【about Us】
A commitment from Sapporo: We insist on using legal, licensed vehicles with green plates; safety is our bottom line. We have deep roots in Hokkaido's local tourism industry and know the optimal pace for every route, so you can entrust your trip to us with peace of mind and focus on enjoying your journey.
One of the world's three best night views, Mount Hakodate, is illuminated by city lights that twinkle like jewels as night falls, creating a unique double-C bay landscape.
Hakodate's Soul Food: Lucky Pierrot. No tourist photos allowed! Our itinerary includes a visit to a local favorite burger joint to sample the most popular and generously portioned "Chinese Chicken Leg Burger," experiencing Hakodate's unique B-grade culinary culture.
Enjoy stunning lake and mountain views and a relaxing break at the Lake Toya Observatory. The round trip is convenient, with a direct route to the observation deck offering breathtaking views. On a clear day, you can simultaneously admire the beautiful scenery of Lake Toya, Nakajima Island, and Mount Yotei, known as the "Ezo Fuji," making your journey a truly enjoyable experience.
Stroll through the port city of Hakodate: Kanemori Warehouses and Morning Market. Experience the unique exoticism of Hakodate and hunt for treasures among the red-brick warehouses of Kanemori, where the sea breeze blows. Alternatively, spend the next morning at your leisure, heading to the morning market to savor the freshest seafood donburi and experience the local lifestyle.
Kyogoku Izusui Park (one of the 100 Famous Waters) is fed by snowmelt from Mount Yotei, which has been filtered through the earth's strata for 80 years, resulting in a flow rate of up to 2 tons per minute. The park features clear, crisp water sounds and cool, refreshing air; the water is sweet and pure and can be tasted directly. Locals often bring their own buckets to collect water here, making it an excellent starting point for experiencing the authentic natural beauty of Hokkaido.
Nestled at the foot of Mount Hakodate and facing the bay, this is one of the most representative historical buildings in Hakodate's old town. Built in 1910 as a chamber of commerce rebuilt after a fire, it was twice used as a royal residence. Its bright yellow exterior paired with blue-gray side panels makes its Meiji-style Western architecture stand out in the Motomachi district, and every snapshot is postcard-perfect.
That evening, we checked into a boutique hotel in Hakodate, boasting a refined and understated style with thoughtful and practical room amenities. The following morning included a delicious breakfast made with fresh local ingredients, allowing you to experience Hakodate's morning routine at a leisurely pace.
