The 5 Best Observation Decks & Towers in Hakodate, Hokkaido

May 20, 2021 Florencio Paulino

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.

Mt. Hakodate Observatory

Better to go there before sunset and enjoy the view from sunset until night. It is splendid but the staff there is not really friendly and also don’t think of buying the snack at the hill observatory deck is not fresh and expensive.

2. Goryokaku Tower

This attraction is certainly unusual! A star shaped building on top of a very tall tower . On ground level there are interesting shops, coffee bar and snacks. The elevator travels very quickly to the top where the views are terrific! There are interesting models and notices to read and definitely some great photographs to take! The tower is set in amazing gardens which were truly spectacular in autumn. There is also the house of the last Samurai to be seen. Goryokaku Tower and Park are a must!
