Hi there,
The best train to take is the Hayabusa Shinkansen from Tokyo to Aomori, this train departs 1-2 times per hour depending on the time. From Aomori take a limited express train to Hakodate and from there an other super express to Sapporo. The entire trip takes about 10 hours, so it may be a good idea to plan in a stop somewhere for the night and travel on the following morning. Both Aomori and Hakodate are popular stopovers.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
