#2月好地方2025 Why not try sea urchin uni when you come to Hakodate? It’s like coming to Hokkaido and not eating fresh food, you would be really letting yourself down! On my first day in Hakodate, I found a uni specialty store "うにむらかみ Hakodate Ekimae Store" without hesitation and had a big feast. I didn't expect the restaurant to be so busy that I had to wait for an hour for a table! We were so hungry that we ordered rice bowls as soon as we sat down. The highest grade purple sea urchin, sea urchin and beef combo, sea urchin tamagoyaki, and sea urchin chawanmushi. The whole table was filled with sea urchin. It was so satisfying! The purple sea urchin is advertised as additive-free, raw food grade, and of the highest grade. It has a delicate taste without any fishy smell. It does not have a pungent sea taste, but a dense and delicate aftertaste, and is as soft and sweet as the ocean. This is definitely the most delicious sea urchin I have ever eaten! The combination of Wagyu and sea urchin satisfies two taste buds at once, but the grade of the sea urchin is not as delicate as that of the purple sea urchin, but it is also full of sea flavor. It seems that any food served with sea urchin will instantly become more delicious! Tamagoyaki and chawanmushi are both extremely sweet and fresh. Although this meal has a high cholesterol level, the satisfaction you get from it is also off the charts. It’s worth it!

#2月好地方2025 Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse Group, the hipster shopping market in Hakodate, Hokkaido. It seems that every city has a cultural and creative tourism warehouse, such as Huashan in Taipei, Pier-2 in Kaohsiung, and even in Hokkaido, Otaru and Hakodate! There are a total of seven warehouses, with more than 50 shops of various sizes, ranging from restaurants and pubs, handicrafts, accessories and clothing, to souvenir shops. It is basically the base camp of the cultural and creative market. There is also Hakodate-exclusive cream ice cream, which you must come to report when you travel to Hakodate. Built in 1909, Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse was once an important trading base in Hokkaido and has witnessed the prosperity and changes of Hakodate. It is now transformed into a tourist warehouse and is divided into four major areas: Kanemori Home, Hakodate History Plaza, Kanemori Western Museum, and Bay Hakodate. I wanted to find a pub or seafood donburi restaurant, but it was packed, so I had to go to the Joker Burger across the street. I unexpectedly discovered that the Jinsen Red Brick Warehouse is even more charming after the lights are turned on at night than during the day. With a few golden ginkgo trees as the backdrop, it is a perfect northern landscape painting limited to autumn! #Hokkaido Travel #Hakodate #Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 When it comes to souvenirs from Hokkaido, Rokkatei will definitely come to mind. Who would have thought that in addition to a store counter, Rokkatei also has an in-house coffee shop! This time in Goryokaku, Hakodate, Hokkaido, I visited the Rokkatei branch and bought some souvenirs while having afternoon tea! The Goryokaku branch of Rokkatei is very artistic. It is located in a sea of ​​trees. The floor-to-ceiling windows outside let in the cherry trees and light, creating a lush green scene. If the pink cherry blossoms bloom in spring, I wonder how beautiful it will be! The dining area is very busy and you need to wait for a table, but while you wait you can go shopping and have a great time. You don’t feel the wait is tiring at all! Of course, the afternoon tea should be scented tea, served in beautiful porcelain cups. It looks very elegant and is worth experiencing, especially when your legs are sore after visiting Wulingguo, you must come and sit for a while. #Hokkaido Travel #Hakodate #Goryokaku Park #Rokkatei

🐵Hakodate Tropical Botanical Garden is a tropical botanical garden located in Hakodate, Japan. One of the highlights here is the “Monkey Hot Spring” that is open during the winter (around December to April). It is an outdoor hot spring pool with a small area. There are Japanese macaques, or snow monkeys, sitting in the hot water comfortably, showing their cheeks and red butts. Some of them will wave their hands to ask for food (you can ask the staff for pellets). 🌳In addition to the hot spring monkey bath area, this place also has a greenhouse, which is one of the largest tropical greenhouses in the region. The temperature is controlled appropriately throughout the year so that more than 3,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants can grow well even in winter. 📍Location: 3 Chome-1-15 Yunokawacho, Hakodate, Hokkaido 042-0932, Japan ⏱️Opening-closing hours: 9:30-16:30 🚋Tram: Yunokawa-onsen Station And walk for about 950 meters 🚍Bus from Hakodate Station: No.91 / 91C Get off at Nesaki Station and walk another 450 meters 💵Entrance fee: ¥300 / person #tripflyingtoprayfornewyear #travelabroad #beautifulphotospots #traveljapan

