The "Million Dollar Pentagram" symbolizes the unique charm of Hakodate, Hokkaido. This city is rich in history and culture, while also exuding a romantic modern atmosphere, earning it the title of "Gateway to Hokkaido." The origin of the pentagram: The pentagram refers to the iconic building of Hakodate, Goryokaku, a Western-style castle designed in the shape of a star. At night, Goryokaku is adorned with lights, resembling a dazzling star that attracts tourists from all over the world. The million-dollar night view: The night view from the top of Mount Hakodate is known as the "million-dollar view."

Hakodate is also one of the earliest ports in Japan to open to the outside world, boasting a rich exotic atmosphere. In the Motomachi area, you can experience the fusion of Western architecture and Japanese culture. The city is also famous for its fresh seafood, especially the seafood rice bowls, salt ramen, and freshly caught squid at the Hakodate Morning Market. In spring, Goryokaku Park is adorned with cherry blossoms; in summer, the Hakodate Port Festival is celebrated with lively fireworks; in autumn, the city is decorated with red leaves; and in winter, the city is covered in romantic white snow and ice lanterns. Hakodate, a place where natural beauty and cultural history are perfectly combined, the "Million Dollar Pentagram" is the eternal symbol of this city.

#100 Ways to Travel Attractions: #Goryokaku Park #Goryokaku Tower Hokkaido #Hakodate There is no Hakodate Castle, but there is Japan's first Western-style high fortress. After seven years of construction, Japan's first Western-style high castle fortress was built in 1864, and two years later, it was completed along with all its accompanying facilities. Although it was built as the political center of the Ezo region, it was occupied by the old shogunate army and continued to engage in a very fierce war with the new government army until 1867. This is also where Japan's last samurai fought and died. Most of the buildings were dismantled and became the current Goryokaku Park. Transportation guide: Take the Hakodate City Railway from JR Hakodate Station (in front of Hakodate Station) towards Yunokawa, get off at Goryokaku Park-mae, and walk for about 15 minutes. There are many buses from Hakodate Bus Terminal Platform 5 in front of JR Hakodate Station to the Goryokaku Park Entrance bus stop, which is about a 7-minute walk away. Goryokaku Park itself does not require a ticket, but you may not be able to feel the feeling of a star-shaped fortress, so you can climb up the "Goryoku Tower" to have a clear view of the entire park. Goryokaku Tower is 107 meters high and the ticket price is ¥1,000 (the ticket price will increase to ¥1,200 starting April 1, 2025). The entrance hall on the first floor has a ticket counter, a souvenir shop, and a statue of the person who designed Goryokaku. While waiting for the elevator to the observation deck, there is a terrain model on the glass floor under your feet that shows what Hakodate (the old name of Hakodate) looked like at that time. There are restaurants and art galleries on the second floor. The first floor has an observation deck, a transparent floor, a cafe and a souvenir shop. On the second floor, there is an observation deck, a bronze statue of Hijikata Toshizo, and the Goryokaku Historical Corridor. When the weather is good, you can see the #Hakodate Mountain and #Karazu Strait in the distance. On the way back, don't forget to take a break in the atrium on the first floor. The atrium is an open space with a high glass structure. The green space feels very relaxing. There are also performances to enjoy on holidays. After visiting Wulingguo Pagoda, decide whether to go to the park. There are 1,500 cherry trees planted in Wulingguo Park. Every April and May during the cherry blossom season, Wulingguo Park turns from green to pink. It is very spectacular to climb up Wulingguo Pagoda and look down. 📍Address: 44 Goryokaku-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido 🕰️Business hours: 09:00~18:00

The symbol of Hakodate, Hokkaido is Goryokaku. It is the site of the Hakodate War, in which the former Shogunate army and the new government army fought during the Meiji Restoration. Now, it is one of Hokkaido's best cherry blossom spots, with about 1,500 cherry trees in bloom. Furthermore, like Matsumae Fukuyama Castle, it is known as the earliest cherry blossom spot in Hokkaido. The expected cherry blossom season in Hakodate in 2025 is April 24th, and full bloom is April 28th. *This may vary depending on the weather. Viewing the cherry blossoms at Goryokaku If you want to see the cherry blossoms, the best place is the observation deck at Goryokaku Tower. You can see the entire castle with a pentagram, which is a spectacular sight. There is also a statue of Toshizo Hijikata, who played an active role in the Battle of Hakodate. In terms of photogenic quality, I personally think it is better to go early in the morning. The shadow of the tower falls on Goryokaku... Also, the cherry blossoms of Goryokaku Park seen from the lobby on the first floor look like a picture frame of cherry blossoms, so it is a hidden gem that is highly recommended.

Looking at Hakodate from the higher Goryokaku in the snow, the taste has changed again. I always thought it should be soft and beautiful, but I didn’t expect it to be sharp and majestic from a high place. Thinking of some of the wars in the past, it also makes my blood boil. Goryokaku Park is now a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Japan, with about 1,600 cherry trees planted (the best viewing period is from late April to early May). Goryokaku Tower is a 107-meter-high observation tower (rebuilt in 2006) that offers a panoramic view of the star-shaped castle. There is also a historical exhibition hall inside the tower. The Hakodate Magistrate's Office is an administrative building from the late Edo period that was restored in 2010. The interior displays the history and architectural techniques of the late Edo period. #Hokkaido #Hokkaido Travel #Hakodate #Goryokaku

After reaching New Chitose Airport, we took JR to Hakodate which takes about 4 hours to reach. The hotel we stayed at was Flexstay Inn Hakodate Station. The hotel is located just opposite Hakodate JR and bus station. The first day we just had our dinner near the hotel as it was quite late when we reached. Day 2 We chose to have our breakfast in the hotel which only cost 1200 yen with quite a lot of variety. Then we walked to the Hakodate bus station opposite the hotel there are plenty of buses going to Goryokaku Garden. There are many people doing exercise at Goryokaku Garden. It is a beautiful star-shaped park and historical site. We chose to go up to Goryokaku tower, which needs us to buy a ticket that costs 1000 Yen or can buy from trip.com which costs about $8.8 sgd. Goryokaku tower is an observation tower which allows us to view and capture the panoramic views of the star-shaped Goryokaku Fort. It also shows Goryokaku’s history and the Boshin War using the miniature figurines. Then we took the bus to Hakodate Tropical Botanical Garden which allowed us to see monkeys showering in the hot spring. The entrance fee is 300 Yen/pax. There is a Greenhouse garden but similar to Singapore so we pass on it. Then we found a small ramen shop nearby which is operated by an elderly woman herself, the fried rice is very nice. Next we took a tram from Yunokawa onsen to Juijigai station which cost about 260 yen. From Jiujigai we walked to Machikado crepe, which is located on the 2nd floor, this crepe is the best crepe that I have ever tried, very crispy and delicious. Then we continue to walk to the Kanemori red brick warehouse. There is a Lucky Pierrot, we went to have a burger there, the bun was full of sesame fragrant, worth trying. The Mount Hakodate ropeway was too crowded so we never went up to Mount Hakodate. Day 3 Early in the morning we walked from Hotel to Hakodate Morning Market Square to have our seafood breakfast. Then we took JR to our next station - Otaru. #newyearnewtrip #hokkaido #hakodate #goryokaku #redbrickwarehouses #luckypierrot #hachimanzakaslope #Hakodatemorningmarket
