The architecture and carvings inside Toshogu Shrine are worth taking your time to appreciate. The level of detail and the value of the cultural treasures make the admission fee totally worth it.

Marine World Uminonakamichi
Marine World Uminonakamichi, opened in 1989, is an aquarium that exhibits about 350 species and 30,000 organisms under the theme of "Kyushu's Sea”.
There are adorable dolphin and sea lion shows, plus you can see penguins and tons of other sea creatures. The exhibits are really well-designed. Kids had a blast, and even adults found it relaxing and fun!

Goryokaku Park
Goryokaku, a Western-style fortress, was built in 1866 and served as the political capital of Hokkaido until the new Meiji government took over. It later became a popular tourist attraction after it was opened to the public as "Goryokaku Park" in 1914 and was designated as a national special historic site.
You can not only admire the impressive historic ruins and beautiful natural scenery, but also learn a lot about important events from Japan's late Edo period.

Tachimachi Cape
Tachimachi Cape, jutting out to the southeast of Mount Hakodate and facing the Tsugaru Strait, features a dramatic landscape with a 30-meter-high sheer cliff, surrounded by the sea. This scenic spot offers stunning views, including the opposite Shimokita Peninsula on clear days, and a panoramic vista of Hakodate's cityscape.
There are lots of plants and birds here, making it a great spot for birdwatching and enjoying nature.
