Tour Overview

Discover the charm, history, and natural beauty of Hakodate on this immersive full-day guided tour.
 

Begin your journey with a scenic tram ride through the city's historic quarter, explore the nearby station fish market, the iconic Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses, and stroll through the picturesque Motomachi District. Visit the star-shaped Goryōkaku Park and enjoy panoramic views from the Goryōkaku Tower.
 

At the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses you are stepping into one of Hakodate's most atmospheric waterfront districts. These buildings were constructed in the late 1800s, when Hakodate first opened its port to the world. They once stored goods arriving from overseas: tea, textiles, ship supplies and today, they've been beautifully restored into a lively area filled with boutiques, cafés, and local craft shops.
 

Take a moment to enjoy the contrast of old Meiji-era brickwork against the bay, and if you look across the water, you'll see the same harbor that welcomed some of Japan's earliest international traders. It's a wonderful place to stroll, shop for Hokkaido specialties, or simply enjoy the sea breeze.
 

In the evening, the warehouses light up softly, creating one of Hakodate's most romantic night views.
 

Witness the dazzling night view from the summit of Mount Hakodate, ranked among Japan's most stunning. On a clear night from atop Mt. Hakodate, you can see across The Strait of Tsugaru and onto the northern part of the Island of Honshu.
