It’s our first day of travel in Japan and we are getting out of Tokyo! In today’s video, we make the long train journey up to Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan’s four main islands. The best way to cover such a long distance is aboard the Shinkansen also known as the bullet train. We’ll navigate riding the metro during rush hour, pick up our JR train tickets at the station, buy an ekiben (train bento box) to enjoy during the trip, and enjoy the scenic ride across Japan. We can’t wait to share some Hokkaido travel videos with you, but first up, let’s get to our destination!

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a pleasure to travel around northern Japan with you!
So you're starting your journey at Ueno station. You'll take a local train to Tokyo station to board the Shinkansen and the first Shinkansen stop is Ueno. All northbound Shinkansen trains on the Tohuku high speed line will make a stop at Ueno. It doesn't make any sense…
JR pass is a ripoff now
I love Hokkaido best way now to save money fly or take bus to Aomori then ferry

Hokkaido is my next trip to Japan. Thanks for the tips.
Btw couldnโt you have boarded the Shinkansen from Ueno, instead of going to Tokyo? I thought all north bound Shinkansens halted at Ueno.
That green train ought to be called el nari gon

Train rides are such a relaxing way to travel, at least once you're comfortably seated.

Welcome to Hokkaido. There's not much to do here, but I hope you enjoy it!
As far as I know, we are the first foreign couple to come from Tokyo by Shinkansen!

Can't believe you guys are doing such a similar schedule to the one I'll be doing in a couple of weeks. I'm going to be spending the night at Hakodate as I want to explore the city a bit and head up the mountain to catch the night view. Going to be in Sapporo for 3 days after that so I can't wait to see what you guys do there.
That is so cool that you enjoy your trip. I am in Buenos Aires for three weeks and the dollar is so strong. This has been a great experience.
I have been walking all around downtown and yesterday I had a full day with family.
My heart is overflowing with love.
Welcome back๏ผ๏ผ

Good morning ! Audrey and Samuel . BEAUTIFULL ALL !!!!!. THANKS ๐ฆ๐ท๐
I didn't know you could book Shinkansen tickets through Klook and just scan a QR code at the station to recieve tickets. I used the ticket machines to reserve our seats and its such a pain when booking with JR Pass. Not hard, just a pain and time consuming… especially when others are waiting to use the machines. I doubt I will ever buy a Japan Rail Pass again especially now that the price has gone up.

From the beginning,if I'm not wrong,you can get shinkansen straight from ueno to shinhakodate.Just FYI
You can go to Hokkaido by Shinkansen from Ueno Station too๐

Hi guys! I can't believe I'm in Japan at the same time as you guys! I've just come from Kyoto and would strongly advise against visiting. It has some of the worst over-tourism I've ever experienced. Masses and masses of tourists ruining the experience. Enjoy the North…stay clear of Honshu…
at least for another month!!! Arigato!!!
