Hello. We're flying into HND the second week of October and staying in Tokyo and hanging out with friends for 4 nights. From there, our plan is to train to Sendai, Hakodate (hike Mount Hakodate), then train up for a few nights in Sapporo before flying back to Tokyo and then flying home.
First, I'm looking for some advice re: buying individual tickets individually vs. buying a JR pass. It appears, from https://www.jrpass.com/ that it would be cheaper to buy individual tickets. But I can't seem to figure out where to do that (in English) for the Tohoku line.
Second, I'm looking for any and all recommendations folks have for Sendai, Hakodate, and Sapporo (particularly Uni/Oyster/Seafood recommendations).
