9~21May2024 13D13N Hokkaido adventure
Woke early to have breakfast.
Later on, we will return to the hotel to bring our luggage to Yamato Kuroneko to forward to Sapporo,
where we were due to stay 4 days later. Yamato at the JR station opens at 9am.
We had already completed the delivery form and just need to bring our luggage, submit the form & pay.
Hakodate Morning Market Ekini Market
Most of the shops are opened very early from around 630 ~ 7 am.
We can also do seafood and dried scallop shopping in the dry market.
It took a while to look for our breakfast place as we were distracted by the sights.
Ajino Ichiban 函館朝市 味の一番
A bit filling to have rice for breakfast, nevertheless, the food is good!
We bought dried scallops from this store, so the salesgirl allowed us to take photo with
the Giant King crab 🦀.
Headed back to hotel to bring our luggage to Yamoto Kuroneko.
Taking a tram next from Hakodate Ekimae, line 2.
Alighted at the last stop, Yachigashira station,
and walked 17 mins from the station to our destination.
We gonna enjoy the flora and sights along the way.
Kireii, sakura
Cars may not enter
Passing by the Graves of Takuboku Ishikawa's family.
Cape Tachimachi 立待岬
Get ready to jump
Heading back to the tram station
Mount Hakodate, we will go there at night
Back to Yachigashira station. The tram had left and we found an interesting shop beside the station.
Take one stop to Aoyagi-cho, and walked 4 mins to the shrine
We saw a post office and wanted to send a postcard home each, but they did not sell postcards.
More sakuras along the way
We passed by Hakodate Park 函館公園, but did not enter, since the sakura has wilted.
Hakodate Gokoku Shrine 函館護国神社
Can carry and wait or not?
Your turn to carry and wait la
The Tori gate overlooking the town is nice
Walking to our lunch place next.
Ropeway to Mount Hakodate
Beautiful peonies
Lucky Pierrot Bay Area Main Shop
Must try the chicken burger and curry rice, as well as onion rings.
But we missed out to try the cheese fries..
We were in the Suehirocho 末広町 area.
Getting to the red brick warehouses next, we just need to cross the road and walk 2 mins.
We first arrived at the Hakodate Seafood market.
Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse 金森赤レンガ倉庫
Kaimono-shimasu starto!!
That's the Lucky Pierrot Suehiro branch. We did not go there because the other building looks nicer.
Petite Merville Suehirocho & Factory - did not know this is not a cafe.
So we bought the cheese cakes and tried to look for a place to sit and eat.
After our short break, we took the tram Line 5 from Jujigai to Suehirocho,
and walked 6 mins to get to next destination.
We got to Motomachi 元町 area next.
Nobody can resist these beautiful pink trees
The former Hokkaido Government office
Old Public Hall of Hakodate ward 旧函館区公会堂 next.
We have not had ice cream so far..
And all tried the melon flavour
We arrived at Hachiman-Zaka slope 八幡坂, the famous slope with view overlooking the sea
It wasn't easy to take a photo here as it is an actual road, but there weren't many cars.
There were still many people trying to take photos in the middle of the road.
We waited, and finally managed to get someone to help.
Hakodate Orthodox Church 函館ハリストス正教会 is a beautiful Russian church.
The Catholic Church Hakodate Motomachi is a beautiful church
We wanted to find a place for teabreak, but seems the cafes were closing soon or closed.
So we decided to head up to Mt. Hakodate early to have dinner
Round trip tickets cost 1,800 yen/pax.
It would take 3 mins up Mt. Hakodate by ropeway
Restaurant Genova, on the second level of the Observatory
Started to explore after dinner
We went up to the observatory before 715 pm and found it packed with people.
It made us wonder what the view would be like at 715 pm.
I found a spot to wait for 715 pm, while the gals went to explore
Isaribi park
The view at 715 pm.
Looks like it was too cloudy and there was no sunset view... but the night view was still good la..😂
Heading to the ropeway to get down
Not resting yet, eating the ichigo we bought from the morning market (@1,500 yen).
Those are juicy, not very sweet and a little sour.
