#2月好地方2025 Why not try sea urchin uni when you come to Hakodate? It’s like coming to Hokkaido and not eating fresh food, you would be really letting yourself down! On my first day in Hakodate, I found a uni specialty store "うにむらかみ Hakodate Ekimae Store" without hesitation and had a big feast. I didn't expect the restaurant to be so busy that I had to wait for an hour for a table! We were so hungry that we ordered rice bowls as soon as we sat down. The highest grade purple sea urchin, sea urchin and beef combo, sea urchin tamagoyaki, and sea urchin chawanmushi. The whole table was filled with sea urchin. It was so satisfying! The purple sea urchin is advertised as additive-free, raw food grade, and of the highest grade. It has a delicate taste without any fishy smell. It does not have a pungent sea taste, but a dense and delicate aftertaste, and is as soft and sweet as the ocean. This is definitely the most delicious sea urchin I have ever eaten! The combination of Wagyu and sea urchin satisfies two taste buds at once, but the grade of the sea urchin is not as delicate as that of the purple sea urchin, but it is also full of sea flavor. It seems that any food served with sea urchin will instantly become more delicious! Tamagoyaki and chawanmushi are both extremely sweet and fresh. Although this meal has a high cholesterol level, the satisfaction you get from it is also off the charts. It’s worth it!

Hakodate Morning Market is a sightseeing morning market favored by local residents of Hokkaido. The scope is very wide. There are so many to choose from nearby Choose a more homely Japanese restaurant with 2 floors and a courteous seat!

One of a must place when you come to Hakodate. We enjoyed our breakfast here. #hakodate #hokkaido #2015 #friendstrip #japan

#OverseasTravel #JapanTravel Hakodate Morning Market located in 🇯🇵 Hakodate is one of the most famous morning markets in Japan. Every morning ☀️, there will be many locals and tourists over, here will sell a lot of fresh seafood 🦀🦞, such as king crab seaweed, etc., as well as sashimi 🐙, seafood, dry goods, fruits and vegetables 🍇, etc. It is recommended to come early ⚡️, because the shops here will be closed after buying, after noon it may become deserted! Hakodate Morning Market 📍 9-15 どんぶり Yokocho Market, Hakodate, Hokkaido

[Hokkaido Hakodate] It’s common sense to go to Hakodate Morning Market for breakfast! The goal for this day was very clear, which was to take my dad to eat king crab! After comparing prices, the one at the entrance was the most affordable. The live king crab we ordered was about 14,000 yen (~HKD980) But it was not in season after all, and the quality was much worse than the last time I ate it in winter. It was thinner and the flavor was much less delicious than in winter. No wonder some store owners in the market asked us to buy frozen king crab legs, which might be fatter. On the contrary, Hokkaido scallops are super sweet! Each scallop is about 500 yen, and you can choose to eat it as sashimi or grilled. Both cooking methods can highlight the umami flavor of the scallops, making it more impressive! PS The prices at Hakodate Morning Market are also cheaper than those at Sapporo Nijo Market, so if you want to eat crabs, you can buy them here. －－－ #Overseas Travel #Japan Travel

#OverseasTravel #JapanTravel #Hokkaido #JapaneseFood #HokkaidoFood When you go to Hokkaido🇯🇵, how can you not eat crab🦀️ One of this trip is to go to Hakodate Morning Market to eat king crab for breakfast😍 There are many shops selling king crab in the morning market, so you must compare prices💴, and finally found the nearest Hokkaido at the door the most affordable☺️ It's full of live crabs for customers to choose! This live king crab is about HK$1000, really big, enough for 4 people to eat😵 The crab meat is also very fresh and sweet 👍🏻 plump and meaty! In addition to king crab, I also ordered 4 sashimi 🌊, two for sashimi, two grilled 🔥! Both ways of eating have surprises! Hokkaido House @ Hokkaido Hakodate 📍 9-15 どんぶり Yokocho Market, Hakodate, Hokkaido 💰Price: King crab ~ ¥14,000 Sashimi ¥500/piece

