Hi Jeff,
First, you will want to get on a local train to Mishima station. From Mishima take a Kodama or Hikari service to Tokyo station. You can transfer to the Hokkaido Shinkansen bound for Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto station at Tokyo station.
The full route is covered by the JR Pass.
I hope you find this useful,

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the prompt response and great info, greatly appreciated. :)
Is there a direct shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto station without transferring at Shin-Omori Station? If yes, what would be the name of the shinkasen line? Thanks.
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
The Hayabusa Shinkansen is direct from Tokyo to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto without any transfer. It is in fact the same train I was talking about before.
Thanks bro for the great information. :)
