Activity itinerary

Hakodate Morning Market

Explore Hakodate's famous morning market, known for fresh Hokkaido seafood, produce and local food stalls. Guests may browse independently, shop or purchase breakfast or lunch at their own expense.

Goryokaku Tower

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Travel from the Hakodate Station area to Goryokaku, the northernmost major stop on the route. Walk through the grounds of the star-shaped former fort and visit the Goryokaku Tower area. Guests may purchase a tower ticket to view the full star-shaped layout from above. Depending on the season, the park may feature cherry blossoms, summer greenery, autumn colours, or winter scenery.

Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse

  • 1h
Return towards Hakodate’s western waterfront and visit the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse district. Enjoy free time for shopping, cafés, harbour photographs, and a walk through the restored warehouse complex. The buildings now contain shops, restaurants, and cultural spaces while retaining the atmosphere of Hakodate’s historic port.

Motomachi

  • 1h
Continue uphill from the waterfront into Motomachi, a picturesque historic district where Hakodate’s Japanese and Western influences meet. Stroll along the famous Hachimanzaka Slope and enjoy its postcard-like view stretching downhill towards the harbour. Follow the gently sloping streets past some of Hakodate’s most distinctive landmarks, including the green-domed Hakodate Orthodox Church, the Catholic Motomachi Church, and Hakodate Episcopal Church. Continue towards the elegant Former Public Hall of Hakodate Ward, known for its striking blue-and-yellow exterior, while discovering former consulates, Western-style residences, and other historic buildings that reflect Hakodate’s past as one of Japan’s earliest international ports.

Mount Hakodate

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Finish the sightseeing portion of the tour at Mt. Hakodate. Depending on traffic restrictions, seasonal road closures, congestion, weather, and operating conditions, guests may reach the summit by ropeway, bus, taxi, or another permitted method.
