I too very much want to go to Sapporo! I'd love to see some snow!!!
I'll be around Osaka soon & I'm wondering what's the cheapest way to get from Osaka to Sapporo?
"tickets are 7,500 yen tok-sap with ANA" - what does this mean?
Am I right to think that there's nothing cheaper than around 30,000 one way for say.. any day next week?

I'm going to Sapporo tomorrow !!!! And I won't be able to see Snow festival cause that's in FEBRUARI !!!!!!! ....but there is snow whoever told u 7500yen for a ticket is a liar...tickets to Sapporo are as expensive as can get at this time ;-) I think 30 000yen is about the price yeh ☝ + the fact u are in Australia makes your price a little spicier !!! I think you'll have to pay about 100 000yen (if ur lucky)

Hmmm.. what about getting a train there? Could someone please explain to me how this works & how much in total it costs to get From Osaka to Sapporo
I can't work this out! :sorry:

I figure it's too late to get a ticket "outside of Japan" & I'm not a student..
I would be travelling with my j-girlfriend who is a student.
I'm just curious as to how much in total it would cost for us to travel from Osaka to Sapporo (probably can't afford it but just checking...)
