Hokkaido
If you love the great outdoors and seasonal activities, then Hokkaido is the perfect place for you to visit in Japan. Slide down snowy slopes at ski resorts during winter, walk through a sea of lavender fields in Furano during the summer, or explore the pristine Blue Pond to see various hot springs around Biei.
Get a taste of Hokkaido's food scene as well: slurp on a bowl of Sapporo ramen at Ramen Yokocho at Susukino and pair it up with a beer tour at the Sapporo Beer Museum! Surrounded by the ocean, you can bet that the seafood served in Hokkaido is fresh and definitely one of the world's best. Afterward, why not pay a visit to a pachinko parlor to boost your luck?

I was extremely satisfied with my recent purchase of a Japan eSIM (NTT DOCOMO) through Klook! Immediately after payment, I received installation instructions and a QR code. The setup process was simple, and I was online in under two minutes. Throughout my trip, from downtown Tokyo to Mount Fuji and Karuizawa, the signal was stable and fast, whether I was on the subway, JR lines, or visiting attractions in the suburbs. Map navigation, translation apps, and ticket booking were all seamless. Sharing a hotspot with my travel companions was equally smooth, saving us the expense of purchasing individual SIM cards. The best part was not having to swap physical SIM cards, so I didn't have to worry about losing my original SIM. This is perfect for both short and long-term travelers. Overall, the price was reasonable, the network speed was excellent, and the Klook platform offered a smooth booking process with quick customer service response times. I highly recommend it!

My stay in Japan has been stress free because I am using this eSim with really fast connection. I’ve been to Hiroshima and now here in Osaka but I still get the same connection and is very reliable. I don’t have any issue as well activating the eSim and even the way I use it.

always been using this everytime we were in Japan, easy to pick up and return in the airport, the provided power bank is working and the wifi itself can last up to 12hrs. This time I used it in Hokkaido and there's internet wherever we go

The setup was quick and easy. After purchase, I received a QR code via email. I scanned it through my phone's settings, and the eSIM was activated within minutes. The signal was good. I had decent coverage in cities. I used messaging, and browsing with no problems.

This Klook tour to Lake Toya, Noboribetsu Jigokudani, and the Bear Farm was incredible! The guide was fantastic, making the journey smooth and engaging.
Lake Toya offered stunning volcanic lake views, so serene. Noboribetsu's Hell Valley was a fascinating, steaming landscape with raw geothermal power. Truly unique!
But the highlight? The Bear Farm! Seeing bears for the very first time was an absolute joy! They were so playful and captivating. It was an unforgettable experience to witness these magnificent creatures up close.
This well-organized tour was a perfect blend of natural wonders and wildlife. Highly recommend it for an exciting Hokkaido adventure!

The redemption was super easy! Just handover my passport to the station staff at the airport train station and showed her my e-ticket and my pass is out in just two minutes! got my money’s worth as I went to Asahikawa and back and almost got back the full cost of my pass. really recommend to buy this if you are planning to go to Asahikawa and back!

I recently used the 5G Japan SIM (Japan Airport Pick Up) with unlimited data for 8 days during my trip to Hokkaido, and I couldn't be happier with it!
From the moment I picked it up at the airport, the process was seamless and straightforward. Throughout my entire 8-day adventure across Hokkaido, this SIM card was an absolute lifesaver. I relied on it constantly for navigation, researching local attractions, staying connected, and sharing my experiences on social media.
The "unlimited data" claim held true – I never once experienced any slowdowns, lags, or failures. Whether I was in Sapporo, exploring the serene landscapes of Furano, or venturing into more remote areas, the 5G connection remained consistently strong and reliable. It truly made our trip so much smoother and more enjoyable, as I never had to worry about losing connectivity or running out of data.

over the years, the JR pass becomes more expensive but still so worth getting this if you plan to go around Japan (literally), if you research and plan your trip properly, this is still worh it, and of course the efficiency of Japan Shinkansen is undoublty reliable - it is timely, fast and clean. everything is smooth and we had no problem exchanging it for an actual tickets.
