[2025 Hakodate Attraction] Travel Guide for Mt. Hakodate Observatory (Updated Jun)

Hakodate, the setting for the Conan movie❤️🔥 How about a trip where you can enjoy a pilgrimage to the holy land? #Hakodate #Mt. Hakodate #Mt. Hakodate Ropeway #Million-dollar night view #Goryokaku Tower #Goryokaku Park #Hachimanzaka #Lucky Pierrot #Kanamori Red Brick Warehouse Speaking of Hakodate, Goryokaku🗼 It was just when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so Goryokaku Tower was crowded. Goryokaku Tower tickets were purchased in advance for 1200 yen →1080 yen for a good deal🉐 Went for a walk in Goryokaku Park! The cherry blossoms were beautiful and I could walk forever!! There were people having picnics and BBQs in the park☺️ I definitely wanted to go to Hachimanzaka! It was sunny and there weren't many cars in the area, so tourists were taking photos (lol) Kanamori Red Brick Warehouse, which you can walk to from Hachimanzaka! There is also Lucky Pierrot, which originated in Hakodate, nearby. There are souvenir shops and a beer hall to enjoy! Lucky Pierrot is so delicious that I was surprised 🍔🍟 At night, we went to Mt. Hakodate, which is famous for its million-dollar night view!! The night view starts after 7pm on the day we went, so we arrived at the top around 6:30pm and waited outside. It was cold and freezing, so you might need cold weather gear! Some people were even down. The gondola on the way back is crowded, so you should prepare to wait 30 minutes 😵💫 The gondola moves every 5 minutes! The round-trip ticket is 1800 yen 🎫 In addition to cash, you can use credit cards and electronic money! 🥹

#100 Ways to Travel Attractions: #Hakodate Mountain Observatory #Hakodate Mountain Night View 📍Address: 19-7 Motomachi, Hakodate City, Hokkaido 🕰️Business hours: Hakodate Mountain Observatory 10:00~22:00/Hakodate Mountain Cable Car 10:00~22:00 (until 21:00 in winter) 💞Recommendation reason: When you come to #Hakodate, the must-see attraction is the Hakodate Mountain #night view, which is listed as "the world's three major night views". It shines like a whale's tail on the Tanzu Strait. Transportation tips: Take the System 1 Hakodate Mountain Bus from JR Hakodate Station to reach the Hakodate Cable Car Station and the Summit Station. Take the tram from JR Hakodate Station to "Jizugai Station" and walk about 10 minutes to the Hakodate Cable Car Station. Those who drive themselves can drive to the Hakodate Mountain Cable Car Station or the paid parking lot at the top of the mountain, but there are not many parking spaces. Sometimes there will be restrictions when there are too many people, and other vehicles except buses and taxis cannot go up the mountain. I arrived at the #Hakodateshan Cable Car Station at around 4pm. The cable car station will display the sunset time and visibility at the top of the mountain for the day. Everyone can consider whether to go up the mountain. The views are also spectacular during the day, and there is almost no queue for the cable car. But everyone comes here for the night view, and the later you come, the more crowded the crowds are. The cable car ticket for the mountain is 1,200 yen for a one-way trip and 1,800 yen for a round trip. It is recommended to buy a round trip ticket because the crowds on the return trip are so terrifying that they seem like they are fleeing. The cable car goes down the mountain at the fastest speed, running every 3 to 5 minutes and can carry 125 people. The Hakodate Observatory is divided into two floors. The bottom floor, where the cable car just comes in, is a glass area. The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about getting cold even in winter, and there are basic seats where you can sit down and wait for nightfall. But the disadvantage is that there will be reflections when shooting night scenes. When the weather is good, the outdoor area will basically be crowded with people and tripods. Sitting on the steps and slowly waiting for the night to fall, the night view of Hakodate has also been described as like a scattered jewel box. There is no light pollution and no air pollution. The #MillionNightView of Hakodate is really intoxicating. You can visit the souvenir shop before going down the mountain and then line up for the cable car. I recommend it to everyone.

