Hakodate, with its glittering bay views, historical architecture, and the famous night views from Mount Hakodate, is a jewel in Hokkaido’s crown. A gateway between Honshu and Hokkaido for centuries, it’s a place where cultures converged and flourished.

Dive deep into the Motomachi district, where European-style churches and consulates offer whispers of a bygone era. As for a gastronomic journey, morning seafood markets provide the freshest delights – think uni, crab, and squid, directly from the ocean’s embrace.

Then, there’s the Goryokaku fort, a star-shaped wonder, best viewed from the tower, particularly during cherry blossom season. And as evening graces the city, ascend Mount Hakodate. As the sun sets and the city lights sparkle, it’s clear why this vista is lauded as one of the world’s most enchanting nighttime panoramas