#0yentripnovember Hello! It's Mayan☀️I went on a trip to Hokkaido recently! Weekend trips where you can eat lots of delicious food are the source of life✨I'll introduce the spots I visited on my 2-day trip to Hakodate 📍Hakodate Morning MarketA morning market just a minute's walk from Hakodate Station. There's a lot of seafood, such as "squid fishing" where you can catch fresh squid on the spot and eat it sashimi, salmon roe, and crab! There are many seafood bowl restaurants at Donburi Yokocho Market, right next door 📍Kanamori Red Brick Warehouse BAY HAKODATEThe red brick warehouses of Hakodate. There are many stylish shops and souvenir shops, so it's fun just to stroll around~ 📍HachimanzakaA spectacular spot with a road that stretches straight down a steep slope to the sea. It's very beautiful to take a photo from the top of the hill. 📍Old Hakodate Ward Public HallThe public hall, which is characterized by its glittering yellow architecture, has exhibitions and preserved rooms from that time, and you can visit the building. 📍Hakodate MountainThis is the place to go for the night view of Hakodate! The spectacular view from the top of the ropeway was impressive, with the shape of Hakodate clearly visible and the way the light spreads.✨It was quite cold, so I recommend dressing warmly. 📍La Vista Hakodate Bay Buffet is a popular inn with an all-you-can-eat seafood bowl breakfast. In addition to making your own seafood bowl, you can also enjoy Hokkaido's unique gourmet food such as grilled scallops, meat and potatoes, salted squid, and melon soft serve. 📍GoryokakuAfter climbing Goryokaku Tower and looking down from above, you can actually take a stroll around Goryokaku Park. 📍Lucky PierrotA local gourmet restaurant in Hakodate. This is a store that is only found in Hakodate, and the Chinese burger is a standard. The interior is colorful and interesting, so be sure to stop by when you go to Hakodate. 📍Ajisai Hakodate Salt Ramen. There was a line at lunchtime! This time I ate too much, so I chose the 2/3 size. It was easy to eat and just the right amount.

Grandia Route inn in front of Hakodate Station 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Natural hot spring ♨️, massage chair 📍Address: Hakodate Station 💰Average consumption per person: $350, 1 room, 2 beds, I sleep 2 beds 1 person 👍 💞Recommendation reason: There is a free bus to Wujiao In the morning, I went to Hakodate Market for fresh sashimi Walking around the seaside, very comfortable, Hakodate has many attractions, My two-day trip is not finished yet.

#100 Ways to Travel Attractions: #Hakodate Mountain Observatory #Hakodate Mountain Night View 📍Address: 19-7 Motomachi, Hakodate City, Hokkaido 🕰️Business hours: Hakodate Mountain Observatory 10:00~22:00/Hakodate Mountain Cable Car 10:00~22:00 (until 21:00 in winter) 💞Recommendation reason: When you come to #Hakodate, the must-see attraction is the Hakodate Mountain #night view, which is listed as "the world's three major night views". It shines like a whale's tail on the Tanzu Strait. Transportation tips: Take the System 1 Hakodate Mountain Bus from JR Hakodate Station to reach the Hakodate Cable Car Station and the Summit Station. Take the tram from JR Hakodate Station to "Jizugai Station" and walk about 10 minutes to the Hakodate Cable Car Station. Those who drive themselves can drive to the Hakodate Mountain Cable Car Station or the paid parking lot at the top of the mountain, but there are not many parking spaces. Sometimes there will be restrictions when there are too many people, and other vehicles except buses and taxis cannot go up the mountain. I arrived at the #Hakodateshan Cable Car Station at around 4pm. The cable car station will display the sunset time and visibility at the top of the mountain for the day. Everyone can consider whether to go up the mountain. The views are also spectacular during the day, and there is almost no queue for the cable car. But everyone comes here for the night view, and the later you come, the more crowded the crowds are. The cable car ticket for the mountain is 1,200 yen for a one-way trip and 1,800 yen for a round trip. It is recommended to buy a round trip ticket because the crowds on the return trip are so terrifying that they seem like they are fleeing. The cable car goes down the mountain at the fastest speed, running every 3 to 5 minutes and can carry 125 people. The Hakodate Observatory is divided into two floors. The bottom floor, where the cable car just comes in, is a glass area. The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about getting cold even in winter, and there are basic seats where you can sit down and wait for nightfall. But the disadvantage is that there will be reflections when shooting night scenes. When the weather is good, the outdoor area will basically be crowded with people and tripods. Sitting on the steps and slowly waiting for the night to fall, the night view of Hakodate has also been described as like a scattered jewel box. There is no light pollution and no air pollution. The #MillionNightView of Hakodate is really intoxicating. You can visit the souvenir shop before going down the mountain and then line up for the cable car. I recommend it to everyone.

