Hakodate: Historic Port & Mt. Hakodate Ropeway Tour

A beautiful trading port at a glance
Goryokaku Tower

I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the panoramic view of Japan's trading port.

Listen to your guide's commentary as you ascend the picturesque Hachimanzaka hill and visit the former British Consulate, a hub of diplomacy. The highlight of the tour is taking the Hakodate Ropeway to the summit, where you'll be treated to a uniquely beautiful landscape where the sea and city intertwine, as well as a dazzling nightscape. Depending on your schedule, you can choose between a daytime tour focused on historical exploration or a night tour focused on admiring the nightscape.
