For the Red Brick Warehouses and the harbour, the Bay Area and Motomachi are the next stop on the tram.

From Hakodate Airport, the Hakobus route 8 reaches Hakodate Station in 25 minutes (¥500) and route 96 in 32 minutes (¥340). To Yunokawa Onsen the airport buses take 9 to 18 minutes. Between the two, the tram runs from Hakodate Ekimae to Yunokawa Onsen for ¥290, and to Jujigai, the stop for the Bay Area, for ¥250. The tram one-day pass is ¥800.
Dates to plan around: the Mt. Hakodate Ropeway is closed for inspection from 20 October to 8 November 2026, then runs until 20:30 for the last ascent (1 October to 19 April).
