[Million dollar night view] Mt. Hakodate Observatory

When visiting Hakodate, you can't miss the night view of Mt. Hakodate. This famous spot is considered one of the world's three best night views, and head to the mountaintop observation deck for the spectacular light-filled view known as the "million-dollar night view." Starting around 5 PM before sunset, prepare your camera and wait for the slowly changing colors of the sky and city lights to appear, a truly special experience.

As the sun sets, the Hakodate cityscape below is bathed in orange, and the unique topography separating the sea and city comes into view. The moment when the lights of the street lamps and buildings sparkle like jewels is breathtaking no matter how many times you see it. Feeling the night breeze, you'll want to capture the view with your bare eyes, not just through a camera.

The observation deck is accessible by ropeway, and the summit is equipped with a cafe and observation deck. Despite being a tourist destination, it's well-maintained, making it a safe and enjoyable place to stay, even at night. On clear days, you can see all the way to the Tsugaru Strait, making it truly worthy of being called "Hakodate's signature night view spot."
