Using the 7 days JR Pass to go from Tokyo to Hokkaido then back to Tokyo again.


Most travellers fly in to Japan via 1 of Tokyo's 2 airports (Narita Airport or Haneda Airport) and from then on, people who plans to visit Hokkaido would choose to take a 2hr domestic flight from Tokyo to Hokkaido.

However, another option is to use a 7 days JR Pass (although there's a 14 days and 21 days' version of this railpass as well) and take trains instead of flying. The cost for a 7 days JR Pass would be 29,110 yen (about SGD370 or USD290, depending on the currency exchange rate)

There are many different types of railpasses in Japan, some covers just a small region (but cheaper), but the most popular version is the 7 days/14 days/ 21 days JR pass which covers nationwide on almost all trains operated by JR company.  Trains in Japan can be expensive, especially if you had to take a Shinkansen (bullet train) since the cost of a 1 way Shinkansen could cost as much as (if not, more than) the cost of a domestic flight.  So if you had to take long distance rides on Shinkansen, then the JR Pass is very much worth getting. 
**Since JR Pass is not sold in Japan, so you would have to purchase it from OUTSIDE of Japan before you head for Japan.


Here is a sample itinerary :
 - Train timings listed here are based on 1st Sep 2014, and might change by the time of your visit, so please use Hyperdia website for a more accurate train timing.
- Some Shinkansen (bullet trains) between Tokyo and Shin-Aomori (Tohoku Shinkansen) are not updated in Hyperdia website, so in that case, please refer to JR-East's train schedule
- Except subways, most trains in Japan would have toilets onboard the train (usually at either the first or last carriage). Unless specified, the trains listed below should have toilets onboard the train.

There are not only many train lines, but there are also many different train companies operating those lines. 

For example...

Tokyo's JR map. See larger version: here

If things get too complicated for you, then the JR Yamanote Loop line is a good start for you to familiarize yourself with.  
JR Yamanote Loop line highlighted in light green.

This train line connects most of Tokyo's major stations and during peak hours, train frequency is about 1 train every 2 mins. The trains on this line runs in 2 direction...clockwise and counter clockwise.
Since this is 1 of the busiest train lines in Japan, so it is best to avoid taking this line with your luggage during peak hour since the trains would be PACKED.
