Chasing Sakura at Hakodate

#cherryblossom25 Hakodate is a scenic city located on Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, known for its beautiful landscapes, historical charm, and vibrant seafood culture. The city is famous for its night view from Mount Hakodate, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the city lights and the surrounding bay. Hakodate’s historic buildings reflect its past as a port city, and Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse and Motomachi district are popular for their quaint atmosphere. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom at places like Goryokaku Park, a star-shaped fort that offers stunning views of the sakura. Hakodate is also renowned for its fresh seafood, particularly crab and squid, making it a must-visit for food lovers.
