Transport in Hakodate

Rail pass is easy to use. For reserved seat it easy to book/change timing thru ticketing machine or thru ticketing counter during operating hours. You may obtain the JR timetable from the JR counter.

JAPAN IS 🩷 Having this pass (Japan Rail Pass) is worth it. If you're planning to wander all over Japan you must acquire this pass. I''ve been to Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Sapporo and Tokyo all included especially the Shinkansen. This was my second visit in Japan and I think if ever I will back again will acquire the same pass if I need to travel all over the county (Japan).

This is my 3rd time purchasing JR Rail passes via Klook. The 1st time was the 14-days whole Japan Rail Pass and the 2nd time was the 5-days JR Hokkaido Rail Pass. This time round I booked in advance on the JR-East Ticketing website all the seat reservations for the shinkansens and limited express trains before leaving for Japan. Collected my JR Rail Pass and the tickets for all the reserved seats which I have reserved online in advance at the Midori-no Madoguchi office located at the basement of New Chitose Airport. I started using the JR East-South Hokkaido Rail Pass from 11 to 16 May 2025 after using the 5-days JR Hokkaido Rail Pass from 6 to 10 May 2025.

This pass allows you to travel quickly to tourist spots in southern Hokkaido such as Sapporo, Hakodate, and other important places, as well as to the northern part of Honshu such as Aomori, Morioka, Akita, and Sendai to see all the stations. It's really great!

We took a customized itinerary day trip from Lake Toya to Otaru including Uzusan Hellvarly on the way and it was perfect. Driver is very punctual, friendly and helpful in every way. It was a really great experience with my family taking this trip.