The summit of Hakodate Mountain in Japan is an exceptional place to observe the skyline. Standing at the top, it feels as if you are above the clouds, with a magnificent panorama unfolding before your eyes. Below, the bustling yet serene cityscape of Hakodate weaves a captivating tapestry, while the distant sea sparkles and meets the sky, forming an endless blue line. The seamless blend of sea and sky creates a vast and majestic view that opens up the heart and evokes a sense of transcendence. As the sunlight shifts throughout the day, the scenery transforms unpredictably. From the gentle light of dawn to the bright midday sun, and finally to the splendid hues of dusk, each moment is like a carefully crafted painting that leaves one in awe. Especially when night falls, the twinkling stars and the lights below create a dreamlike atmosphere, making it feel as if you are in a dazzling fairy tale world.

# Sign up for cruise test seat membership I believe that people who were born in Hong Kong will not have a strong interest in other night scenes around the world, because Hong Kong’s night views are so beautiful that they can shock people’s hearts. However, when you come to Hakodate, you really don’t want to miss the “Mt. Hakodate Night View” that is a must-visit for tourists. We chose to take the cable car up the mountain before dusk. At this time, you can enjoy the scenery at noon, dusk and night. I thought that only the night view would be the highlight, but it was already very beautiful in the afternoon and you could clearly see the entire Hakodate city. Moreover, there are very few people during this period, so you can visit and take photos as much as you want📷 At dusk🌇, you will be surrounded by the entire sky that has been dyed orange. No matter which direction you look, it is a very romantic scene. Photography enthusiasts must go to the designated spot for night scene shooting at this time. Because the flow of people continues to increase at this time, if you go to your seat too late, you will stand behind six or seven rows of people, unable to see anything, let alone take pictures of the night scene... I was the one who queued up too late. In the end, I had to hold my camera high at the back to take a few photos of the night view🥲. But at this first glance, I can still feel how worthwhile this million-dollar night scene is. The beauty of the night view of Mt. Hakodate flows quietly, consisting of the sea, traffic and a little bit of lights in the building. Although it is not as layered as the night view of Hong Kong, the vast scenery is still eye-catching. The photos I took are far less than one-tenth of what you can see with the naked eye. It is a scenic spot that you will not regret after visiting. #Hokkaido #Hakodate #Hakodateyama night view #night view #twilight

Mt. Hakodate can be said to be the symbol of Hakodate. The altitude itself is not that high, and you can easily access the top by using the ropeway, but since there are no obstructions around, the sense of height and the scenery are outstanding. It is particularly famous for its night view, which is counted as one of the three best night views in Japan. However, it's not just the night view; the daytime view is also quite spectacular, and in addition to a panoramic view of the city of Hakodate, you can also see the mountains in the distance, ships heading into the Tsugaru Strait, and even the Shinkansen. #DomesticTravel #HakodateTourism #Mt.Hakodate #Scenery #Japan'sThreeBestNightViews

To the "Hakodateyama Observatory" 🗼 We were lucky that the weather was good that day, and the night view was very beautiful. However, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it was quite crowded with people 😂 It seems that it is quite difficult to see such a beautiful night view, so I hope that I can go on a nice day 🐶💘 #Breathtaking views #Gourmet trip #Historical sites #Photogenic spots #Illuminations #Hokkaido #Recommended list

I went to see the night view of Mt. Hakodate, which has been selected as one of the three best night views in Japan. The view was so beautiful I was speechless, and I truly wanted to keep looking at it. It was not as far away as the view from an airplane, and I felt like I was looking down on the earth from just the right distance. #Breathtaking view #Night view #

#Mt. Hakodate Mount Hakodate is a place that almost everyone goes to when they come to Hakodate. It is 334 meters high, not much different from Tokyo Tower, but the night view from this mountain has been chosen as one of the three best night views in Japan, and is world famous, so it is still a place that attracts tourists today. There is no need for me to explain anything about the night view, there is just a beautiful and magnificent night view there! It is so amazing that it is no exaggeration to say that you come to Hakodate just to see this, so if you come to Hakodate, please go and see it! ! #breathtakingview

Hakodate Mountain Observatory You can get to the Hakodate Mountain Observatory by ropeway, car, bus, or climbing on your own. There are also various climbing routes available. If you are driving, please note that there are restrictions on private cars at night to ease traffic congestion. The night view is famous, but I personally prefer it during the day. When the weather is nice, the view is spectacular! #climbing

