It's about time Japan DO will make to Hokkaido!
Dekaido Hokkaido!
Since I previously lived in Sapporo, I can suggest tips/directions as well. Y'all will have fun! Hopefully I can join

The only regular ferry service between Japan and Vladivostok I can find is a service from Sakaiminato in Tottori Prefecture via Donghae in South Korea. So it may have to be a post-Do in Korea followed by a post-post-Do in Vladivostok.
BTW a free e-visa to visit Vladivostok only seems to apply to the citizens of 18 countries listed here. Most attendees of Japan Dos are unfortunately not eligible. Sorry to be a spoilsport.

Very interested and should be there. I will confirm in a few weeks once reward flights are booked. Thanks for organizing!

I haven't been to Japan in a few years and I want to explore more of the country. I'll keep my eye on this.

I have been guarding that weekend against work for a while already, so count me in for the Hokkai-Do!
However, without a transit visa or visa on arrival, count me out for Vladivostok - that visa is a sufficiently painful process that it'd need to be a proper trip for me to apply!

I have a conference in Oz a week before. Would love to make it one big trip, but might be short on time off...of course I could do 2 TPACs in proper FT fashion.
