[Walking in Japan] Hakodate City, Hokkaido

Hakodate city is a tourist destination.
It is a port town and has had many foreign consulates for a long time, so it is different from the typical Japanese scenery.
The city is very compact and you can get around in a day by bus or tram without having to rent a car.
Of course, if you take your time to look at all the materials, you won’t be able to see everything in one day.
