The night view of Hakodate in Hokkaido is the most anticipated spot for our trip. Although summer is gradually entering, the temperature and strong wind on the mountain are enough to make people shiver. The breath-taking beauty is worth waiting so hard.
How to get there: How to get to Mount Hakodate?
After exiting the JR Hakodate Station, walk 300 meters and cross the road to take the Hakodate City Tram "Hakodate Station". You can take the "Ban No. 2" or "Ban No. 5" route. At the "Jujigai" station After getting off the bus, walk 600 meters to reach the Hakodate Ropeway "Shanlu Station", but this 600-meter road is an uphill section, which is not very steep, but you have to be mentally prepared first.
For a one-day trip to Hakodate, my way of walking that day was to visit the European-style buildings near Motomachi Park, walk down to the harbor area to enjoy the beautiful view of the harbor, and then walk all the way towards the Orthodox Church to the cable car boarding place for the night view of Mount Hakodate. Taking a walk in the harbor area for about 15 minutes, it is just right to digest the food for dinner. ^^
