Hello and welcome to HAKODATE Travel Tips!
Before we dive into the beautiful city, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
My Connection to Hakodate
I was born and raised right here in this gorgeous city, Hakodate.
For a while, I lived in Sapporo and Tokyo for school and work. However, I eventually missed my hometown and moved back a few years ago. Now, I’m here enjoying life as a local resident.
Because I’ve seen this city both as a local and as someone who has experienced life outside of it, I believe I can offer insights that you won’t find in typical guidebooks.
The Goal of This Blog
I created “HAKODATE Travel Tips” to give every foreign traveler the best possible advice for their trip to Hakodate.
You’ve come all this way for the famous night view from Mount Hakodate and the historic Bay Area scenery. I want to make sure you get deeper, more practical information to make your journey perfect.
• Sightseeing : We’ll explore everything from the classic must-see views to hidden gems only locals know about, all with great photos.
• Practical Tips : The focus here is on useful T.I.P.S.—everything from navigating the public transport system and finding the best local ramen or izakaya (Japanese pub), to solving common travel problems.
