Mt. Hakodate Observatory
The Mt. Hakodate Observatory is the final stop of Mt. Hakodate Ropeway. The first floor features an inside lounge, the Ryoubi Park popular among locals as a less-crowded area to enjoy the night sceneries. The second floor features a summit shop, and restaurant selling Mt. Hakodate original goods. The third floor features a tea lounge, and the fourth floor features an observatory lounge.
We took the ropeway up in winter when it was -8°C. The night view was absolutely gorgeous. Lots of people were taking pictures, and there was also a shop selling souvenirs and postcards. I came here with my wife on our honeymoon.
If I get the chance, I’d definitely love to come back again.
