The wind was really strong, and if you go in winter, it’s insanely cold 😂

Utatsuyama Park
A park spread across Mt. Utatsu, with sweeping views over central Kanazawa. Also known as a famous flower-viewing spot, it is especially worth visiting for the Japanese irises and hydrangeas that bloom from early June to mid-July. The upper section is arranged as "Terraced-Field Japanese Irises," the middle section as "Stream and Japanese Irises," and the lower section as "Pond and Japanese Irises," where Approx. 20,000 Japanese iris plants of 58 varieties and 2,900 hydrangea bushes bloom in abundance.
The view of Kanazawa from here is fantastic. It’s really open and spacious.
It feels like more of a local spot, so it wasn’t crowded and had a very მშვიდ quiet atmosphere. It’s even more charming at night. -
HAKOVIVA
HAKOVIVA is a commercial complex that opened in front of JR Hakodate Station in 2019. The complex's centerpiece is Hakodate Ekimae Yokocho, a sports gym, convenience stores, restaurants, and more. The area is lined with numerous restaurants, mainly local stores, and is frequented by both Hakodate residents and tourists.
It’s right next to Hakodate Station, so the location is super convenient and you’ll almost definitely pass by it.
There are ramen, seafood, desserts, and quite a good variety overall, so you don’t have to worry about what to eat. -

Hokkaido Shiki-Saikan JR Hakodate Store
Located inside JR Hakodate Station, Hokkaido Shiki-Saikan offers more than 1,000 items, including popular Hakodate and Hokkaido sweets. Open from early in the morning, the store is crowded with people stopping by before boarding the train.
It’s inside Hakodate Station, and they have pretty much all of Hokkaido’s famous souvenirs.
You can find things like Shiroi Koibito and Rokkatei there. -
