- Flight, JAL / ANA / AirDo / Skymark / Peach, Haneda–New Chitose: Winter storms close New Chitose for hours a few times each season; leave a spare half-day before an international flight home.
- Train, Tohoku and Hokkaido Shinkansen + Hokuto limited express via Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto: Through the 54 km Seikan Tunnel under the strait. Scenic, but dearer and much slower than flying.
Booking links open the route on the country's transport booking site for trains, buses, boats and transfers, and a flight search for flights, dated about two weeks out; change the date there.
