The view from Mt Hakodate would have been truly magnificent, if not for then awful weather I experienced on my one evening in Hakodate. Even so, it was worth braving the wind and rain to see it. More

Beautiful but cold - take a jacket. Plus once your up there you'll want to stay for sunset so time it so your not waiting too long. Very busy when we were there ... but it is Japan More

The view from the top was amazing however there needs to be more work done in terms of information available to tourists about the region. It's all good standing and looking at the view but would be even better if there was some info regarding historical sights, points of interest and some Hakodate history to read whilst admiring the view.

Famous and a bit touristy, but well worth the time. You kind of feel a camaraderie with the other folks making the trip at night especially if the weather is cold. More

We were there during the last autumn. This is one of the best night scenery that i ever seen in the world. The view does provide a spectacular view for the whole Hakodate harbor which has got a long island that split it to two sides. At the peak, the organizer had built different height of platform for different view... More
