Hi, need some advice.
For those who have travelled to Sapporo, what is your travel route usually and what airlines do you take for the respective legs of the journey (eg. Sin-Tokyo, Tokyo-Sapporo).
When is the best time to book these tickets? Thanks! -

you can fly from Tokyo to Chitose then travel back from Memanbetsu to Tokyo (depends on your purpose).
February is The Snow Festival so you should book before 2-3 months. or else other seasons. And I recommend JAL. -

I'm not sure if the transport you will be taking in Osaka is covered by JR. But the bus from Kanazawa to Shirakawago, the express electric train from Nagano to Yudanaka, and the tourist bus in Kanazawa are not by JR. So whether u have the pass or not, you need to pay separately for these. The only way to know if JR pass is worth it is for you to check all the buses and trains you plan to take to see which are part of JR and add up the cost, then compare it with the cost of the pass you plan to buy. Very tedious, but no other way. If the pass cost is just slightly more expensive, I still recommend it for it's convenience. I notice your trip is quite long. So you can get the 7 day pass and only use for part of your trip, the part with the most expensive trains, or buy for the whole trip if the cost justifies.Hi,
