| Hokkaido is well served by JR rail lines. From Sapporo,
you can get to the north, east and south directly by express
train. The trains have various facilities, so you can enjoy
a relaxing trip. As well, expansive Hokkaido has an advanced
road system, and it is possible to get to all regions of Hokkaido
by car. Another attraction for car travel is that the roads
are wider and have less traffic than standard Japanese roads.
You can enjoy real Hokkaido scenery of hills and mountains
from a car window.
