Day Trip to Hakodate in Winter ❄️ Exploring Goryokaku Fort and Motomachi Area 🚄 | Solo Japan Vlog
As part of my graduation trip to Japan earlier this year, I had to make my way from Sapporo to Tokyo. Instead of flying, I decided to take the scenic train route, which gave me the chance to spend a day exploring the charming port city of Hakodate. 🚄🌊
With limited time, I made sure to visit some of the city’s highlights, including Goryokaku Fort and the Motomachi area. I even got caught in a snowstorm lol ❄️✨ While this trip is technically split over two days because I arrived in Hakodate quite late, you can easily fit it into one full day by visiting Hakodate Morning Market before heading off to Goryokaku Tower.
Where I stayed: Premier Hotel Cabin Hakodate 🏨
This cozy hotel is just a 1-minute walk from JR Hakodate Station, the Hakodate Morning Market, and a super convenient tram stop—perfect for getting around! 🚋