This time, we will introduce the night view from the observation deck in Hakodate City, Hokkaido. 🌃 Hakodate is located in the southern part of Hokkaido and is known as one of the three best night views in the world. The view from Mt. Hakodate is particularly famous. From the summit, which is 334 meters above sea level, the fan-shaped cityscape and the unique terrain surrounded by the sea on both sides look like jewels. At night, the lights of the port and the city blend beautifully, captivating visitors. If the weather is good, you can even see as far as Aomori. There is a cafe on the observation deck where you can relax and enjoy the view from inside. ⭐️ Hakodate's night view is not just "beautiful", but is highly regarded as a beautiful fusion of nature and city. Please come and experience it live at least once⭐️ _____________________________________________ ⭐️ : Hakodateyama Observatory 📍Address: Hakodateyama, Hakodate City, Hokkaido 040-0000 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-22:00 #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #HokkaidoTrip #Hakodate

Luckily I booked a good hotel through trip.com and successfully made a quick trip to Hakodate. The hotel balcony view is comparable to the night view of a million-dollar hotel. The facilities include hot springs♨️ where you can soak every day to eliminate your tired body and mind. The hotel parking lot is 550 Dan per day, which is cost-effective. You can store your luggage during check-in & check-out. Highly recommended! There are discounts for consecutive bookings. 😃😃 Happy🥳

If you come to Hakodate, you can't miss the night view of Mt. Hakodate. The ever-changing sky and city lights create a panoramic view worthy of the name "million-dollar night view." From the moment you reach the top of the mountain by ropeway, you'll have a special, uplifting experience. The daytime view is especially great on a sunny day. You can drive to the top of the mountain, so it's also recommended as a way to combine a drive. That moment of quiet, breathtaking silence is a trip moment that will be engraved in your life. If you go to Hakodate, be sure to visit this place. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

Hakodate is the capital of Hokkaido... We who always thought of it as Sapporo 😅 The plan was to travel from Tokyo to Hakodate for 3 days 2 nights and up to Sapporo for 4 days and 3 nights. The period we went was spring, the weather was 9-19 degrees, it was nice and cool to walk during the day, a little cold at night. The city is not very big. If anyone comes to visit, I recommend the seafood at Hakodate Morning Market. Fresh, new, lots to choose from and many shops. If my house was close, I would probably come to buy fish to take back every day 😅 There is a tram, 600 yen for the whole day, but 210-260 yen for a single trip. If you charter for 1 day, the bus + tram is 1,400 yen. Most of the tourist attractions can be connected on foot, such as the Red Brick Warehouse, the port, around the bay, and walk up Hachimanzaka Hill, the old town Motomachi, the Orthodox Church, the Episcopal Church, and Hakodate Hachimangu Shrine. And end the day by taking the Mt.Hakodate Ropeway to watch the sunset and have dinner. You should go up before 5 pm because there are a lot of people going to watch the sunset. On the way back, you should go down after 8 pm. When I went down from 7:45-8 pm, there were a lot of people, packed like sardines in the gondola (can hold 125 people). It must be the maximum limit 😅

Hakodate has trams and Kanemori warehouses. Hakodate has the clown burger, Hakodate has the night view of Mt. Hakodate, Even in Hakodate there are monkeys taking a hot spring bath🐒♨️ Of course, the cruise ships, harbors, and ocean scenery that port cities have... It also has the cozy and leisurely atmosphere of a port city, and is a city full of vitality and charm! 👍 The highlight of this trip to Hokkaido is of course Enjoy the Hakodate Goryo Cherry Blossom Season! 🌸🌸🌸🌸 Hakodate Goryokaku Sakura is indeed the largest cherry blossom season in Japan! There are about 1,500 cherry trees in Goryokaku Park. The cherry blossoms bloom like clouds, turning this place into a beautiful pink scene! It’s so beautiful! 🥰🥰🥰 No doubt about it~ Cherry blossom viewing in Japan is definitely the best! 👍 We rented a car from Sapporo for this trip to Hokkaido. Drive to Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, and then to Hakodate; Finally, drive back to Sapporo to return the car. In fact, the original plan was to take JR and buses to connect various scenic spots. But later I found out that renting a car is only a little bit more expensive🤏 Renting a car and driving yourself is of course more flexible in terms of itinerary arrangements. You can also visit Mount Usu, Lake Kutara, Lake Shikotsu, Hokuto cherry blossoms, etc. Take in all the beautiful sights of Daonan! Renting a car and driving yourself can save time and enrich your itinerary. Although it is a little more expensive, it is definitely worth it! 😚 I didn't plan to rent a car because I thought it would be a waste to not need a car for three days and two nights in Hakodate. But then I changed my mind and rented a car. Therefore, you can drive up the mountain after 10pm when the restrictions on Mt. Hakodate are lifted. Enjoy the night view of Hakodate, one of the three best night views in the world, in a private room! Just the fact that you don't have to squeeze in with other people to take the cable car up the mountain, Driving in Hakodate is really worth it! 😎

