MUST VISIT! The Perfect 2-Day Hakodate Itinerary: Star Fort, Best Ramen & A Birthday!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to our Hokkaido series! ⚓️✨

In today’s video, we’re leaving the hot springs of Noboribetsu behind and heading south to the beautiful port city of Hakodate.

On our way, we couldn’t resist a quick stop at Lake Toya, a stunning caldera lake with a surprisingly cool castle-shaped boat! Once we arrived in Hakodate, we headed straight for the iconic Goryōkaku Park. Seeing that massive 5-pointed star shape from the top of the Goryōkaku Tower was definitely a highlight of the trip!

We also celebrated a very special day, my husband’s birthday! 🎂 From a delicious tonkatsu dinner to those famous custard cream puffs and sweet crepes, we definitely ate well. We also explored the historic Red Brick Warehouses, visited the Morning Market, and took the Mount Hakodate Ropeway for some of the best views in Japan.

We even stayed in what might be our favorite hotel of the entire trip! 🏨