One of the places you must visit on your trip to Hakodate is the "Hakodate Morning Market"! Located just a short walk from Hakodate Station, this lively market is lined with shops where you can buy seafood, fruit, and souvenirs. There are also many restaurants that tourists will love, where you can enjoy delicious seafood! This time we visited two restaurants! The first restaurant is a sushi shop called "Sushi no Sensho", where you can enjoy high-quality sushi at the counter! The second restaurant is "Asaichi Shokudo Nibankan", where you can enjoy a seafood bowl topped with lots of seafood such as salmon, salmon roe, shrimp, tuna, scallops, and crab for only 500 yen! It's great value for money and I was very satisfied! #HokkaidoTrip #RetroSpot #ExoticAtmosphere #RecommendedForDates #PhotogenicSpot

I went on a trip to Hakodate, Hokkaido using Go To Travel! It was mid-October, but it was very warm and sunny, and I could go without a jacket😊💓 On the first day, I got on the tram to get the squid bowl🦑 I was looking for!!! When I poured soy sauce on it, it moved, and when I put it in my mouth, it was crunchy. 🤤 It was very delicious! #foodtrip #summertrip #greatview #coupletrip #Hakodate #Hokkaido

#HakodateMorningMarket Hakodate Morning Market is a place where you can buy and eat freshly caught foods, and is one of the most popular tourist spots in Hakodate, with an average of 3,000 visitors per day. I went there too, and the shop staff were incredibly kind, and served me squid sashimi as a service! Hakodate is also a squid producing area, and I knew it was delicious, but freshly caught squid was on another level, and I felt incredibly happy in the morning. There are over 250 shops registered with the Morning Market Association, and with so many shops, it's a wonderful place that's hard to choose in a good way! #GourmetTrip

As the name would suggest it is only open in the morning. Amazing seafood, best seafood meal we had in town.

Hakodate City is the most representative seafood market in Hokkaido. Every morning, it is the most lively place in Hakodate. In addition to the seafood that you have just picked up, you can taste the freshest seafood. Moreover, if you go to the city, there will always be shop owners. Please try to eat long-legged crab feet. They are all free~~ Don't miss the passing road~ Why is the fishing in Hakodate famous for other fishing ports? I heard that it is because Hakodate is a meeting place for the cold current, the warm current of the horse, and the three currents of the pro-tidal current. It is also a gathering place for the Beiyang fishery, and the catch is naturally rich. Restaurants in the city are generally open until 3 pm, so the students who want to eat are best to come in the morning or at noon.

