Getting around
Hakodate's sights are spread out. If you don't fancy walking there's a good tram system with two lines, both starting at the onsen resort of Yunokawa east of the city. Each runs past Goryōkaku and the train station before diverging at the Jūjigai stop in Motomachi. From here, tram #5 heads west to Hakodate Dokku-mae, while tram #2 continues further south to Yachigashira on the eastern side of Hakodate-yama. One-day (¥1000) and two-day passes (¥1700) can be bought from the tourist office for unlimited use of both the trams and city buses (but not Hakodate Bus Company buses).
