Hakodate/Hokkaido Private Tour with Local Guide

Begin your journey at the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses, the iconic symbol of Hakodate’s waterfront. These historic warehouses, dating back to the late 19th century, have been beautifully preserved and converted into a vibrant shopping and dining complex. Stroll through the nostalgic red-brick buildings and explore unique local boutiques and cafes.

Next, head to Mount Hakodate via the scenic ropeway. While famous for its glittering night view, the daytime panoramic vista is equally spectacular. From the summit, you can see the unique slender waist geography of the city nestled between two seas, offering the best photo opportunity in all of Hokkaido.

Continue to the Ekini Fish Market, located within the bustling Hakodate Morning Market area. This lively indoor market is the perfect place to experience local life and taste fresh seafood. You can even try your hand at squid fishing in the central tank and have your catch served as fresh sashimi immediately.

Explore the Motomachi District, a hillside neighborhood famous for its foreign influence and historic Western-style architecture. Walk through the charming streets to see the Russian Orthodox Church and the Old Public Hall. Don't miss the chance to take a photo at the top of Hachiman-zaka Slope, which offers a straight, breathtaking view down to the harbor.
