2-Day Tour of Scenic Views and Food in Hakodate 🌊🍣
2-Day Hakodate Travel Plan 🌊✨
So you don't miss out! I'll list my regrets first.
From the beginning! I should have done this~😂😂 What I regret❗️
1: There were so many people waiting for taxis while getting in and out of the taxis!
I should have done this! It was a great time sightseeing! It's better to make the most of your time than to endure the exhaustion of walking!⁉️
2: After the ropeway tour, I checked the bus timetable on my way back to Hakodate Station and saw that there were only one or two buses per hour! If I'd checked the time properly, I wouldn't have wasted time waiting!
3: Nemuro Hanamaru, a conveyor belt sushi restaurant where you can eat incredibly fresh sushi❤️ I wanted to go there! I lined up as soon as it opened, but it was so popular that I still had to wait for a seat! It might be easier to go to popular restaurants before they open!
