Disappointing.

There were plenty of fish which looked sad swimming around in very little water and also squid fishing but there wasn’t really a good atmosphere and there were too many people. It would have been helpful to have more signs In English

Wonderful place for breakfast/lunch

Enjoy a Japanese breakfast with a delicious donburi: rice with raw fish on the top! I suggest to try Crab and Sea Urchin.

Great bustling market with lots of food

I came with a group of university students. Got to catch a squid, get coffee, and had amazing food. The place was bustling and had a great atmosphere to it. Some one should do a new age video compilation of it. I loved this place.

Hi, I will travel to Hokkaido in early Dec to Mid Dec with my parents, mother in law and my kids (teenage). Do you recommend this place for us to stop for 1 nite before continue to ski resort ? To my understanding this place is where the bullet train (shinkanshen) last stop in Hokkaido, am I correct ? And my parents are 80 and 70, so presumably they need to rest for 1 nite b4 continue our journey to ski resort. Another question, which ski resort is nearest from Hakodate town ? Thank you
