Easy to redeem, just need to be clear on when the voucher is expected to start as it cannot be changed once voucher is redeemed. Definitely save quite abit if travelling alot by train. The staff there also helped with the first reservation that we require.

JR Hokkaido Pass gives access to basically everything we needed to do daily trips out of Sapporo, including taking the Lavender Express Train to Furano to explore Farm Tomita and its lush surroundings. We exchanged our email QR code for the actual passes at the airport train station and it was fast and easy - just needed our passports. Highly recommended.
Referenced the voucher within 24 hours and was able to redeem it at the JR office instantly.
