Things to do in Hakodate

Definitely choose this over the rope way. Half the price and much better view and ambience. Went around 2pm and the crowds were small. There's two levels of 360 degree viewing area and some historical things to learn.

We arrived at Goryokaku Tower in the afternoon after driving from Lake Toya. The crowds were quite heavy, so we decided to have lunch first at the legendary local favourite, Lucky Pierrot Burger, just across the street.Redeeming our pre-purchased ticket voucher at the counter was straightforward, and despite the large number of visitors, we managed to board the elevator and make our way up to the observation deck without any hassle.At the top, we were rewarded with a stunning 360-degree panoramic view of Hakodate. We enjoyed admiring the beautiful cityscape from above and spent some time taking photographs. To our delight, we were also treated to the sight of a rainbow, which made the visit even more memorable.We spent approximately two hours enjoying the views and taking photographs before heading down. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing experience, and a great way to appreciate Hakodate from above before proceeding to explore the nearby Goryokaku Star Fort.

spectacular view from the mountain top, watching sunset and then slowly getting into the night, feeling so calm and good

easy to redeem, very convenient, parking opposite to the entrance, the night view is very nice.

Kanamori Red Brick Warehouse is the best shopping place in Hakodate, and it has a very literary and youthful atmosphere. Beautiful views of the canal and its old red brick architectural features. The lighting at night makes for a great photo spot. There are as many as 100 shops, restaurants, etc. inside, which is very easy to browse.

Take the tram slowly to Yunokawa Onsen Station and check into the Kaiyo-tei Hotel in Heiseikan. Tomorrow we'll be leaving Hakodate; it's just a 10-minute bus ride from the hotel entrance to the airport. Yunokawa Onsen boasts a 400-year history, and legend has it that it's been a place where villagers and travelers have traditionally sought healing and relaxation. During the late Edo period, former Shogunate soldiers like Enomoto Takeaki and Shikata Toshizo came to the hot springs to bathe and heal their wounds during the Battle of Hakodate. Kaiyo-tei is a very large restaurant with both red and clear hot springs, both saline springs. It's very comfortable, and the salt content has a slight antibacterial effect. Dinner will be at Shiosō-tei across the street, a buffet; both the window views and the food are beautiful.

The Hakodate Tropical Botanical Garden is located in Yunokawa, a famous hot spring resort. Tropical plants are quite rare in Hokkaido, after all, it is in the north. But if you are a tourist, going to the north to see tropical plants is a matter of whether you have time or not. After all, you can go to Xishuangbanna, Thailand, and Singapore. For non-local tourists, the biggest feature of this botanical garden is that it raises Japanese macaques that take a hot spring bath. Those who have not seen it can come and see it. Of course, this monkey project is also artificial. If you want to see it naturally, you have to go to Noboribetsu Jigokudani.
