Hakodate Old Town, a small town surrounded by the sea at the foot of Mt. Hakodate, flourished as a city even before cars became a common means of transportation. In a location where you can feel close to nature, it is characterized by the presence of many tasteful small buildings. One of the attractions of the area is that there are many unique shops that have renovated such buildings in their own way. Enjoy meeting people and enjoying the natural scenery of this city, which is said to be the best place to live, even though you have traveled all over the world.

A DAY IN THE TOWN
how to spend a day
Take the train to the sunset
As dusk approaches, we recommend taking the tram towards the direction where the sun is setting. When you get off at the last stop, Dotsukumae, walk to the end.
Stroll through the "old and new" Hakodate Old Town
Once you've filled your stomach, head to a place the locals go to. This area is lined with shops that make good use of old and quaint buildings. Seiko Uyoku, which was renovated from a former public bathhouse, sells used clothes, books, miscellaneous goods, and more.
Take a leisurely stroll through Hakodate Park
If you want to start walking around the city in the morning, we recommend taking a walk in Hakodate Park first. It is also recommended for adults to take a walk at facilities such as amusement parks and zoos that children can enjoy together, as well as museums and historical buildings.
A little coffee break
If you continue to walk further, you will see a cute yellow building standing in an area where houses are increasing. We recommend taking a break with delicious coffee at FABLIKET.
Have breakfast at a popular bakery in town
Firefly bread is a popular bakery in town. It may be sold out in the morning, so hurry up. Baked sweets such as scones and muffins are also recommended. If the weather is nice, you can eat in the park or near the sea.
Lunch at Lucky Pierrot
A marina store that is just right for walking in the direction of the bay area. There are three Lucky Pierrot stores with different concepts in the old town area, but the marina store has seats where you can eat while looking out at Hakodate Bay.
rent a rental cycle
A bakery in a town within walking distance from Hakodate Park. It may be sold out in the morning, so hurry up. We also recommend baked sweets with a gentle taste. Even if you buy breakfast and souvenirs for tomorrow.

Speaking of Hokkaido, good rice fields! This is a restaurant where you can eat delicious Genghis Khan. They serve meat that doesn't have an addictive flavor, so even if you don't like Genghis Khan, this is a restaurant you should definitely try.
Finally, a panoramic view of the night view of Hakodate
The night view from Mt. Hakodate, which is said to be one of the destinations of Hakodate trip and is said to be "the world's top three night views", is worth seeing! If it's sunny, please come and visit us.
