STAMP SPOT!
Goryokaku Tower
Goryokaku Tower is one of Hakodate's most famous landmarks. The 90m high observation deck offers a view of the entire star-shape compound, and information panels walk you through Goryokaku Tower's role during the fall of the Shogunate, a story unlike almost any other in the world. In episode 8 of season 2, when Aqours leaves the Hakodate Arena, Goryokaku Tower is the first place they visit, and we see the members' reactions, such as Yo's fascination with the bronze statue of Hijikata Toshizo.
