Aomori City light walking Tour

We can enjoy taking city buses or city tram from spot to spot. First, we walk to Hakodate morning market, so you can grab some food and fruits if you will. Then take a tram to Red brick warehouses to visit shopping area near the sea front. Next, we take bus to the base station of Mt. Hakodate Ropeway. The ropeway brings us to the 334m high summit of Mt. Hakodate to enjoy one of three significant views in Japan. (Due to the strong wind, Mt. Hakodate Ropeway service can be stopped. In that case, I will recommend an alternative spot) Lastly, we take buses to Goryokaku fort.

From a 90m high tower, you can witness the whole view of the Goryokaku fortress where the last civil war was fought between shognate force and new government force. Lunch can be enjoyed at the summit building of Mt. Hakodate or near the Goryokaku.
