New Shinkansen connecting from Aomori to Hokkiado finally arrived on March! We booked a trip to Hakodate with my mother in law and grandmother in law to enjoy the ride! Not so convenient as I had expected, we had to transfer 3 times from Shichinohe JR to Shin-Aomori to Shin-Hakodate Hokudo and finally switched to board local train (Hakodate Liner, 20 minutes) to Hakodate, The journey including driving back home took us 3 1/2 hours. Did not have chance or time to tour the new Shin-Hakodate Hokudo station but S said its just to transfer, nothing much to see.
We took cab to a french restaurant that my mother in law booked and she ordered expensive set for the 2 of us (has to book early) while they took the normal lunch set. So delicious! My mother in law always have good taste in deciding hotels and restaurants, will never go wrong whenever we followed her!
