Kauf den Hokkaido Rail Pass, wenn du zwischen Städten unterwegs bist, und reserviere immer Plätze online oder an großen Bahnhöfen vor den stark frequentierten Ferienwochen.

Tipp: hol dir einen Hokkaido Rail Pass für mehrere lange Strecken, reserviere Sitzplätze früh an Feiertagswochenenden, damit du nicht stehen musst.

Snowy Sapporo streets at night felt magical, ramen booths are everywhere, but eating out adds up. Five days gave a good taste.
Avoid eateries around Odori Park, walk two blocks toward Susukino for cheaper bowls and izakaya where locals actually eat.
Skip restaurants on the main tourist strip, walk two blocks for family izakayas. Same dishes, better prices, friendlier service.