Hakodate City's night view~ They say it's one of Japan's top three night views~ It seems like the unique city structure and low hills and low buildings play a part~ A city of sunsets and night views~

#cityplaybook With its harbor breeze, historic buildings, and soothing pace, Hakodate is one of Hokkaido’s most charming cities. Whether you’re here for the food, the views, or the quiet corners, it’s a place that makes slowing down feel natural. I started my day in the Hakodate Bay Area, where the red-brick warehouses and calm waters set the tone for a relaxed stroll. The mix of old buildings, sea air, and cozy shops is hard to beat. After wandering, I stopped by Yukura Shrine, a peaceful spot tucked away near the hot springs. It’s the kind of place where even a short visit leaves you feeling refreshed. For lunch, I had a bowl of shio ramen at Shinano—light, salty, and packed with local flavor. Just what you want on a cool Hokkaido day. As evening fell, I took the Hakodate Ropeway up the mountain. The view from the top? Simply stunning. The lights of the city against the bay and sky—worth every second. Why I recommend Hakodate: ・It’s a perfect blend of port-town history, fresh seafood, and relaxing vibes ・The night view is one of Japan’s most famous for a reason—and it lives up to the hype 📍Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan #Hakodate #Hokkaido #BayAreaViews #RedBrickWarehouses #YukuraShrine #ShioRamen #RopewayViews #SlowTravel #JapanTrip #CityGuide

If you come to Hokkaido, you must visit Hanguan. Hanguan has a beautiful million-dollar night view. The scenery during the day and at night has different feelings and is breathtakingly beautiful!

The night view of Hakodate is known as one of the three best night views in the world, along with Hong Kong and Naples. Its charm comes from its unique terrain. Hakodate City is located at the southern tip of Hokkaido, on a narrow peninsula surrounded by the Tsugaru Strait and Hakodate Bay on both sides. When overlooking from Mt. Hakodate, the lights of thousands of houses along the coastline outline a double arc-shaped brilliant outline, like a jewel necklace inlaid in the dark night, hence the reputation of "Million Dollar Night View". When night falls, the city lights and the ocean waves complement each other, and the snowy scenery in winter adds to the romance. The mountaintop observatory can be reached by cable car and is suitable for viewing in all seasons. The "magic hour" when the deep blue night falls is particularly breathtaking. It is a must-visit scenic spot in Hokkaido. #Japan #Hokkaido #Hakodate

#0 yen trip "◆ Overview Mt. Hakodate is the best spot to get a panoramic view of Hakodate city. At night, the lights of Hakodate city sparkle, creating a beautiful view that looks like a starry sky. The daytime view is also beautiful, so you can enjoy it both day and night. ◆ Impressions The night view from the summit is spectacular! Seeing the whole city of Hakodate shining, it felt like a scene from a movie. I recommend climbing during the day to enjoy the view, and then seeing the illuminated cityscape at night 💫 ◆ Access / Tips ・You can easily access the summit by ropeway ・The best time to see the night view is 30 minutes after sunset ・If you want to avoid the crowds, we recommend a weekday evening"

