: Only foreign tourists can buy it. When buying, they need to show their passports. Price 1700 yen/person. They can take JR in Otaru, Sapporo for one day, with a one-day ticket to Sapporo subway. You need to specify the date of use when purchasing, but the attached one-day subway ticket can be used on different dates, which is very humanized.

Traffic 1, because we are on the first line for a long time, if we buy a 7-day ticket: 1. We don't run in different cities every day, so we can't make full use of it. Secondly, it can't completely satisfy all our trips. So we bought a 4-day pass for Fuye Meiying, which was divided into AB tickets. One ticket was from Sapporo to Asahikawa, and we took it after sitting. From Asahikawa to Furano, all round-trip expenses are included within 4 days. B ticket is asahikawa to sapporo. This is the content of Furano's four-day communication with the United States and Britain ~

In addition, I bought one-day tickets for Asahikawa-Hoshino, Hoshino-Sapporo and Sapporo-Otaru. This kind of purchase is the most economical way that we discussed repeatedly before we left, and the JR staff in new chitose airport also enthusiastically helped us push the certificate again and again. Nobody!

2. We make full use of the hotel bus and free bus, which is also quite convenient and economical, and almost all of them are seamlessly connected. You can refer to it

A: new chitose airport-Dengbie, there is a ticket office on the first floor of the airport, and the center of Daonan Road can be seen everywhere. Look at the timetable and buy it. Just buy a ticket and go out and turn right.

B: The boarding gate is very small. You can get off at the bus stop and board other buses, or you can get off at the bus stop in front of each hot spring hotel. The bus to Toyako also got off at that station, which is close to all hotels. Walk for 5- 10 minutes at most, and take a walk with a suitcase, which is not a burden at all.

C: Most hotels in Toyako are near the lake, so there are also many bus stops on that road. There is a stop less than 20 meters in front of Naizhifeng Hotel. Japanese buses stop by ringing the bell. If you are worried that you have missed your stop, please show the driver the name of the hotel you are going to.

D: The hotel in Toyako has a free shuttle bus to Sapporo. You need to make an appointment in advance when you check in.

In terms of accommodation and booking, everyone should shop around! The price difference is very big! The sooner you book, the cheaper it is, and it's not a little cheaper! ! !

I have two principles when booking a hotel, one is characteristic and the other is convenience. For holiday-oriented destinations, I usually look for the most distinctive hotels in the area. In Japan, the characteristics are of course hot springs and delicious food. On the contrary, in transit or shopping destination cities, I will focus on the location of the hotel, near the station and the distance that can be reached on foot, which has a lot to do with the convenience of travel.

Then I strongly recommend E-Road Shadow. Only by comparing will I find out. Do you only know how to collect money from Ctrip after receiving the reservation confirmation from E-Road _ Shadow and Ctrip? E-Road _ Ying is rich in packages and affordable, which is beyond Ctrip's reach. Compared with Jalan, E-Road _ Ying is still in Japanese, which is really one of the best.

As can be seen from my itinerary above, booking tickets on E Road _ Ying basically requires credit card guarantee, check.

You can unsubscribe before the specified date, and Ctrip will deduct the fee immediately.

1, Japan's housing prices are calculated according to the number of people, a family of three, children have to charge room fees!

2. In larger cities like Sapporo and Asahikawa, try to choose hotels near JR Station, which is more convenient for travel.

If you stay in a city for more than two nights, try to choose the same hotel, so as to avoid the trouble of dragging your luggage to find a new hotel. After all, we are out for fun, and it is a waste of time to keep changing hotels. Of course, I like to experience different hotel styles.

4. If there are arrangements for staying in Sapporo for one night, then staying in other places for a few days, and then returning to Sapporo, try to choose the same hotel for accommodation in Sapporo, so that some unnecessary luggage can be stored in Sapporo Hotel, just take your belongings and change clothes and go into battle lightly. There are no escalators at JR Station in Hokkaido, such as Toyako and Dengdeng. It will be very tiring to drag heavy suitcases up and down. Most hotels in Sapporo can provide luggage storage service. If you are not sure, please ask the hotel by email.

