When it comes to getting around like a local, nothing beats the convenience of public transport. For tourists, however, it can be a little overwhelming and confusing — not to mention the hassle of fishing for spare change in your pocket every time you need to ride. If you're planning a trip around South Hokkaido and Tohoku, do yourself a favor and purchase a JR East South Hokkaido Rail Pass.

This pass allows unlimited rides on JR East Shinkansen bullet trains in Tohoku, JR Hokkaido lines in Southern Hokkaido, and other JR-operated transportation. Valid for 6 days of your choice within a 14-day period, it's great value for those who want to visit Mount Hakodate, Hirosaki Castle, Nyuto Onsen, and other destinations in the area. Take advantage of this great offer to see a lot more for a lot less!

With this pass, you can explore as far as Otaru Canal, Hokkaido
