In the vast area of Hokkaido, underground MRT is not well developed. In addition to driving by oneself, the mode of transportation often relies on buses and streetcars.Personally, it is highly recommended to take a streetcar for traveling, because streetcars are usually very antique, but the old carriages are equipped with flavors, which can bring a lot of riding pleasure.
The name of the Hakodate streetcar is "Hakodate City Electric". It can be said to be a bus with a track. The route is very simple. There are only two red "No. 2" and blue "No. 5" routes, but they are connected to the main attractions of Hakodate. Do not rely on the bus, take a few more steps, you can also enjoy the Hakodate area.
The two passing routes "Ban No. 2" and "Ban No. 5" are mostly overlapped. They will run separately after the "Jujigai" station. The "Jujigai" is the stop sign closest to Mount Hakodate. The route seems to be like a river, splitting into two after passing Hakodate Mountain.
Hakodate City Electric also has a one-day ticket that is necessary for the public transportation system. It costs 600 yen for adults and 300 yen for children.You can board an unlimited number of times in a day. When purchasing, the station staff will write the date of use on the ticket and show it to the driver for confirmation when you get off the bus.
If you plan to take more than three trips in a day, it is definitely recommended to buy a one-day ticket.The guide booklet will be attached to the volume to provide passengers with a simple guide to various attractions. At the same time, it can be regarded as a souvenir. Even if it is only taken once or twice, it is highly recommended to buy.
If you don’t have a one-day ticket, the way to board the bus is the same as that of an ordinary Japanese bus. When you get on the bus, you will get on the bus from the back door, and you will get a ticket to get off the bus. When you get off the bus, get off at the front door. All voted into the ballot box.
Both the official website of Hakodate Municipal Electricity and the one-day guidebook have detailed descriptions of the distances between tram stations and well-known attractions. You can use them as a reference for itinerary planning.Basically, you can visit the main attractions of Hakodate by using the streetcar.
It should be noted that, after all, streetcar routes and travel areas are limited, and some scenic spots are still a little far away from the station, such as Goryokaku. You can still walk on foot, but you have to be mentally prepared.
If you are concerned about limited physical strength and leg strength, taking a streetcar with a bus is of course the best choice. Purchasing a common ticket for Hakodate bus and city electricity allows you to ride as many times as you want, making itinerary more free and taking less travel.
Hakodate City provides "Hakodate Bus and City Electric Common 1000-Day and 500-Day Tickets". The 1700-day ticket is 850 yen for adults and XNUMX yen for children; the XNUMX-day ticket is XNUMX yen for adults and XNUMX yen for children.
Hakodate City commissions many locations to purchase the above tickets. The JR Hakodate Station is the first choice for purchase. For other sales locations, please refer to the official website.
