An old citadel's ruins, magistrate's office built using traditional construction methods, and former shipyard district-turned entertainment district, are Hakodate's must-see landmarks. First, explore Goryokaku Tower, home to the remaining walls of Japan's first western-style fort. From its Observation Deck, enjoy park and city views. Walk to Hakodate Bugyosho and see its historical exhibits. End with 1879-established Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse area, once a shipping crossroads, now popular for its bars, shops and restaurants. Enjoy a little free time here.
