Question 2

Is Hakodate walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Motomachi’s slopes, the Bay Area warehouses, and the Morning Market sit close together and are pleasant to walk. Goryokaku and Yunokawa Onsen are farther out.

Ride the Hakodate City Tram Lines 2 and 5 to Goryokaku-kōen-mae and to Yunokawa, and take the bus to the Mount Hakodate summit or walk to the ropeway from Jūjigai. For comfort or day trips like Onuma Park, consider a private tour in Hakodate that includes private transportation.
