    Try the Hakodate's streetcars, the first in Hokkaido, were put in service in 1913. The Chinchin-densha(Tinkle-tinkle streetcar) nicknamed 'Hakodate Dandy,' a reproduction of a streetcar that served in the Meiji era.

    Spotted alot of trishaw pullers near the JR Hakodate Station and around the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses, so I reckon they are ferrying tourists to and fro for a fee. Although I did not try it but it should be quite interesting.

    Tram around Hakodate

    You don't really need to take trams to anywhere else in Hakodate other than probably to Fort Goryokaku or to the Yunokawa Onsen. Pllaces like the Motomachi District, Mount Hakodate and Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses are really within walking distance from one another. Price of the tram is really dependent on the distance traveled (200 - 240 JPY).

    Do always remember to take a ticket when you board the tram. On the ticket there will be a stop number, and the price of your fare will be reflected on a LED display board near the driver - Just check your fare out by tallying it with the stop number. Drop the ticket and your coins into the machine slot and you're good to go! Well you can also bring out all your coins with your ticket when in doubt and the kind driver will calculate your fare and make the payment for you.

    the easiest way to explore Hakodate is by Hakodate Tram or bus.
    Get the one day pass for tram and bus (1000yen) or 2 days pass (1700yen)
    You can buy from the driver directly.

    To and from Hakodate can be easily done by the JR railway. I took the limited express train from JR Hakodate Station to Lake Toya.

    The ropeway station is found in the Motomachi District and costs about 1160 JPY for a return trip up and down Mount Hakodate.

    I got my return ropeway trip at a discount with a voucher found in one of the shops in Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse around the bay area.
