Hakodate


On the seventh day we arrived at Hakodate, Hokkaido's third largest city, located at the island's southern tip. We went up the Goryokaku Tower, 107 metres tall, to see the star-shaped Goryokaku Fort, or Pentagon Fort.


Dear cheated death by standing on the clear glasses on the floor at the observation deck at the Goryakaku Tower.

In the evening we went up Mount Hakodate, 334 metres high, to see the night-time spectacular view of the city. This is claimed to be the Million Dollar View and one of the most beautiful night-time city views in the world.
