I took the Shinkansen from Aomori to Hakodate on the way there. On the way back, I saw a blogger recommend taking a ferry. I was initially hesitant because the Shinkansen only takes one hour, while the boat ride would take about four. I'm also prone to seasickness, and I was worried I'd feel unwell on the sea. The boat ride turned out to be fantastic! The weather and sea conditions were perfect that day, and even though I took seasickness medicine beforehand, the boat was surprisingly stable and didn't rock at all. The scenery along the way was truly stunning, and I took tons of beautiful photos on the boat. However, I recommend bringing food and water for the boat ride; there's no water dispenser on board, and the food selection is limited. Overall, I was very satisfied!
