  • This place is famous for its fresh, high-quality seafood rice bowls and charcoal-grilled fish. It's super popular, and there's always a long line on weekends. If you love seafood bowls, you have to try it—don't miss out!

  • The building itself is a classic Hakodate-style mix of Japanese and Western architecture—really unique! If you're done exploring Motomachi in the morning, this is a great spot to relax and have some afternoon tea. Their hot coffee, aged for three years, is a must-try. If you like this kind of vintage café, I highly recommend this place.

  • The decor is really comfortable and clean. Besides drinks, coffee, and desserts, there are plenty of main dishes to choose from. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend it—it's a great place for a meal!

  • There's a café inside the British Consulate where you can enjoy afternoon tea and try some British tea. It really feels like being in Europe! Before you leave, check out the shop for some tea sets or souvenirs.

  • The altar inside the church was a gift from the Pope and is beautifully detailed—really luxurious and precious. There's also a 10-story bell tower outside, and the weathercock on top is said to bring blessings and protection. It's a landmark in the Motomachi area and definitely unique.

  • After seeing the night view in Hakodate, I stayed at a local Yunokawa Onsen ryokan and really enjoyed soaking in the hot springs. You can even see the famous monkeys bathing in the hot springs nearby! I love coming here—the water is a sodium-calcium chloride spring, which is said to help with nerve pain, muscle aches, and fatigue. Highly recommend!

  • Riding horses in the snow is a totally different experience! The horses walk just fine even in snowy conditions. The ranch has simple wooden cabins and a huge forest area, so you’re not just riding in a small circle—you really get to enjoy the full horseback riding experience.

  • At the visitor center theater, you can watch a 15-minute film on a big screen. No worries about the language barrier—it's available in six languages! You also get to see the beautiful seasonal changes of Lake Shikotsu. There are tours of the forest and valleys too, so you really get to experience the natural beauty of the area.

  • The owner uses their own homegrown lemons, sparing no expense—each drink has more than one and a half lemons! The lemonade is mildly sweet and tangy. I always have to order it every time I visit.

  • This place is a small bakery and coffee shop converted from a century-old warehouse. They bake all kinds of handmade bread daily, and the space is filled with the gentle aroma of wheat and coffee. Their toast and bagels are really popular, made with the healthiest yeast for delicious bread.
