Dear Mari,
Thanks for your feedback.
I would like to seek your advise on my following travel plan in Japan:
I will travel from Hakata to Tokyo on 13th April night as per your suggestion above (travel from Hakata to okayama and then travel from okayama to Tokyo. Arrive tokyo on 14th April at 0708.)
After arriving tokyo as stated above, I would like to continue travel to Sapporo on the following route:
Tokyo to Shin - aomori: 0732-11:09 Shinkansen Hayate 15
Shin-aomori to Hododate: 11:35-13:44 Ltd exp super Hakucho 15
Hakodate to Sapporo JR : 1400-17:29 Ltd exp Hokuto 11
I would like to know your comments. Is above plan possible? The concern is when I arrive Tokyo from Okayama, it will be 0708 hrs, is it enough time to travelt to the platform travelling to Sapporo? I will only have less than 30 minutes in between two trains. Is the time table very accurate? How far is the platform when I arrive from Okayama and the platform that I will take train to sapporo?
Is it advisable to travel with long time in the train? Is there any place for me to stretch my hands and legs and do simple exercise as I will be sitting long time in the train.
How about wash room in the train, is it big enough to wash face, brush teeth?
How about food on the train? Is there any food catering services on the train? Can we see the menu on the line?
Many thanks for your feedback and comment.
Rgds, Catherine
