Hi Ken-chan, i was in Hakodate in december 2023 and stayed at La'Gent Hakodate. Went to Goryokaku park and tower and mount Hakodate too. You are right mount Hakodate night view was spectacular! I did not get a good view also because the observation deck was soooo crowded. It's a shame that you did not make this video earlier as I didn't know about Isabiri Park and Jiyoken Ramen Shop😢, else i would have gone. Hope to see you soon.
The La'Gent looks very nice right in front of the station. Ohhh so the observatory is always busy like that. It was very dark so I didn't notice the Isaribi park until after I left and see my footage. 😄 Thank you for sharing.
Great video.. Some of the city places looked similar to here in Melbourne. Can’t wait to go ✈️
Thank you for watching! Yes, it might be. Maybe you can enjoy bicycle in Hokkaido too. :)
I was there last November. Love that place cannot wait to go back...
How nice. Hakodate must look nicer with Autumn leaves. :)
This is a great video. I am planning to visit Hokkaido next summer. I learned a lot. Thank you.
I'm glad you liked the video. I wish you the best Hokkaido summer trip! Thank you for watching.
Cant fit Hokkaido into my itinerary but definitely would go when I graduate high school next year!
Oh great! I hope you enjoy planning your trip to Japan for the future. :)
I visited Hakodate 15 years ago and I wanted to live there.
Excellent video and very informative. We enjoyed watching it.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching. :)
Wow! Those views from the top of the mountain looked spectacular! Definitely going to look into visiting Hakodate when planning a Hokkaido focused Japan trip!
Sounds great! Hakodate will be a great start or the finale of Hokkaido trip. :)
Very delicious food
and drink too!! 🤤🤤🤤
Great video! Great views
Thank you so much!
This was a great view of the north side of Japan. I see a lot of videos of the usual Hokkaido/Sapporo sights, but I've not seen a video done of the Hakodate area, yet, until yours. Thanks for a new perspective on the north side.
Thank you for watching. Yes. It's the same island of Hokkaido, but Hakodate is somewhat different from Sapporo and other parts of Hokkaido. :)
Fantastic video as always, Kengo-san. It is interesting that the morning markets do not seem to open very early in Hakodate. Also, the view from Mt Hakodate is amazing.
Thank you for your recommendations!
Thank you! It seems many stores are open at 6am but many hotels have breakfast so people might not come out until later time. The view from Mt.Hakodate was amazing, I'd like to see it in summer too. :)
Kengo-san, another great video. I had a great stay at the JR Inn back in October and did many of the sites you show. This video would have been super useful and I'm sure any first time visitors will get a lot from it.
Motomachi was a beautiful area and I used a good percentage of my memory card on photos here 🤣
Thank you again for another super informative video.
Jamie san, oh you went to Hakodate too! JR Inn was my No.1 candidate but it got full booked. Yes, I like the slopes around Motomachi area. It must be more phogenic in Fall or Summer. :) Thank you for watching!
@@tokyokenchan Yes, it seems the JR Inn is very popular. I booked in advance for a good price but it was fully booked the day I arrived.
That's great Jamie san. I like trains so maybe next time! @@jeighteen8297
Great video as always Kenchan! Hakodate is definitely on my list to visit one day. It looks like such a great place to travel too.
Thank you for watching Ryuga san! I'm glad you liked Hakodate. It's different from other parts like Kyoto or Tokyo. :)
I have no idea why Im more attracted to places like Aomori and Hakodate more than big cities like Osaka
Maybe you like quiet places. :)
Loved this video. Never realized how different the architecture is in Hakodate. Must add this location to one of my future trips to Japan. Arigato Kengo san!
Thank you so much Lilly san for watching this video! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, it's a little different from other parts of Japan. Hakodate is somewhat nostalgic, mostly quiet and walkable area. :)
Another great video the usual good background information that can enhance a traveler’s experience. Thank you!
Thank you Kevin san Dale san! It’s still like 3% done of what I want to make videos about so I’ll keep working on it!
@@tokyokenchan looking forward to seeing the video when you are satisfied with it because it will be amazing!
