FULL INITERARY
You will meet and travel with a professional English-speaking guide on a chartered car to visit Goryokaku Park & Tower. From its observatory desk, we can see the entire view of the park including a little island in star-shaped. Cherry blossoms are also planted alongside the walking path. A relaxing stroll in this lovely, peaceful park is a must do in nice weather.
We leave the Goryokaku park & tower and head for a visit to Hakodate-Asaichi market. We also call Hakodate morning market because it’s held only from 5 am to noon. Variety type of seafood, fresh products from vegetable to fruits are widely on sale for you to choose. If you feel hungry and want to stop by, the best thing is to try local dishes in some restaurants also opened inside the market area.
Take us only 20-minute walk from the morning market to Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse - the first ever commercial warehouse in Hakodate. Old brick warehouses have been well preserved. Inside they sell a lot of cute things that you can buy as some lovely souvenirs. A nice place to spend in just a short time. We reach Mount Hakodate by a cable car. There’s a huge observation platform where you can capture the entire splendid view of the city in cool air, especially at night. Thanks for exploring with Shore Excursions Asia!

Booked this tour independently while cruising with Celebrity Millennium, and we’re so glad we did. It offered a more personal and flexible experience than the ship’s excursions. Felix helped us customize everything and even gave food tips for the market stop.

We were looking for well-organized Hakodate shore excursions, and this one exceeded expectations. From the panoramic view at Mount Hakodate to the bustling market, everything felt well-timed and engaging. Special thanks to Felix, who made sure we had all the info in advance.

We booked this tour during our stop with the Celebrity Millennium and it was the highlight of our time in Hokkaido. The view from Goryokaku Tower was spectacular, and the cherry blossoms made it unforgettable. Thanks to Lara, our travel expert, everything was arranged smoothly and on time.

This was one of the best Hakodate shore excursions we have experienced. We had time to explore the local market, visit the red brick warehouse, and enjoy the view from Mount Hakodate. The schedule was smooth and well-paced, and the small group made everything more enjoyable. A great choice for travelers from the HAL Westerdam looking for something personal and well organized.

Our stop with the HAL Westerdam in Hakodate was short, but this tour made the most of every minute. Goryokaku Park was stunning in autumn colors, and the group stayed right on schedule. Many thanks to Lara, who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning.