#5月好去地方2025 Address: 22-5 Nakajima-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido (about 10 minutes by car from JR Hakodate Station) Atmosphere/Facilities: The exterior is low-key, just like a normal Japanese grocery store, but there are always people queuing at the door. The store is not large, and it focuses on takeout. The sales area is clean and tidy, and the barbecue area smells like charcoal. The staff is quick and enthusiastic, creating a warm feeling of a local store. Price per person: About 500 to 1,000 yen, depending on how many skewers of chicken you order. Features: ✔ The legendary "Yakitori" is actually pork skewers! ✔ Must-try "Salt pork skewers", full of charcoal grilled aroma, tender meat ✔ Affordable prices, open until late at night, a favorite shop for locals for late-night snacks ✔ The store is simple, but it has been reported many times by Japanese media and is a representative of local cuisine Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) If you ask me what food in Hakodate, Hokkaido, is not often mentioned by tourists but deeply rooted in people's hearts, I will say without hesitation: "Hasegawa Shoten's やきり (grilled bird)!" But don't be fooled by the literal meaning, the "grilled bird" here is actually mostly pork skewers! This misplaced naming is part of Hokkaido's local culture, and it also adds a layer of fun and mystery to this store. Hasegawa Shoten was originally a long-established local canteen, and later became famous for barbecue. The first time I went there, it was 7 o'clock in the evening, and I saw people queuing from a distance. At that time, I thought it was a newly opened dessert shop. When I got closer, I found that it was actually local residents who came to buy skewers. Many people even ate while walking after getting the bag. The aroma and heat spread with the winter night air, making people swallow their saliva instantly. I ordered the most popular "Salt Pork Skewers" and a classic "Soy-Grilled Chicken Skewers". When you bite it, the pork is slightly charred on the outside, but the meat juice is still retained inside. The combination of charcoal aroma and salt is simply perfect. The soy-Grilled taste is a mixture of salty and sweet, which goes well with wine. What's more exaggerated is that a skewer starts at only 100 yen, and eating five skewers is only the price of a cup of Starbucks. The price is affordable, but the taste makes me miss it to this day. What impressed me most was not only that the food was delicious, but that this store seemed to be like a soul corner guarding the city's late-night snack culture. You can see office workers swiping their phones while waiting, and you can also see mothers buying several skewers to take home for their children to eat, and old men chewing the charcoal grilled taste while talking about the past. These scenes make people feel that "this is the daily life in Hokkaido" more than any high-end restaurant. If you come to Hakodate and only eat seafood bowls or desserts, it's a pity. You must set aside an evening to walk or take a car to Hasegawa Shoten to experience this "inconspicuous but amazing" real local delicacy. Remember, it will be sold out if you come too late, so it is recommended to come in the evening for the safest time. The conclusion is: this is not just a midnight snack, it is a bite of authentic Hokkaido memory. If you love charcoal grilled skewers and like to discover hidden snacks on the road, Hasegawa Shoten will definitely make you a regular customer and linger in your dreams. #Hokkaido #Hakodate #Hasegawa Shoten #Hakodate JR #Hokkaido Must Eat #Hakodate Food #Hakodate Must Eat #BBQ Skewers

The most memorable thing about my trip to Hakodate, Japan, was the seafood feast on a snowy night at the Hakodate Asahi Izakaya. It was snowing heavily that night, filled with thick fog, the whole of Hakodate was shrouded in a hazy white color, and the warmth and liveliness of the izakaya made me feel the most sincere enthusiasm of the city. A snowy night in Hakodate At dusk on the day we arrived in Hakodate, large snowflakes were flying in the sky. Snowflakes were flying like winter elves dancing in the air. The streets of Hakodate are covered in thick snow and appear extraordinarily serene and peaceful. However, this tranquility did not last long. As the night fell, the fog quietly rose, and the whole city was surrounded by a haze. Walking on the streets of Hakodate, visibility is low, with distant buildings and street lights looming in the mist, as if you are in a dream world. Despite the cold weather, there is a unique tranquility and beauty in the air that makes people slow down and immerse themselves in this winter tranquility. Second, Asahi Izakaya: a warm haven In such weather, the most exciting thing is the warmth and liveliness of the izakaya. The izakayas in Hakodate Asahi are one of the most smoky places in the city. Moving through the snow-covered streets, I finally found the legendary izakaya. Traditional warm curtains hang at the door of the shop, and through the glass windows you can see the warm lights and lively scene inside. Pushing the door open, a hot air rushed to my face, immediately dispelling the chill in my body. The interior of the izakaya is decorated in an antique manner, with wooden tables and chairs and warm yellow lighting creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The store was already full of customers, everyone gathered around the table, talking and laughing, enjoying the food and wine. Third, seafood feast: Hakodate on the tip of the tongue Hakodate’s seafood is the city’s most proud delicacy. Almost every dish on the izakaya’s menu is related to seafood, which are freshly sourced that day from the morning market to guarantee fresh and delicious ingredients. Japanese hairy crab One of the signature dishes of izakaya is Japanese hairy crab. This crab is huge in size and has tender and juicy meat. It is one of the representatives of Hakodate seafood. The hairy crabs are carefully cooked and served on exquisite plates, the freshness of the crab meat complementing the color of the crab shells. With a light bite, the freshness of the crab meat immediately explodes on the tip of the tongue. Adding a little soy sauce and ginger strips takes this deliciousness to a new level. Seaweed rice In addition to hairy crab, seaweed rice is one of the specialties of izakayas. Seaweed is one of the specialties of Hakodate. The seaweed here is big and full, delicate and delicious. The seaweed rice spreads fresh seaweed on top of the hot rice, and you can feel the deliciousness of the seaweed perfectly blended with the softness of the rice with every bite. Add some simple seasonings, like soy sauce and spring onions, for a more unique twist.

