TramCity Hakodate

TramCity Hakodate is a tram-driving simulation set on the Hakodate City Tram in Hakodate, Hokkaido. You operate a tram and carry passengers to their destinations. The simulation was developed with permission from the Hakodate City Tram Department, which supplied information about tram dimensions, appearance, behavior and speed limits.

Routes and trams

The full Hakodate City Tram line is 10.9 km long, but the game covers only part of it. As of September 2025, you can drive between Hakodate-Dock-Mae and Yachigashira, and Chiyogadai. The available trams are type 8000 and type 3000, two vehicles from the line’s modern and vintage fleet.

Sounds and announcements

Sounds were recorded from real trams, both while walking along the line and while driving alongside a tram. With staff supervision, recordings were also made near the bogies, where sounds cannot be captured during regular operation. In-tram announcements use the voices of Jō Hibiki, Lemi Duncan and Naomi Ueda; driver recordings feature Jō Hibiki, Takahiro Nozuki, Masumi Toyooka, Sayumi Yamamoto and Mr.M.

The line and its signals

Buildings and stops along the route are individually created. Traffic-signal cycles are based on local measurements, and the cycle’s start time changes each time you begin a game, altering driving patterns.
