Tourist Attractions in Hakodate (Hokkaido) during Winter in Japan
A snow filled tour of the tourist attractions in Hakodate (Hokkaido) during Winter in Japan. Full list here where we arrive from Honshu by JR train.
1. The Morning Market - We start at the Hakodate Asaichi which would be the nearest tourist attractions in Hakodate found next to the main train station. This market runs between 06:00AM and 12:00PM daily, and is pretty much just fish and seafood
2. The Trams - The trams in Hakodate are an attraction in themselves, and they easy to use, where they circle the city in each direction, the red line going in one direction, and the blue line travelling in the opposite.
3. Goryōkaku Park - This is more or less an ancient fortress and is now a Special Historical Site, and home to the Hakodate city museum and old Hakodate Magistrate’s Office. Otherwise it’s just a really nice park to explore.
4. Goryōkaku Tower - Found next to the park, the observation deck which shares views over the star-shaped fort, and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, and seas.

Chapter 7: Hakodate
We've finally arrived in Hokkaido! It was a beautiful sunny day in Hakodate, and we did a lot of things in just one day! A common theme you'll see when reaching the north of Japan is that the biggest cities are usually close to the sea. The reason is because most of them were involved in large export trade in the past. The harbour of Hakodate was one of the first to be opened to foreign trade after Japan's era of isolation had come to an end. This also means they have many markets!
Speaking of which, the first place we went to was the Hakodate Morning Market. Just like in Aomori, every morning the market is opened to the public with street vendors offering fresh fish, crab, squid and many fruits like melons! I bought some squid jerky fresh from the market, and it definitely tasted a lot better than what you get in convenience stores around Japan!
After taking a nice walk around the market, we went to the famous Red Brick Warehouses, which are buildings from the past trading days now turned into a dining and shopping complex. I might have bought a few souvenirs there, hehe!
As previously mentioned, Hakodate was one of the first harbour to be opened to foreign trade. This caused traders from Russia and many other Western countries to move to Hakodate. The residential area known as Motomachi came to be! Foreign-looking buildings can be found here, like churches of all things! The most beautiful was the Russian Orthodox Church. The skyline from Motomachi was quite special!
Next, we took the tram to get to Fort Goryokaku, the last western style Japanese fortress in the country. It has a special star shape, and as you'll see in the video, I walked around most of it. It was a peaceful walk that leads to the center of the fortress where the rebuilt Former Magistrate Office stands. It was the base of operation for former shogunate officers against the newly formed government at the time, and as you'd expect, just like in Aizu, they tried to fight back! Lots of history here that's for sure. We decided to get a nice view of the whole fortress from Goryokaku Tower. For just a few yen, you can get to the top of the tower and see all its glory. Extra bonus: you also get a magnificent of the city!
Finally, the last stop of the day was a visit to Mount Hakodate via ropeway, oh my! It is a popular attraction because you get to see a night view of the city from the observation platforms. I've arrived just before sunset, and it was very special because while the sky was clear blue on one side, it was orangeish on the other! The view from the top was incredible! I wish I could have stayed very late, but I had a bullet train to catch!
Thanks a lot for watching, this was a very fun video to make and every time I watch it, I wish I could still be there! The next and final destination to my trip is Sapporo, let's go!

HOKKAIDO TREASURE! Goryokaku Fort in Hakodate, Japan (vlog-5)
HAKODATE MAGISTRATE'S OFFICE
Hakodate magistrates office was established here in Hakodate by the Edo Shogunate when the port of Hakodate opened under the Japan-US treaty of Peace and Amity. The office was initially built at the foot of Mt. Hakodate . However , when it's location was regarded disadvantageous for defence. They decided to move the office further inland. In order to guard the new magistrate's office, western-style earthworks were contrived by a Dutch Scholar Takeda Ayasaburo and the Fort came to be known as Goryokaku due to its star-pentagonal configuration.

Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse, Mt. Hakodate Ropeway: JAPAN VLOG EP5
We walked around at Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse. It's mostly shopping and eating. We ate a lot of different things and the kids enjoyed it a lot. We got our lunch at Seico Mart, which is a convenience store in Hakodate. Everything looked good and was cheap compared to the US, so we went overboard and loaded up next day's breakfast as well. At night time, we went up to one of the most well known spots in Hakkodate for some night view at Mt. Hakodate.

Sakura 桜 Cherry Blossom Tour in Hakodate, Japan - Spring 2017
This place is a must-go. Beautiful place and atmosphere. Best time to come is during mid to late spring when the flowers are in full bloom. Hakodate is one of the main cities on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island. Looming over the town is 334m-high Mount Hakodate. The mountain's summit, reachable by aerial ropeway gondola, offers dramatic nighttime views. At its base is Motomachi, a neighborhood of steep streets with Western-style, early-20th-century buildings. A city landmark is the grand Old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward, built in 1910.

Visiting the Hokkaido region of Japan with Koël
See our choice of Japan deals in Sapporo Hokkaido:
The most remarkable thing about the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, and it's capital city Sapporo is the contrast in temperatures between winter and summer.
As a result of the thick snows that turns the city into a winter wonderland during the winter months, Sapporo is favoured more as a winter sports destination than a spring or summer resort. There are ski-slopes within the city limits and residents often enjoy a quick run after work. Sapporo is one of Japan's newest cities, having been constructed almost from scratch as the capital of Hokkaido in 1871.
Sapporo is a clean, well-organised and attractive city with plenty of parks and gardens, wide tree-lined streets, a number of good museums and galleries, and enough shops, restaurants and bars to keep everybody entertained. The main attraction of the city is Mount Moiwa and the mountain's ski slopes, which caters to all ski-enthusiasts with its 11 different courses right on the city's doorstep. Sapporo is a great holiday destination for families who are keen to enjoy a skiing holiday in Japan. For some insight into the fascinating Ainu culture and the region's history visit the outdoor museum in the Hokkaido Nopporo Forest Park, and the Hokkaido Ainu Centre a little way out of the city. For aprés ski relaxation and pampering take an excursion to the famous hot springs of Noboribetsu.

This was my first trip to Japan. Hokkaido, a very gentle and peaceful place I ever visited. Very safe place, even late at night you can still see ladies walking alone in the quiet streets. Really impressed by the politeness and friendliness of Japanese people.
The colonial influence buildings in Hakodate are beautiful. Extremely clean place, especially the toilet! Throughout my entire journey in Hokkaido, only one toilet I feel a bit smelly was the one with a lot of foreign visitors:)
