Hakodate is port city on the southern tip of Hokkaido. The city is famous for its night view from the top of the local mountain and for the colonial influence that came when the port opened in 1854 to foreigners.

The city is unlike that of any other city in Japan. The colonial influence can be seen in the Motomachi Districts where churches and Victorian style buildings draw huge crowds. The warehouse district along the Hakodate Harbor is a relaxing place for a walk. Travlers can also learn about Hakodate’s history by visiting the Goryo-Kaku area.

It is easy to travel around the city. Trams run all around the city and stop at most of the major tourist destinations and taxi are also a convent (but a more expensive way) to travel around the city.

The city is a must see for anyone who is visiting Hokkaido. It has a very laid back feel to it and the city is breathtaking.

Today was HOT! I came up to Hokkaido to escape the heat but I think it followed me. Aside from the heat, I had an amazing day today. I did a walking tour that the National Geographic: Traveler Japan recommended it. The walk took me about five to six hours (I stopped for food along the way…a couple of times) and 5.6km (3.5 miles). I started my walk around 9:30am and ended around 4:00.   I took a taxi from the train station to Hakodate Dokku-mae and then walked southwest on the Uomi-za...

The second half of my Hokkaido trip was spent in the seaside town of 函館 Hakodate. It's a much smaller city than Sapporo and has a lot of charm to it. Being further south on the island though, there was less snow, so I was a bit sad by that. It is an interesting layout though, located on the southwest corner of Hokkaido, the city is on a peninsula, with a mountain that overlooks the city, located at the point. There is water surrounding three sides of the city, so it feels very much like a...
