Is it worth it?

Add the normal one-way fares of the rides you plan within 7 days (from the fare charts at stations or a route planner).

    Express, seat and Green car charges are usually not included in a pass: leave them out of the fares too unless the pass covers them.

    How to use it

    1. Buy it on Ekinet (cheaper) or at a main JR Hokkaido station or ticket machine.
    2. Ride local and rapid trains (non-reserved) and free reserved seats on limited expresses that use unassigned seat tickets, plus JR Hokkaido Bus, for 7 days.
    3. Reserve up to 6 ordinary reserved seats (not the SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen).