Amazing best of luck for your promising future.have a good day. everything will get better for you. I wish you health and happiness every day. I Wish your full of happiness in your life.I wish you success .thank you for sharing wish you a lot of health and energetic new day.👍like👍
Hi Kenchan, this was one of your best vids ever. I really enjoyed walking through Hakodate with you. I have a keen interest in Japanese art and culture during the Edo period and so I tried to imagine what Hakodate was like back then. I especially liked the tour of the Old Public Hall. The night views of the city lights were breathtaking. What I especially loved about this vid is that it depicts what life is like outside a huge city like Tokyo.
Thank you and as always I'm looking forward to your next video.
Thank you for watching and such a warm comment. I'm pleased to hear this video was the best! It's also great to hear which part was good as I can get some idea for the future videos. Yes, we are also going through big changes of life style such as Internet and AI, but I can't imagine how scary and exciting to change something lasted 200 years. Thank you again. :)
Hi Kenchan. Great video! We were there in November & stayed at La’gent Hakodate. Great hotel with good breakfast as well as convenient as it’s just beside the Hakodate station. Enjoy exploring Hakodate but didn’t manage to go up the mountain. Maybe next time. Tq again for your sharing!
Oh I saw that hotel right in front of Hakodate station. They had seafood breakfast? Looks like they have an amazing bath. :) Great you had a good time in Hakodate. Thank you for watching.
Another amazing place to add to our Must Visit list. Thank you Kengo
Thank you for watching Matt san! I'd like to add more to your list a little by little.😀
Very nice video!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for watching! :)
oh beautiful
Hakodate looks like an amazing place and that was in my opinion one of your best videos so far (all of them are good, but this one was especially great) ! I love the convenience store with the yakitori, the colonial houses and the sausage shop. The ropeway I would probably do during the day, because with so many people in the evening, I would feel very uncomfortable.
I once saw a video of an outdoor morning food market which starts at 6am and is only on sundays (I believe) in Hakodate. Do you know if that is still the case ?
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear this video was the best. :) I wasn't sure if Motomachi areas's Western style buildings appeal to travelers from abroad, but that's great you liked those little shops. I'm not sure about the morning market on Sundays. What I saw was there everyday, and I didn't see any information about the Sunday one. But it seems it's better to go early to avoid too many tourists. 👍
Thanks for the video and memories! We were there last year. You covered almost everything we did in half the time we took 😅😅, we stayed 4 nights in Hakodate and did nothing much 😬😬😬, other than to roam aimlessly near Hakodate station due to lack of preparation & research 😬😬😬
There's an old gentleman in the morning market selling souvenirs, he does wood carving, and he will carve your message on the spot! I think it's free of charge when you buy the wood from him to carve the message. He speaks some English too! 😊 He's quite the character and he's very friendly
Hokkaido is a very lovely prefecture, and it's very addictive 😬😬. We were already back for our 2nd trip earlier this month 💸💸💸💸💸 visit Hokkaido at your own risk
Oh wow 4 nights in Hakdoate! I can see you really like Hokkaido. 😄 That's great you met that old gentleman. I really didn't have time to explore enough and so many things I missed to do, so longer days would be better for relaxed trip. Thank you for watching and your fun comments. :)
@@tokyokenchan ooops...my bad, we spent 3 nights in Hakodate only 😬😬😅😅. We bought the JR East South Hokkaido Pass, we spent 2 nights in Aomori, 3 nights in Hakodate before travelling to Sapporo on the 6th day, the last day of the pass
😁😁😁 We packed a lot more in this short trip in Sapporo because we joined a few day tours from Sapporo. The downside of day tours is that we cover a lot of ground but we have very limited time at each tourist attractions 😪🥲🥲
Asahiyama Zoo is great! But I didn't get to see the penguins 🐧🐧 because I wasted too much time elsewhere 😅😅
We did the drift ice tour too, but I was a bit disappointed with it because we never went out to sea!
