JR Hokkaido Revises Limited Express ‘Hokuto’ Stops for Faster Sapporo to Hakodate Travel Time
JR Hokkaido will revise the stopping stations of the limited express ‘Hokuto’ between Sapporo and Hakodate stations with the timetable revision on March 15.
For the ‘Hokuto No. 2’ from Sapporo to Hakodate, the stops at Date-Monbetsu, Onuma Koen, and Goryokaku stations will be skipped, shortening the travel time by four minutes. The total travel time will be 3 hours and 29 minutes, making it the fastest train between these two cities.
Thus, the train will depart Sapporo Station at 6:00 AM and arrive at Hakodate Station at 9:29 AM.