#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

Hakodate is a must-visit tourist city when traveling to Hokkaido. Located in the northern part of the country, the sakura bloom here is later than in the central regions due to the cooler weather. As a port city, Hakodate offers a unique atmosphere that blends European influences with traditional Japanese culture. Visitors should not miss the sea urchin roe rice bowl and giant crab legs, which are available in generous portions at very reasonable prices.

This is the Goryokaku Tower located in Hakodate, Hokkaido, near the tram station, about a ten-minute walk away. I visited last Christmas. The view from above is very beautiful. I recommend visiting at dusk to capture both daytime and night views. There is a lighting event at a designated time every night, where you can photograph star patterns in the night view. In winter, you can also capture snowy scenes. I highly recommend watching the lighting ceremony. No reservation is needed for this attraction; you can buy tickets on the spot, and there is no time limit for sightseeing. The tower's facilities include a cafe and a souvenir shop. This spot is suitable for families and couples to visit.

The summit of Hakodate Mountain in Japan is an exceptional place to observe the skyline. Standing at the top, it feels as if you are above the clouds, with a magnificent panorama unfolding before your eyes. Below, the bustling yet serene cityscape of Hakodate weaves a captivating tapestry, while the distant sea sparkles and meets the sky, forming an endless blue line. The seamless blend of sea and sky creates a vast and majestic view that opens up the heart and evokes a sense of transcendence. As the sunlight shifts throughout the day, the scenery transforms unpredictably. From the gentle light of dawn to the bright midday sun, and finally to the splendid hues of dusk, each moment is like a carefully crafted painting that leaves one in awe. Especially when night falls, the twinkling stars and the lights below create a dreamlike atmosphere, making it feel as if you are in a dazzling fairy tale world.

#Seaview #Art Gallery #Natural Landscape #100 Ways to Travel When you come to Hakodate, Hokkaido, in addition to visiting the Hakodate Mountain Million Night View, Goryokaku Observation Tower, and Kanemori Warehouse Group, I personally highly recommend a morning #Motomachi Walk, where you can enjoy the quiet beauty of the mountains and the sea, the church, and the slopes. Walk along the shore of Kanemori Warehouse in the direction of Mt. Hakodate Cable Car, and slowly go up Hachimanzaka Slope to reach the Motomachi Foreigners Church area. Yasaka Slope is a gentle slope with a stone slab surface and red leaves planted on both sides. Looking ahead is the Hakodate Harbor, which is a picturesque scenery. There are many churches for foreigners in the Motomachi area: the Russian Orthodox Church with a white base and blue roof that looks like a fairy tale house; the Anglican Church with a white base and red roof that looks like a cross-shaped hat; and the Roman Catholic Cathedral with traditional Gothic architecture. Heading towards Motomachi Park, you will pass by the oldest Funama Shrine in Hokkaido. The torii at the entrance is said to be made of warship materials. On one side of the park is the #OldHakodateCitizens'Association, which is full of European colonial style. The whole building is decorated in gold and blue, elegant and gorgeous. It was once the residence of Crown Prince Taisho when he came to Hakodate. In the park, there is the old Hokkaido Hakodate Government Building with lake green, as well as the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings who made outstanding contributions to Hakodate. There are many temples, shrines, museums and old public institutions along the way, such as Higashi Honganji Temple, the former British Consulate, Hakodate City Literature Museum, Northern Peoples Museum, etc., which are worth taking the time to visit. Of course, a walk also needs to be accompanied by delicious food. There are many coffee shops and tea shops in the Motomachi area, which are small, warm and distinctive. There are also many formal exotic restaurants. Of course, the seafood snacks at Hakodate Morning Market are also a very good choice. #日本探店 #哈哈日期 #Hokkaido自由旅行 #莫町走策
