Mount Hakodate Night View - is a breathtaking experience that involves taking a ropeway to admire one of the world's top three night views, alongside those in Hong Kong and Naples. The unique geography of Hakodate contributes to its distinctive night view. Hakodate is situated on a peninsula that juts out into the sea, with Mount Hakodate perched on it. The mountain is connected to the Hakodate city area by a narrow and elongated neck of land. This geographic feature results in a special fan-shaped night view of Hakodate. The natural beauty of the landscape, with its double-curved shape, combines with the faintly visible fishing boats at sea and the myriad of city lights, creating a dazzling spectacle reminiscent of sparkling diamonds. It's a dazzling sight that leaves a lasting impression on all who behold it.
Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe - is a beautiful white castle and a romantic-themed amusement park centered around the theme of the ocean as the source of life. Inside the park, there are expansive panoramic large-scale aquarium tanks, some as tall as 8 meters, and the first underwater tunnel in Hokkaido, known as the AQUA Tunnel, which allows you to experience the sensation of walking underwater. In the outdoor circular aquarium tanks, you can observe seals gliding through the water as if they were soaring through the sky, enjoying their carefree swimming. The park also offers daily dolphin and sea lion shows, as well as penguin parades, which are must-see attractions. You can get up close and watch the adorable sight of penguins waddling in unison right before your eyes!
Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse - is a historic building located along Hakodate Harbor. It dates back to the Meiji era and was originally used as a warehouse for early Japanese cruise ships. Over the ebb and flow of time, these warehouses have been renovated into shops and restaurants selling a variety of goods. Among them, you'll find the original British Consulate, which now houses a European-style tea room, and the Eastern Orthodox Church of Hakodate. The Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse complex retains a unique ambience where Japanese and Western cultures blend harmoniously.
Hakodate Morning Market - is a traditional market in Hakodate that brings together over 400 seafood stalls. Inside the market, you can find a variety of seafood products like freshly caught squid, crabs, and Atka mackerel just unloaded off the boats. You can enjoy tasting fresh seafood like scallops and sea urchin at your own expense, or even try freshly caught squid, which the vendors will prepare as sashimi for you!
Goryokaku Park - is a unique star-shaped fortification that can be viewed from above. It was Japan's first Western-style castle, and its distinctive shape was designed to provide a strong defense without blind spots. It was constructed during the Edo period by the Tokugawa shogunate to defend the northern frontier. During the Battle of Hakodate in the late Edo period, it played a significant role as a battleground. In spring, the park is renowned for its cherry blossoms, with around 1,600 cherry trees in full bloom, making it a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Hakodate.
Onuma Quasi National Park - designated as a national park in 1958, encompasses picturesque Onuma, Konuma, and the beautiful Mount Komagatake. The park is connected by 18 bridges, offering stunning views. In spring, it's adorned with fresh greenery, while autumn paints it in brilliant shades of red and gold. The scenery along the lake shores varies greatly, providing a feast for the eyes. The park is also home to diverse wildlife, making it an excellent place to observe various species of wild birds that inhabit the Onuma Quasi National Park.
Silo Observatory (Plans A and B only) - located on the western shore of Lake Toya in Hokkaido, offers not only close-up views of the magnificent Lake Toya but also panoramic vistas of various mountain ranges, including Mount Yotei (also known as Ezo Fuji), Mount Shiribetsu, Niseko mountain range, Konbu Dake, and Showa Shinzan. Each season presents a different set of natural scenery for you to enjoy.
Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival (Plans C and D only) - is a prominent winter festival in Hokkaido, Japan. Lake Shikotsu is the northernmost non-freezing lake in Japan, and this festival is known for its spectacular ice sculptures created by jetting and freezing the lake water. These ice sculptures vary in size and are a sight to behold during the day, shimmering with the natural blue color known as "Lake Shikotsu Blue". In the evening, they are illuminated by colorful lights, creating a dreamlike and enchanting ice and snow world.
The Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen Imagine Hotel & Resort - located in the famous Yunokawa Onsen town. It is a hot spring resort hotel situated by the seaside, boasting the richest source of hot spring water in the Yunokawa Onsen area. On the top floor, there is an open-air observation bath where you can soak in the hot spring while enjoying the panoramic views of the endless coastline, creating the sensation of being immersed in the warm sea.
