The sudden early snowfall that hit various parts of Hokkaido in mid-October signaled that this winter has arrived particularly early. If you want to travel in the romantic snow country of Hokkaido and arrange your itinerary as smoothly as possible, the JR Hokkaido Expert Group’s “Winter Railway Academy” will be held on December 7 at the One Heart Hall of Kaohsiung’s Formosa Boulevard Station and on December 8 at Taipei’s Eslite Xinyi Store. The most popular expert group, along with popular Hokkaido-themed bloggers such as Ta Shu, Via, and San Xiao A, will share their top travel tips for Hokkaido.

This year, experts from Furano, Eastern Hokkaido, and Sapporo are joining in the fun. The lecturers will start with the basics of understanding winter railway independent travel, helping you get to grips with Hokkaido’s transportation system — so even first-timers need not fear tackling a snow country adventure on their own. The second session will go into detail about using great-value tickets to explore with ease, sharing essential money-saving tips, plus exclusive insider info available only to attendees.
