2014 FYVE JAPAN CAMP
I enjoyed the shopping in Sapporo, much less hectic than Tokyo.
And there is also the Sapporo Beer Hall. http://www.sapporo-bier-garten.jp/foreign/english.php
I reckon a day trip into Sapporo is the go though?????
Easily done on a down day!!!!!
Not much really goes on in Sapporo!!!!!
A bit of nightlife in Susukino, but that’s about it really!!!!!
Im only there for 1 night im sure ill have plenty to keep me occupied 
Yes I think I shall visit that beer hall 
I suppose it depends on the person .
I could think of nothing worse than a 4 hour return trip…
Maybe Dylan has an early flight out in the am?
My included transfer from niseko to sap is on the 6th and my flights on the 7th, thats why im having a day there
All good!!!!!
Is ya transfer to Sapporo or Chitose Airport?????
Good question Mizu!
If your transfer is to the airport don’t catch the bus back into town! Some bright spark told us to catch the bus - stupid idea. OMG our trip was hell.
Catch the train!
Yea its to the airport, cheers for the heads up
Yeah, a lot of people think the Airport is in Sapporo!!!!!
The Airport is about an hour out of Sapporo, so like Oz said, get the train from Kutchan > Otaru > Sapporo!!!!!
Use the Hyperdia APP to get your timetables!!!!! (*Dont open the APP till a day or two before you fly out of SYD, that way ya won’t have to “renew” it)
That way you can stop by Otaru and do a bit of Sake Tastin too!!!!!
Oh I was talking about the train from Sapporo Airport into the city.
How much is the train from Kutchan?
The visit to Otaru would be a cool way to spend your time though Dylan.
Depends on what train, but I think it’s only around $30!!!!! (Hyperdia has the prices on it)
I’d use the Takyubin to take my luggage from Niseko > Airport, then just pack enough stuff in a backpack for the night in Sapporo!!!!!
That way, he can have a wander around without the hassle of luggin gear!!!!!
Plus Bus to Chitose ~2.5 Hrs, Train Chitose > Sapporo ~40mins!!!!!
As opposed to ~1.5hrs Kutchan > Sapporo by train!!!!! (Without a stop in Otaru)
Plus Bus to Chitose ~2.5 Hrs, Train Chitose > Sapporo ~40mins!!!!!
As opposed to ~1.5hrs Kutchan > Sapporo by train!!!!!
Valid points!
But at least you don’t have to decided today Dylan.
Who knows maybe you will be keen to spend more time with new buddies on the bus and wave goodbye at the aiport or something LOL.
The option of the train is there!
Just had a look on Hyperdia, cost is ¥2090 on the day that Dyldo has to travel, with the quickest at 118 mins depending on Otaru Change!!!!!
