We travelled via Shingansen (bullet train). The ticket and reservation of seat is done on the first day (which can be found Here) when we arrived at the Narita Airport. Travelling from Tokyo to Hokkaido takes about 9 - 10 hours of ride (need to change in between) and we choose to take a night ride which save us one night on hotel expenses =p
Shingansen
The seat is spacious and comfortable (enough space for us to stretch our leg), it is very clean as well(the staff will clean up the train at the first/last station before boarding). Behind the seat (in front of you) they have dinning table for you to place your foods and etc.
Toilet~ Clean and class...
Our dinner for that night, we bought at the station while waiting for the train.Traveling time takes total 10hrs, 3hrs from Tokyo to Shin-Amori via Shingansen, and another 7hrs from Shin-Amori to Sapporo via normal night train (where the seat can be adjusted lower for us to reach laying position)
How the night train look like
Toilet Bowl is separated from the basin. Apologize for the unsightly appearance =x surprising how come this toilet so different from the other train we have been =x
Finally~ we reached our destination. First thing is to proceed to our hotel, Hotel Route Inn Sapporo, to deposit our luggages (check in timing for hotel(almost all) in Japan is 2pm) before continue our journey.
Our Breakfast for that day, Oden, which can be purchase in their 7-11 store. Having something warm in cold weather make u feel like heaven........
After touring nearby sceneries, we took train to our next destination - 白色恋人馆
