Beautiful Memories "Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan" Episode 1

2018 was a wonderful time. That year, I went to many places and traveled to the country she had always longed for - Japan, with the her who used to be. The first stop is Hokkaido. Winter in Hokkaido is the most charming, with the snowy land covered in white snowflakes. This is also the best time to soak in hot springs ♨️ while enjoying Hokkaido milk ice cream 🍦. Nothing is more enjoyable than this. "Hakodate" is the southernmost city in Hokkaido. If you take the "Shinkansen" to Hokkaido, the first stop is Hakodate. Hakodate has an excellent harbor, a superior geographical location, and a long history. During the "Edo period" (the background of the Tokugawa family's story), it was already an important city. The most representative building in Hakodate is the "Goryokaku" that we are going to introduce now. "The Five Ridges Fortress" was built in 1864 and is a Western-style defensive fortress castle 🏯. The great war between the Tokugawa shogunate and the Meiji Emperor took place here (you can refer to the story of "Rurouni Kenshin"). After more than 100 years of historical baptism, the castle still retains its original appearance. As long as you climb the "Five Ridges Fortress Tower", the entire castle is in sight, and there are also many related historical materials on the tower, which introduce the history of "The Five Ridges Fortress" in detail. Address: 44 Goryokaku-cho, Hakodate-shi Transportation: Walk from JR Goringu Station (self-driving recommended) Admission: Wulingyuan Guo Park is free.
