[Cape Tatetsu – A great spot to see the Tsugaru Strait]
Cape Tateto, located on the south side of Mt. Hakodate and jutting into the Tsugaru Strait, was once an important base for monitoring foreign ships. This cliff, about 30 meters above sea level, not only offers a panoramic view of the beautiful coastline of Omorihama, but also, on a clear day, a view of the Tsugaru Peninsula and Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture.
In addition, in summer and autumn every year, the lights of squid fishing boats dot the night sea, creating a dreamy scene. Cape Tateto combines history, nature and beauty, making it a great spot not to be missed when visiting Hakodate.

【Matsumae Castle】
Matsumae is located at the northernmost tip of Japan and retains a strong castle town atmosphere from the Edo period, especially in the Matsumae Castle and Teramachi area. It is one of Japan's famous cherry blossom viewing spots, where the cherry blossoms complement the beauty of the ancient city. Matsumae Park has planted about 250 varieties and 10,000 cherry trees, covering different varieties that bloom early, mid, and late. Visitors can enjoy a variety of cherry blossoms in full bloom for a month.
Matsumae Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot at the southernmost tip of Hokkaido. In addition to the beauty of the cherry blossoms themselves, the park also houses Matsumae Castle, the residence of the Matsumae clan during the Edo period. This castle is the only existing ancient castle in Hokkaido. Every year from late April to mid-May, Matsumae Park holds a grand "Matsumae Cherry Blossom Festival". At this time, the castle tower and cherry blossoms complement each other, making it a beautiful attraction that photography enthusiasts must visit. At night, the scenery of the night cherry blossoms is even more charming. In addition, during the event, there will be wonderful folk activities such as song shows and samurai parades.
【Matsumae Domain Residence】
Matsumae Domain Residence is a theme park that recreates the magnificent domain residence of the Matsumae Domain. There are 14 Japanese-style buildings in the park, including samurai residences, shops, port magistrates' offices, hatago, and seafood wholesalers, presenting a complete historical district atmosphere. Through the restoration of details such as puppets, the park allows visitors to travel back to the Edo period and experience the life scenes of that time in person.

【Seagull Island】
Seagull Island is a beautiful island with a circumference of 2.6 kilometers. It was used as a natural port during the period of the prosperity of Kitamae-bune trade in Esashi Town. From the air, the shape of the island is like a seagull spreading its wings, so it is named "Seagull Island". There is a walking trail between the coast on the inland side and the center of the island. Visitors can walk in places such as the Bottle Rock, the Sunset Viewing Lighthouse, and the incredible flat land like tatami mats formed by the erosion of the waves - Senjojiki. Here you can see the beautiful sunset selected as one of the 100 best sunsets in Japan.

【Goryokaku Park】
Goryokaku Park is the site where the Boshin War ended, where the former shogunate army led by Enomoto Takeaki and Hijikata Toshizo fought against the new Meiji government army. It is a designated national special historic site. This Western-style fortress has five protruding ridges forming a beautiful star shape, and covers an area of 25.2 hectares, and has now been developed into a park.
In spring, about 1,500 cherry trees bloom, making it one of the famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Hokkaido. You can take a rowboat on the moat to enjoy the cherry blossoms along the shore. At night, the park will have a light show, presenting a dreamlike scene. In addition to cherry blossoms, there are azaleas, wisteria trellises and water lilies. In autumn, there are red leaves, and in winter, there is a snowy scene. You can enjoy different natural beauty in each season.
The Goryokaku Tower Observatory next to the park offers a panoramic view of the star-shaped Goryokaku, the streets of Hakodate, and the Tsugaru Strait. It is recommended to climb the tower first to overlook the panoramic view, and then start to visit the park and the surrounding areas, so that you can experience the charm of Goryokaku in a more organized way. Spend a special time in Goryokaku Park, which combines history and nature.
