Highlights
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.

About Hakodate
Hakodate is a port city at the southern tip of Hokkaido, known for its night view from Mount Hakodate, a star-shaped fort and a hillside of old churches.
Hakodate lies on a narrow neck of land between two bays at the southern end of Hokkaido, with Mount Hakodate rising at its tip. It was one of the first Japanese ports opened to foreign ships in the 1850s, and the slope of Motomachi still holds Western-style buildings and churches, among them a green-roofed Russian Orthodox church. Red-brick warehouses by the waterfront now hold shops and restaurants.
