How do I travel from Tokyo to Hakodate by train?
The Shinkansen from Tokyo arrives at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, not Hakodate Station. Reaching central Hakodate requires onward transport, so include transfer and waiting time when comparing itineraries. Search the complete route, seat classes and fares for your date, and confirm departure and arrival times in the results and your order.
