The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a public transport authority in Hakodate, Japan. The bureau currently operates only trams, although until 1 April 2003[1] it also ran a number of bus routes.

The Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., a private horsecar operating company, opened Hakodate's first tram line in 1897. It was the first tram in Japan to be located north of Tokyo. The network was electrified in 1913. Following several changes of ownership, the Hakodate City Government finally took over control of the lines in 1943.[2]

Hakodate City Tram

There were once twelve routes operating on six lines with a total length of 17.9 km. However, declining ridership led to closure of parts of the network in 1978, 1992, and 1993. The current network consists of two routes operating on four lines with a total length of 10.9 km.

  • Lines: Officially, there are four lines:
  • Routes: There are two routes in regular service, using the above lines as follows:[3]
■ Route 2 (2系統): Yunokawa — Matsukazechō — Hakodate-Ekimae — Jūjigai — Yachigashira
■ Route 5 (5系統): Yunokawa — Matsukazechō — Hakodate-Ekimae — Jūjigai — Hakodate-Dokku-mae

For most of the day, trams run every ten minutes on each route, or every five minutes on the section between Yunokawa and Jūjigai, which is shared by both routes. After 19.00 the frequency is reduced to one tram every twenty minutes on each route, or every ten minutes on the shared section.

ICAS nimoca Card, a magnetic prepaid card, is accepted for payment of fares.[4]

Both routes run together in parallel from Yunokawa to Jujigai for 20 stations, where they split up, with three stations on each separate branch.[5] In addition to connecting to a vaster network of bus routes criss-crossing the city,[6] the tram system is also linked to the Hakodate Station.[7]

As of 31 March 2023, the bureau owns 37 trams; 32 of them are used for commercial operation, three are decorated and two more are equipped with snowplows.[9] The following types of vehicles are in use:[10]

  • Series 30, also known as Haikara-gō. It is a vintage tramcar first operated in the city in 1918 and restored for use on tourist runs in the summer in 1993.[11][12]
  • Series 500 was manufactured between 1948 and 1950 and gradually phased out in the 1980s, with only two vehicles in service.[13] Furthermore, one of those, car №530, is usually kept at a depot and used for filming, plowing snow (see below) and in cases of heavy traffic[8]
  • Series 710, once the primary vehicle of the system. It is being gradually replaced, with four trams remaining. Two upgraded vehicles known as Series 7000 were introduced in 2020 and 2024, respectively.[14]
  • Series 800, first manufactured between 1962 and 1965. All but one of those were replaced by Series 8000, which are the system's primary tram. A single low-floor model of Series 8100 also exists, converted from a Series 800 model in 2002.[15][16][17]
  • Series 2000, represented by two cars introduced in 1993 and 1994, respectively.[18]
  • Series 3000, the first in Hokkaido to feature air conditioning and regenerative brakes. Those are known as Marine Blue.[19]
  • Series 9600, featuring ultra-low-floor access. The trams are known as Rakkuru-gō, and also as Little Dancer.[20][21][22]

The following vehicles are not used for commercial purposes:

  • Trams №3 and №4, also known as Sasara trams, are used for plowing snow. Six such trams were converted from regular ones in the 1930s. In addition to that, car №530 is also used for clearing snow thanks to its heavier weight.[23]
