Getting Around

Furano

The sights around Furano are not easily reachable via public transportation.¹ One can get around on rental bicycles. If arriving via air, a bicycle can be rented over multiple days from Fuji Shoukai in Asahikawa.² If you arrive by train in Furano, it's possible to rent an electric bike from the Furano Nature Club, but it seems one must rent on a day-by-day basis.³ However, it may be best to just bring one's own bike and pay the fees to transport it via the train.⁴

If you do not want to bike, then the sightseeing buses are an option. However, the buses mainly only run during summer months, and are not a serious exploration option.

Yokohama

Yokohama has a very complete transit system. While central Yokohama can easily be explored on foot, there are two buses that loop around central Yokohama: the Bayside Blue Bus with an endpoint at Yokohama Station, and the Akaikutsu Bus with an endpoint at Sakuragicho Station.⁵

If you fancy sightseeing, then you have the option of a voyage along Yokohama's bay area via the Sea Bass (wordplay on "Sea Bus"⁶). It has a stop at each peninsula, as well as one near Yokohama Station.⁷

Fukuoka

Fukuoka has a subway that connects most major locations, including Hakata Station, the city's main station, and Fukuoka Airport.⁸ A cheaper option will be the Nishitetsu bus lines, with a route map⁹ so comprehensive that many computers will struggle to render it.
