Even if you can't be in Hakodate to see the cherry blossoms in May, you'll fall in love with the sunset views from Mount Hakodate. Surrounded by the ocean, it's no wonder Hakodate is known for fresh seafood. If you're up early, have domburi for breakfast at a restaurant in the Morning Market by Hakodate Station.

Many foreign traders settled in this neighborhood in the mid 1800s, which still contains a number of foreign buildings, including the Russian Orthodox Church and the Chinese Memorial Hall.

Love the scenery there and also the building. Is a must to go if you are at Hakodate! After visiting the morning market, you may continue with the Red Brick Warehouse, where you can see the old warehouse although it has been refurbished. You also can buy lots of souvenirs here and taste delicious desserts here. About 10 minutes walk, you will find the slopes streets at Motomachi. You can take the city tram to the last stop and walk to Motomachi, you can see each slopes with different views.

We love the Hakodate Asaichi Morning Market that has approximately 250 stores selling souvenirs, vegetables, fruits and seafood. The most exciting part of the Hakodate Morning Market is the Squid Fishing experience. The chef will take your catch and prepare squid sashimi. We also love Snaffle's Hokkaido Hakodate Maple Omelet Catchcake. Ultra Soft Melt In Your Mouth Cheesecake! Dex Ng Mong Meiyan Dexperience

Trappist Convent is located in Hakodate, not far from the airport. The Trappistine convent was built to house nuns only. It was established by eight nuns from France and has wonderful European architecture. Now it said to be about 70 nuns supporting themselves in divine devotion by managing dry field and dairy farms. I could not see any nuns themselves but workers in souvenir shop said that the reason is that they practice self-sufficiency. They keep the silence except for prayers and do not communicate with other visitor of the convent. In convent store you can buy cookies, candies, and dolls made by nuns. The Trappist cookies are one of Hokkaido's most famous gift items, loved by people for their distinctive European taste. I really enjoyed French Cake Madarena. There is really nice garden and serene surroundings. This peaceful place can set you calm and refresh your soul. The place is definitely worth a visit when in Hakodate.

The pictures won’t do it justice. The tranquil coast is a leaisurely walk from the tram station. There are well-marked signages along the way, making it easy to get to. The views are spectacular, with benches for you to sit on as you take it all in.

I would highly, HIGHLY recommend visiting the warehouses after the morning market and walking there along the waterfront. The view is nice, and the streets are spacious. Arriving there near noon time, we didn't really encounter too many people and found a nice corner for cake and coffee. Really nice place to take a breather and recharge for a bit.
