Shopping here isn’t as cutting-edge or trendy as the big department stores in Tokyo, but it’s a great value and feels much more relaxed and laid-back.

JR Hakata City
This largest train building / retail complex in Kyushu is directly connected to JR Hakata Station. It is made up of AMU Plaza Hakata, and Hakata Hankyu at the Hakata Entrance on the west side and HAKATA DEITOS and AMU EST at the Chikushi Entrance on the east side.
If you're staying near the station or coming back at night, this place is perfect—you can shop, grab a bite, and pick up souvenirs all in one go.

Hakodate Meiji-kan
The Bay Area is a popular tourist destination in Hakodate. The Hakodate Meiji-kan is a commercial facility located in one section of the bay area, where you can find stores selling products perfect for Hakodate souvenirs.
The glassware and craft shops here display some beautiful glass items. I recommend picking up a few of these lovely souvenirs to take home.

Motomachi Park (Hakodate)
Nestled in at the base of Mount Hakodate, Motomachi Park offers unforgettable, sprawling views out over Hakodate Port. The park was first established 1982 as home to a number of cultural heritage buildings, including the former Hokkaido Government Hakodate Branch Office, the old Hakodate Magistrate's Office Book Depository and nationally designated Important Cultural Property, the former Hakodate Ward Public Hall.
You can get a great view of all of Hakodate from here. Motomachi Park is an awesome spot to watch the sunset and enjoy the night scenery.
