The most interesting part might be the experience of taking a night train from Honshu to Hokkaido.
The cheap seat-only carts (like this one) were filled by mostly tourists, whereas the couchettes (bed carts) were occupied by locals. I had no problem sleeping on the reclined seat, but it got uncomfortably cold at night and I had to wrap myself in pants (didn’t bring a jacket).
It’s not exactly fun, but that’s the cheapest way to do it since it’s fully covered by the JR Pass. Plus I got to save money on a night of accommodation. Now that I have done it once, I might do it again.
Arriving Sapporo at 6 a.m. was harsh, but I will save that for the next post.
I was pretty disorganized during my trip and did not upload all the photos and videos. The complete albums for Day 1 and Day 2 are up now. For those who have been following my Flickr, there are not a lot of new photos but I added many videos.
I made an effort to take lots of videos during this trip, since most of you have seen too many of my repetitive Tokyo photos in the past. Editing videos takes time, but it is a good way to fight jetlags.
