Join me travelling north from Tokyo Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto on the Hayabusa, the fastest Japanese bullet train. It's covered by your Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) - you just need to reserve a seat. It takes 8 hours for the complete trip to Sapporo - subscribe for part 2 coming soon! We decided to stop over in Hakodate for the night to see more of Japan before continuing to Hokkaido. Plus a review of the Hotel Ekimae in Hakodate at the end, where we stayed in a Japanese style hotel room with tatami mats and futons!
