About a 15-minute drive from downtown Matsuyama, it's easy to get to and is one of the largest shopping malls in Ehime. It's a great place to spend half a day browsing at a leisurely pace. The UNIQLO on the first floor has a wide selection. In addition to current-season items, there are also racks of past-season merchandise where you can find bargains at even better prices. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good deal! When you get tired of shopping, there's no need to leave right away. The second floor has a food court where you can choose a restaurant for a meal, then grab some dessert to recharge. Once you're full and reenergized, you can keep shopping!

Hakodate Station
Hakodate Station's commercial zone was renovated in 2016 with the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen. On the first floor is the "Hokkaido Shikisaikan JR Hakodate Store" offering a variety of local specialties and products, while the second floor features restaurants and an observation deck called the "Rotunda Deck" where visitors can take pictures of trains arriving and departing on the platforms.
這次選擇從札幌搭乘新幹線前往函館，雖然沿途大約需要4個小時，坐在車上慢慢欣賞窗外景色，看看沿途不同的風景，享受慢慢移動的旅行節奏。準備一些小活動也很適合打發時間，像是折紙就意外地很有用，一邊折、一邊聊天，不知不覺時間就過去了。
抵達函館車站後，一走出車站就能明顯感受到和札幌不同的氛圍，人潮少了許多，街道也更加悠閒，很有濃厚的在地生活感。若是在聖誕節前後造訪，街頭還能看到應景的聖誕燈飾〜 -

Hakodate Airport
The second largest airport in Hokkaido after New Chitose Airport, it is the gateway to the Donan (southern Hokkaido region). It serves domestic flights to Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and three other airports in Hokkaido, as well as international flights to Taipei.
Although Hakodate Airport is much smaller than New Chitose Airport, there are still plenty of unique little shops to explore inside the terminal. Compared with the popular souvenirs commonly found at larger airports, it's easier to discover distinctive local Hakodate products here, including some that may be hard to find elsewhere. It's a good place for some last-minute treasure hunting before your trip ends. Products sold at the airport have likely undergone some level of screening, so their quality and taste are relatively reliable. If you see something you like, I recommend buying it right away! Otherwise, realizing you didn't buy it after returning home is often what you'll regret most.

Shiroi Koibito Park
Shiroi Koibito is a well-known brand of sweets in Hokkaido. At Shiroi Koibito Park, you can tour the production line, learn the history of chocolate from the display, and create your own Shiroi Koibito snack.
The park is themed around the classic Shiroi Koibito chocolate cookies and is filled with European-style architecture and a fairy-tale atmosphere, making it great for photos. Besides touring and sampling sweets, the shop also sells Hokkaido-exclusive products that are different from the usual souvenirs found at the airport and are very cute.