5. The check-in time of Japanese hotels is generally 3 pm, and the check-out time is generally 10 am or1am the next day. If you arrive early, you can leave your luggage for a trip and come back.

6. Fu Meiying Liangye can choose a homestay, if your travel plan is set earlier ~ ~ ~

In summer, the B&B is not ideal, and there is no room at all. In fact, you can choose to live in asahikawa like us. It takes less than 1 hour to take JR from Asahikawa to Furano, and only half an hour to Meiying. You can also watch the scenery outside the window in the car, and there are many places to go back to Asahikawa for dinner at night. Youyano Meiying is a village. Many stores close early at night, so they usually choose to pack meals in the homestay, and the price is really not low. Of course, the nightlife in the quiet countryside is also interesting, depending on personal preference and itinerary.

7. Hotels in Japan are more expensive than usual on weekends. If you stay for more than two nights, and the time coincides with weekends and peacetime, it is recommended to book separately and form two orders, which can be much cheaper.

Some useful websites collected information and booked hotels during this trip to Hokkaido, mainly referring to beehives and poor tours.

3. Transportation transit inquiry (including fare): Transportation transit inquiry.

Our last day was by plane at night, so we went shopping in advance. We can really go shopping for most of the day. There are many things to eat and play in it, so we can't leave the airport and buy all the specialties in Hokkaido. The price is the same as that in the urban area ~ ~

The general distribution of scenic spots, don't think about going all over, just choose the classic:

Meiying: the hills of the four seasons, Zerubo, and the hills of the northwest.

Mi Shang Liang Ye: Come out during the day, Mi Shang Liang Ye in Huaxiang, Jianye Lane _, Lavender East Garden in Futian Farm.

Nakatomi Yoshino: Futian farm, Maji lavender garden, and colorful incense places.

Fu Liang Ye: the lavender forest on the plateau, the grape mountain with fu Liang Ye, the wind garden and the platform for watching feet.

Fu Nan Liangye: Jinshan Lake and Lavender Garden. Each farmhouse has its own characteristics, and the types and flowering periods of flowers are different.

Visa, currency, Internet card visa: Ma Yunjia found it, once 3 18/ person. Because we have five-year entry and exit records in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, we can enjoy high-quality customer service, free of deposit, super simple information and no need to pull the bank. Japan's free travel visa must be applied to the embassy through a travel agency. After the materials were sent out, the travel agency sent an email to a travel itinerary and specially called to take care of it in case there was a telephone spot check. However, we didn't encounter the telephone spot check, and the visa came down in less than ten working days.

Japanese yen exchange: the hotel we booked has advance payment, credit card or JR ticket. So I don't plan to bring too much Japanese yen. Before I left, I changed RMB 1 000 from the Bank of China. Accommodation and transportation are the most important. Eating and shopping vary from person to person, and people are rich and frugal. Except for small shops that need cash to eat, drink and buy some small things, others can basically swipe their cards.

Internet card: considering that my father and I may occasionally act separately, we don't consider mobile wifi, although it has strong signal and high speed, and can also connect to hot spots. The network card we bought, from Ma Yunjia ~

Shopping Tax Refund In addition to household appliances and wallets, Japan's new tax-free system also adds new tax-free items such as food, medicine and beauty products. The new duty-free goods are targeted at the daily consumption of 50-500,000 yen per store; Household appliances, purses and fashionable clothes are suitable for every store every day 1000 yen or more; New duty-free goods cannot be used on the road; You need to take the new duty-free goods abroad within 30 days.

At present, Japan's tax refund system is really the most convenient to contact. If you shop in a drugstore, there is a tax refund counter directly. When you check out, you should seal up your purchases. Because you can't open them during the trip, if you need something, you can't settle it at the duty-free counter. This needs attention. After the settlement, a receipt will be posted next to your visa page, and a special staff member will tear it up at the airport, so please don't take it off to avoid being checked on the way. Although we arrived at the airport, nobody cared about it at all. If I had known, I would have wrapped it. )

Shopping in shopping malls means that every shopping mall has a centralized tax refund counter. If you have cosmetics, you should take them to the tax refund counter. It's really convenient to operate and seal bags like a drugstore. The store tax refund will directly return your cash, without going to the airport for centralized tax refund.
