Cruises visiting Hakodate

Located opposite the straits of Tsugaru, for a long time Hakodate was the only entry point to the island of Hokkaido, in the north of Japanese archipelago. Because of its age-old trading activity with other countries, the town has an unusual architectural landscape, combining traditional Japanese buildings with more Western constructions. You can take a pleasant stroll along the bayﾠ to check out the many boutiques and restaurants, while taking a foodie break to eat a bowl of ramen noodles. ﾠMt Hakodate towers above the town; hike or take the cable car to the summit for fantastic views.
