Certain apartments on the Akebono night train between Tokyo and Aomori can be used with the Japan Rail Pass.

About night trains:

For example:
21:45 leave Ueno Station (Tokyo) by Akebono
09:56 arrive in Aomori
10:00 depart Aomori by Super Hakucho
12:02 arrive in Hakodate

That is an hour earlier than if you were to take the first daytime train from Tokyo.

No practical option in the opposite direction, unless you are willing to leave Hakodate at 2am in the night by Hamanasu express.

Flying might be the cheapest and fastest! More details:
