From Hachimanzaka Slope, you can enjoy a stunning view of Hakodate Bay — one of the city’s most photogenic spots. The nearby church district, with its mix of Catholic and Orthodox churches, beautifully reflects Hakodate’s rich international heritage.

Goryokaku Tower

Goryokaku Tower offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Goryokaku Park, famous for its unique star-shaped fortress. From the observation deck, you can clearly see the symmetrical shape of the fort and the surrounding cityscape of Hakodate. The area is especially beautiful during cherry blossom season, when the park is filled with pink blooms. Inside the tower, you can also learn about the history of the Goryokaku and the final days of the samurai era through informative exhibits.

Hakodate Morning Market

Hakodate Morning Market is one of the city’s most lively and popular spots, located just a short walk from Hakodate Station. Visitors can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of hundreds of stalls selling fresh seafood, fruits, and local specialties. Don’t miss the chance to taste Hakodate’s famous seafood rice bowls or try catching live squid at the “squid fishing” experience — a fun and unique activity that represents the local charm of Hakodate.

10:30 AM

Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses

The Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses are one of Hakodate’s most iconic landmarks, located along the bay area. Originally built in the late 19th century as a warehouse for trade, the red brick buildings have been beautifully preserved and now house stylish shops, cafés, and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy shopping for local crafts and souvenirs, dining with a waterfront view, and taking beautiful photos of the illuminated buildings at night — a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern charm.

11:20 AM

Mt. Hakodate

Mt. Hakodate is one of Japan’s most famous scenic viewpoints, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the city and the surrounding ocean. The night view from the summit is often ranked among the top three in Japan, with the city lights forming a sparkling hourglass shape that takes your breath away. You can reach the top by ropeway, car, or bus, and enjoy restaurants and observation decks at the summit. Whether day or night, Mt. Hakodate provides an unforgettable experience of Hakodate’s natural beauty and romantic atmosphere.

“Seven Hells & Crocodiles!”

Beautiful and amazingly colored hot springs, topped off by a pool full of crocodiles. Don’t miss driving through the narrow streets where movies and dramas are filmed. Our driver was accommodating, eager to take pictures for us and knowledgeable about the area.

From the Chikurin-ji Temple to the observation deck at Godaisan Park to the red bridge at Harimayabashi Park to shopping at Harimayacho, it was a day full of contrasts.

“Visiting Ise Shrines and Highlights”

We were a bit concerned about not having a guide or English speaking driver, but those concerns turned out to be unfounded. Our driver, Uemura, was delightful and accommodating (he arranged for a larger vehicle early in our trip as my husband and I are both tall) and we communicated well with the help of AI translation apps. Uemura accompanied us to each of the shrine sites, taught us proper acknowledgment rituals and generally acted like a guide. We finished the “tour” at one of his favorite local udon restaurants where we had a lovely noodle lunch. We could not have had a better experience in Toba thanks to the patience and enthusiasm of Uemura!