Ironically, I discovered that places that I have very low expectations (Asahiyama Zoo for example) tend to exceed my expectations. The drift ice tour was the highlight and main draw of this trip, but I was a bit underwhelmed 😂😂😂. Mainly because I thought we will go out to sea but we never left the harbour 😭😭😭. I still enjoyed myself very much though 😅😅
@@tokyokenchanyou're welcome and I hope you will have more time when you next visit Hokkaido
I first saw snow in my entire life last year in Echigo-Yuzawa, maybe I had such high expectations that I was highly disappointed with the snow in Mar. The snow then was like crushed ice only
The snow this Feb in Hokkaido has brought back some of the magic of snow for someone living in the tropics 😁😁 I finally got to touch some fluffy snow and snowflakes!
Now, all that is left is for us to start saving money for our next winter trip. I hope we can visit Hokkaido again next Feb! 😍😍😍
@@tokyokenchan again, thanks for the memories. I went through my Hakodate photos and found the name of the old gentleman's store in Hakodate's morning market, it's 梅澤工房 木の店 こうぶんぼく. I have no idea what the words in Japanese are because that's what was given when I did a google search
My wife and I have been to Hakodate about 15 times in 20 years and were there on 12/31. We always get our fresh pressed grilled squid from the same stall. (The big earthquake hit the next day when we got to Sapporo.)
Oh wow 15 times! You really like Hakodate! There were no squid on the market on the day I visited. I have to try next time.
TQ for this informative video.
I will visit Aomori and Hakodate in Autum, so this Vlog is very helpful. Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching. It must be more beautiful in Autumn. :)
Nice video. I’m heading to Hakodate and Sapporo in April.
Oh that’s great! Thank you for watching. :)
Very helpful mostly definitely for Hakodate Ken Chan!! Been on my and thought of visiting this is perfect for when I want to!! 👏👏👏
Thank you Alan san for watching this video! Yes, Hakodate has lots of good foods so I hope you can visite there someday! 😄
@@tokyokenchanme too hopefully real soon!! Thank you!! 🤝🤝🤝

2 yrs ago i was in Hakodate, here on video i see many familiar places :) thanks for the memories
Thank you for watching. I'm glad I could follow the same path with you. :)
Very nice ❤ place to visit
Thank you. :) I hope you can visit Hakodate someday.
@@tokyokenchan it will be easier visiting Japan with your videos, they are very useful and you are a great youtuber , congratulations again and greettings from Spain
We love Japan Train 🍒🍒🍒
Half of my year is in Japan. I have been doing this for 10 years. My Japanese is terrible (my fault).
I very much enjoy all your videos. Both length and content is first rate (ichiban!). (^.-)
I have started the habit of "liking" before I watch. I want your channel to succeed. I have one suggestion. Sound Levels. Please let me explain...
Voice overs for video seem best. They are clear and relevant. Of course, I understand you must keep your voice low in the streets. But often I can't hear (and your information is very important). I turn up the volume. But the next segment - a voice over - knocks me down. (^.^) (loud).
Your English is wonderful. Very impressive. YOUR voice is the most important sound (in my opinion). Music less important. Street noise is nice for "atmosphere" but... again... YOU are the sound I want to hear. I'm not certain what equipment you have. But... if you can please test each video for sound levels (and adjust those where sounds are very low or very loud). Often, where you go I have been. But, also often, I hear your comments and think "I didn't know that!" (^.-). Thank you for reading my comment. I am eager to watch your next video. Otsukaresama deshita.
Thank you for kindly giving me advice in the gentle way. Sorry for knocking you down with my voice 😅 I hope you were ok. I was thinking if I should put subtitles over for the scenes like before Starbucks and after the consulate. I will try to volume up when surrounding noise is not big. And of course I’d like to prepare microphone when I speak to the camera. Usually I cut out and don’t put these footages that I suddenly randomly talk to my phone saying little comments or jokes that came up to my brain, which I’m doing all the time in my daily life… Also I try to speak clearly and slower when talking to camera. Filming and editing ( and English) is very difficult but I try to get better soon. It might not be very soon but I’ll get better. Again, thank you for trying to watch my videos and sparing your time to write me this in the nicest way possible😊
Look so cold over there. How many degrees are in Japan now?
It’s much warmer than usual this year and I was expecting lots of snow in Hakodate. Tokyo is 3 C degree now and Hakodate is - 4 C degree now. It’s a little cold today. :)
