Does the Shinkansen run all the way to Hakodate station?

No, the Shinkansen does not serve Hakodate station itself. It terminates at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, from where a local train, the Hakodate Liner, covers the last stretch to Hakodate station in 15 to 20 minutes.

How long does the train journey from Hakodate to Shin-Aomori take?

Allow 1 hour 35 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes. The Shinkansen stops at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, not Hakodate: first take the Hakodate Liner (20 minutes), then the Hayabusa or Hayate Shinkansen to Shin-Aomori (1 hour).

Is the Hakodate - Shin-Aomori route included in the Japan Rail Pass?

Yes, for the entire journey. The Shinkansen stops at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto: from Hakodate Station, first take the Hakodate Liner (20 minutes), which is also covered by the pass, then the Hokkaido Shinkansen to Shin-Aomori.

Where do I need to change trains to go from Hakodate to Shin-Aomori?

To go from Hakodate to Shin-Aomori, you must change trains at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto. First, take the Hakodate Liner from Hakodate Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, then take the direct Hokkaido Shinkansen to Shin-Aomori.
