Lines

Hakodate Station is the terminus of the Hakodate Main Line and the former Tsugaru-Kaikyō Line; Hakodate Municipal Transit streetcars stop at the adjacent Hakodate Eki-mae Station.

Train services

In addition to local services, the following long-distance trains serve Hakodate Station.

The following services ended in March 2016 due to the Hokkaido Shinkansen's opening From Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station to Shin-Aomori Station, which is takes a similar route of the Hakuchō\Super Hakuchō. All services go through to Tokyo station, which means the two former sleeper trains had to be discontinued due to the Hokkaido Shinkansen's opening.
