Highlights of Hakodate in Hokkaido: Stunning Scenery and Gourmet Delights
Duration: 7 hours
Hakodate, a city that flourished as an international port during the Edo period, offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. It is one of Hokkaido's most distinctive destinations, where numerous historical buildings influenced by Western culture still stand today. Famous landmarks often featured in the media include Goryokaku, Mount Hakodate, the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses, and the Hakodate Orthodox Church.
During cherry blossom season, visitors can enjoy the sight of Goryokaku dyed in shades of pink. At the "Hakodate Morning Market," Hokkaido's premier marketplace, you can savor fresh seafood and produce from the region. The market offers a wide array of seafood caught in the waters near Hokkaido, as well as locally sourced agricultural products.
After the tour, we would be happy to recommend some of the best local restaurants for those interested. To cap off your visit, don’t miss the breathtaking night view from Mount Hakodate, one of the "World's Top Three Night Views" alongside Hong Kong and Naples.
