Lines
[edit]- South Hokkaido Railway Company Dōnan Isaribi Tetsudō Line (Normally ends at Goryōkaku, but trains generally serve Hakodate as well)

Train services
[edit]In addition to local services, the following long-distance trains serve Hakodate Station.
- Hokuto and Super Hokuto limited express to Sapporo
The following services ended in March 2016 due to the Hokkaido Shinkansen's opening: From Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station to Shin-Aomori Station, which 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.
