    It’s definitely worth coming during the day too. You get a full view of Hakodate city and the bay, and the view feels incredibly open.

    You can clearly see Hakodate’s unique geography, with the sea on both sides and a narrow stretch connecting the middle. It’s really special.

    The night view from Mt. Hakodate is seriously insane.
    Seeing it in person is like 10x more impressive than photos—no wonder people call it a world-class night view.
