The super fast new Hayabusa Shinkansen trains bring tourists to Hokkaido all the way from Tokyo

By air

Just like Sapporo, it will probably be cheaper to fly if departing from outside Hokkaido, unless you’re using a rail pass. Internal Hokkaido flights can be pricey or inconvenient from Hakodate if you don’t use one of the discounts on offer from ANA or Japan Airlines.

By train

From Onumakoen station (Onuma Park), take a Limited Express train to Hakodate (25 mins, 1160 yen) or a local train, transferring at Onuma station, to Hakodate (1 hour, 540 yen). From Sapporo take a Limited Express train (4 hours, 5720 yen). If traveling from the south via the Shinkansen, first make your way to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto station. From here take a Hakodate Liner or other Hakodate bound train to Hakodate station (20 mins, 360 yen).

By bus

From Sapporo station, take a bus directly to Hakodate (5 hours, 4810 yen). Buses leave every two hours or so, including an overnight service if you want to save on accommodation for the night. Book at the bus terminal at least a day before departure.