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 #Hakodate A little reminder before departure: check the weather first + there will be a lot of people! Before setting off, we recommend that you check the [Mt. Hakodate Live Video] online to directly confirm the weather and visibility conditions for the day. After all, if it rains or fogs, the night view will be greatly reduced, which is a pity! We are here on weekdays! But there were still a lot of people on the scene, and it took about 30 to 50 minutes from buying tickets to taking the cable car. Although one cable car can hold a lot of people, it is still recommended that you make good use of your time and arrive as early as possible so that you don't have to wait too long. ⸻ 🚠Things to note when taking the cable car + observation deck After arriving at the Hakodate Mountain Cable Car Station, I followed the crowds and instructions and took the cable car, which took only 3 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. But a small reminder: after you get up the mountain that day, you are not allowed to stop at the main viewing platform to take pictures (probably due to crowd control), so you can only move quickly and cannot stand in the middle and take pictures slowly. Friends who want to take slow photos can go to the nearby [Fishing Fire Park], where the scenery is also beautiful and there are relatively fewer people. ⸻ 📷Best photography tips + check-in spots It is recommended to go up the mountain before dark, because when we arrived, many people in the front row had already reserved seats. If you go up the mountain too late, it will be difficult to find a good location to take pictures of the stunning scenery. In addition, when you go out from the second floor of the mountain top, there is a large stone tablet with "Mount Hakodate" written on it. There are fewer people here, so it is a good place to check in and take a few photos! There is also a gift shop in the museum, selling some desserts, cookies and souvenirs, but taking photos is prohibited in the store, so I didn’t take any~ ⸻ Tips for going down the mountain: Go and queue up as soon as you finish taking photos! A very important reminder: After taking pictures after dark, I suggest you quickly queue up for the cable car down the mountain! Although the cable car is large, it only carries one passenger at a time. There are so many people on site. If you wait until the last minute to line up, it will be very slow to go down the mountain, and your dinner or other itineraries may be delayed. ⸻ 🥶Keep warm! Stay warm! Keep warm again! The wind at the top of Mount Hakodate is very strong and it is really cold, especially if you come here in winter. Be sure to prepare small windproof and warm items such as hats, earmuffs, and gloves, otherwise you will be so cold on the mountain that you will shiver all the time, which will affect your mood for taking pictures.

The charm of Mt. Hakodate that colors the night of Hakodate If you visit Hakodate, you should definitely visit Mt. Hakodate. From this mountain, which is 334 meters above sea level, you can see the fan-shaped city of Hakodate and the bay. When the sun goes down, the city lights begin to twinkle like jewels, and you are enveloped in a beautiful night view like floating in the sky. It is no wonder that it is known as one of the three best night views in Japan. Access by ropeway is recommended It is convenient to use the ropeway to the top of Mt. Hakodate. It takes about 3 minutes to walk in the air and you will arrive at the top in no time. The observation deck at the top is spacious, and there is both an indoor space where you can enjoy the view through the glass without worrying about the night wind, and an outdoor space with a great sense of openness. Different views depending on the time of day At dusk, the sky and sea are dyed orange and purple, creating a fantastic atmosphere. When it gets completely dark, the lights of the city stand out clearly. If the weather is good, you may be able to see the land of Aomori Prefecture across the Tsugaru Strait. Enjoy a night with local cuisine After enjoying the night view, we recommend tasting Hakodate's seafood and local cuisine at a restaurant or cafe in the foothills area. It's the perfect way to spend a romantic evening. #Mt. Hakodate #night view spot #Hokkaido trip #ropeway #Japan's top three night views #spectacular view #travel memories #Spring 0 yen trip

When I visited Hakodate, I took the ropeway up Mount Hakodate. It was just sunset, and the sight of the sky gradually changing color was very fantastic. At night, the city lights came on all at once, creating a scene that looked like it was studded with jewels. I can see why it's called the "million dollar night view." There were a lot of tourists, and the observation deck was overflowing with people taking photos. It's sure to be crowded at night, but if you go to Hakodate, this is a recommended spot that you definitely can't miss! #Spring0YenTrip

