On the first floor is the "Hokkaido Shikisaikan JR Hakodate Store" offering a variety of local specialties and products, while the second floor features restaurants and an observation deck called the "Rotunda Deck" where visitors can take pictures of trains arriving and departing on the platforms.

In the “HAKOVIVA”, a commercial facility adjacent to the station that recreates the streets of the Showa period (1926-1989), there is a “Hakodate Ekimae Yokocho” that offers a retro atmosphere in which to purchase Hakodate souvenirs.

The Hakodate Morning Market, a one-minute walk from the station, has a history of more than 70 years as a favorite of Hakodate residents, offering Hakodate seafood in a lively atmosphere from early morning. Hakodate Asaichi Donburi Yokocho Market offers fresh seafood and ramen noodles, and there is also a "live squid fishing pond" where visitors can catch squid swimming in a large tank.

The “Kiraris Hakodate complex”, a three-minute walk from Hakodate Station, includes the Hakodate Mirai Kan, where visitors can experience the wonders of cutting-edge science and technology, and Hakodate Kids Plaza, an all-weather playground for infants to elementary school children, and is popular with children.
