Mt. Hakodate Observatory
A three-Michelin star night view will make your heart flutter!
Mt. Hakodate is the symbol of Hakodate and is a spectacular spot for viewing beautiful night views and sunsets. Visitors can reach the observatory at the top of the mountain by ropeway or bus. From the observatory at the top of the mountain, visitors can enjoy a wonderful view of Hakodate Bay and the city surrounded by the Tsugaru Straits. The night view is especially beautiful, being one of the three best night views in the world, with the lights of the city shining like jewels. The view changes with the seasons and time of day, creating a romantic atmosphere. Dining at a restaurant while viewing the night view is also recommended.
