Esashi is located on the Sea of Japan side, taking 1. 5 hours by car from Hakodate. It was the northern terminal of Kitamae trading, the artery of goods in the 19th century. In spring, the town was said to be much busier than Edo, the capital of the last samurai era. Esashi-oiwake is a folk song sung by boatmen. We will listen to the song sung by a professional singer. Let's practice singing the song. You might find the boatmen's feeling. Then I will take you to Kamome-jima Island where the moorings site is. On the way, there is a rock towering above the sea. I will tell you an interesting myth about it. You can't know about the Boshin Civil War without knowing what happened to the Kaiyomaru. It was the Tokugawa shogunate's warship built in Holland 150 years ago. She was stranded off the coast and sank. Hijikata mourned that. The ship-shaped museum has 3000 items recovered from the sunk warship. If you like, I will take you to a local farmer who has about 100 bonsai. Appreciate their artificial wond

The buildings there were renovated to give an old atmosphere. We will see a wealthy merchant's house. • 1:30 pm Move to Kamome-jima Island. The water is so clear that you will impress it. You will find the island protected the port from rough waves. • 2:00 pm Visit Kaiyomaru Museum. The ship-shaped museum also has some fun attractions. You will like them. • 3:30 pm Visit a local farmer for bonsai or a temple with a dragon drawing on the ceiling. • 4:00 pm Drive back to Hakodate. • 5:30 pm Arrive in Hakodate.
