I took the train from Tokyo to Sapporo before, when the shinkansen only went to Shin-aomori. It was an overnight train, had to pay a supplement and then another fare or whatever (got a sleeper, forget how how much it was? 15,000 or something?). Quite an experience.
Also stopped in Hakodate and got amazing fresh seafood (didn't know about uni-don, but for 1,500 why not? Guy breaks two large fresh uni on top of rice and hands it to me).
