Noboribetsu-Onsen, Hokkaido



Good morning!! Let's go to Noboribetsu!!

7:30am: Woke up!

We slept last night that without deciding how to go Noboribetsu-Onsen's plan for tomorrow. My friend had watched dramas on TV till 3am, whereas I took a shower and fell asleep right away after.

This hotel is 'Royal Stay Hotel' in Sapporo. It was clean and cheap, so I recommend it. check it out please.

We got up and checked the way each other. We knew that taking a bus was cheaper than taking the train, but the train arrived earlier, so we took the train instead as we wanted to reach our destination earlier. 

9:40am: Checked out of our hotel.

It took us 8 minutes to walk to Susukino station from the hotel. It costs 160 yen to travel to Sapporo station from Susukino stationWhen we went to the JR ticket reservation office, the counter staff there told us: "I suggest that you buy the S ticket for Noboribetsu station". The S ticket is a cut price package that consists of 4 one way tickets. So, if you are traveling with somebody, it is much more economicalThe normal price of a round trip costs 4,480 yen per person, whereas the S ticket costs 8,120 yen for 4 one way tickets, so effectively, the round trip fare costs 4,060 yen per person if you buy the S ticket and travel with another person. 



Please remember this, if you do come to Hokkaido and are traveling to :)
