Route and train

The Shinkansen stops at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, outside the city. The fare shown is to that station; the JR Hakodate Liner continues to Hakodate Station and is also covered by the JR Pass.

Does the JR Pass cover it?

No Nozomi or Mizuho trains run on this route, so the JR Pass covers it with no extra ticket.

Is a JR Pass worth it for this trip?

A round trip (¥48,400) is about 97% of a 7 day JR Pass (¥50,000). One or two more long legs in the same week could tip it in the pass's favour; run your whole route through the planner.

Local JR lines

In Hakodate, visitors mostly get around by subway, tram or bus rather than JR, so the location planner counts no local JR spend there. Those are not covered by the JR Pass.