The night view of Hakodate is known as one of the three major night views in the world and a Michelin three-star attraction, but after actually walking there, I felt that the cost-performance ratio was not very high. There were long queues and crowds of people both going up the mountain and going down the mountain. After taking the cable car to Mount Hakodate, the actual night view and photo taking time was only 3 to 5 minutes. Moreover, there were only beautiful lights in the front area, while the back was completely dark and there was no scenery. It is better to see it in person than to hear about it. It is still far inferior to other urban night views. The third floor is open for free photography, while the second floor is fenced off and you can spend ￥2,500 to have someone use a professional camera and lighting to take beautiful commemorative photos. Although the night view was a bit disappointing, taking the cable car was a good experience. It had a large space, good ventilation, and played music and Japanese commentary reminders. There is a barcode on the cable car ticket, and the same ticket can be used for both the round trip. If you accidentally lose or throw it away, you will have to buy a new ticket when you go down the mountain!

Hokkaido 7 day 6 nights travel was a memorable and unforgettable experience! Enjoy the slow pace, the snow, the breathtaking scenery and of course the sashimi and Japanese food! Definitely will come back again!

#Spring0yenTrip About 4 hours by express train from Sapporo, Hokkaido's third largest city, Hakodate. This is a city where you never get bored walking around, with an exquisite mix of exotic atmosphere and port town atmosphere. First, I had curry at the famous Lucky Pierrot, and it was more filling and tasty than I expected, so I was very satisfied. The unique interior of the store was also interesting, and it had a special feeling that was more than just fast food. After that, I strolled around the Red Brick Warehouse. There were stylish souvenirs and cafes lined up, and it had a touristy yet calm atmosphere. At night, I climbed Mount Hakodate and enjoyed the night view. The view of the city, sea, and light all together was truly spectacular and breathtakingly beautiful. It was a port town that could be enjoyed with all five senses.

A trip to Hakodate, the setting of the Detective Conan movie "The Million Dollar Five-Point Star" I've been wanting to go to Hakodate ever since I saw the Conan movie "The Million Dollar Five-Point Star" last year, and I finally made it there! I took the Hokuto Express 6 from Sapporo and arrived in about 4 hours. The long train ride went by in a flash, as I was soothed by the snowy scenery of Hokkaido that could be seen from the window. This time, I booked a hotel that appeared in a Conan movie, so I was even more excited. After arriving at Hakodate Station, I left my luggage at the hotel and headed to Hakodate Lucky Pierrot to fill my stomach! =========================================== 🍔 Hakodate Lucky Pierrot – Hakodate's famous hamburger ========================================== I ordered the Chinese chicken burger set, which I absolutely wanted to try when I came to Hakodate. The crispy chicken was coated with sweet and spicy sauce and was very delicious! The fries were also topped with plenty of cheese, so it was very filling and I was very satisfied. The unique interior of the restaurant also made the meal even more enjoyable. ============================================ ⛪️A stroll around Hachimanzaka and Motomachi, typical streets of Hakodate🚶 =========================================== After filling our stomachs, we took a stroll around Hachimanzaka and Motomachi, two of Hakodate's most popular tourist spots. There are many European-style buildings here, and it feels like a small Western townscape is spreading out in Japan. In particular, the view of the sea from Hachimanzaka was very beautiful, and it was a lot of fun walking while remembering the scenes from the movie. Motomachi is lined with historical Western-style buildings, and the streets are full of exotic atmosphere. As it is a place that also appeared in the movie, it was a different kind of nostalgia. =========================================== 🌆 The million-dollar night view from Mt. Hakodate Observatory ========================================= If you come to Hakodate, you can't miss the night view from Mt. Hakodate Observatory! I hurried to get on the cable car so that I could arrive in the evening. However, it was snowing unexpectedly and I could hardly see anything, but as it got darker, the night view spread out beautifully and I was moved. It was a really happy moment to be able to see the million-dollar night view depicted in the movie right in front of my eyes!! Looking at the photo makes me want to eat it again lol ========================================== 🌨️ Breakfast in Hakodate and the beautiful snow scenery of Goryokaku ========================================= The next morning, after enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we headed to Goryokaku. There was snow piled up and Goryokaku Park was very beautiful. I was able to fully experience the charm of Hakodate in winter. After that, we headed to Hakodate Airport and returned to Tokyo, but it was a fulfilling trip surrounded by beautiful scenery and delicious food. I would like to go again!
