Hakodate Haikara-Go (Regular 2025 services are suspended)
Step Back into Taisho-era Hakodate
The Hakodate Haikara-go is a cherished, limited-time streetcar. Its vintage exterior and period interior transport riders straight back to the romantic Taisho era (1912–1926), making it a dream for photography enthusiasts. When in service (typically weekends and holidays), it offers a unique blend of sightseeing and city transport. (Service may be suspended during inclement weather or maintenance periods.)
Launched in 1918, this unique car later found fame as a “Sasara Train,” utilizing bamboo brushes to sweep snow from the tracks—a fascinating detail of Hokkaido’s transit history—before its restoration as a tourist attraction in 1993.
Fares are collected onboard by the conductor—a delightful, rare feature today. Be sure to keep the beautifully designed ticket stub as a unique souvenir. As streetcars are only found in Hakodate and Sapporo, riding the Haikara-go offers an exclusive, nostalgic way to explore the city.