#cityplaybook Hakodate might just be the perfect city for a one-day adventure. From sunrise seafood to star-shaped forts and unforgettable night views, there’s a lot you can pack into 24 hours—and somehow still feel relaxed while doing it. I kicked off the day with breakfast at Hakodate Morning Market, where super-fresh seafood bowls and grilled goodies line the stalls. Eating scallops before 9am? Highly recommend. Next up, a peaceful stroll around Goryokaku, a star-shaped fortress surrounded by a moat and cherry trees. It’s especially stunning in spring, but the calm vibes are year-round. For lunch, I couldn’t skip Lucky Pierrot—Hakodate’s beloved burger joint. It’s quirky, it’s local, and it’s totally delicious (get the Chinese chicken burger!). In the afternoon, I made my way to Cape Tachimachi, a quiet cliffside spot with epic ocean views. Fewer crowds, more fresh air. And to wrap things up? The legendary Hakodate night view from Mt. Hakodate. Sparkling city lights + ocean backdrop = the perfect ending to a packed (but perfect) day. Why I recommend Hakodate: ・You can experience nature, culture, and crazy-good food—all in one easy-to-navigate city ・It’s perfect for short trips with big rewards 📍Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan #Hakodate #Hokkaido #24HourChallenge #MorningMarket #LuckyPierrot #Goryokaku #HakodateViews #CapeTachimachi #NightscapeJapan #CityGuide

The fruit stand at Hakodate Station is super fresh, delicious, and cheap.

Who can not love such a beautiful place like Hokkaido! Hokkaido is a dream paradise for winter travel, with not only magnificent snow scenery but also healing penguin walks! The penguins at Asahikawa Zoo are walking unsteadily in the snow. They are so cute that people can't stop taking pictures of them. Sapporo Snow Festival, hot springs and delicious food are all great. It is definitely a place worth visiting again and again! ! ! 📍Asahikawa - Asahikawa Zoo (Japan's northernmost zoo, polar bear shallow water, penguin walk 09:30-17:00 ¥1000) (11:00am & 14:30pm) 📍Otaru -Snow Lantern Trail -Otaru Canal - Get off at "Asari" on the Otaru Road and you can see the sea in the snow - Night view of Tenguyama (overlooking the sunset of Otaru, one of the three major night views) -Tenguyama Ski Resort (¥500) -Tengu Mountain Cable Car (¥1200 9:30-21:00) 📍Hakodate - The most beautiful night view (you can take the cable car) -Christmas Carnival -Tropical Botanical Garden (Monkey Hot Spring 09:30-18:00 ¥300) -Donburi Yokocho Market Morning Market (Various seafood 05:00-14:00) (Nibankan is cheaper than Yokocho, but the ingredients may be less) -Motomachi Illuminations -Hachimanzaka (the most beautiful street in Hokkaido) - Christmas lights + fireworks! (Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse, Hakodate City) Lights up every day at 18:00

When you arrive in Hakodate, Hokkaido, you must get up early to visit the market and also find a restaurant run by a couple to have breakfast (Ajino Ichiban): the ingredients in this restaurant are fresh, the prices are very reasonable, the menu also has Chinese, and the sea urchin is especially recommended! In addition, you can bring souvenirs from the morning market back to Taiwan (except live seafood). I also tried the cantaloupe from Hokkaido (about 500-600 yen per piece), which was really delicious. If there are enough people (more than 3 or 4 people), you can catch a king crab to eat (boiled or grilled). Seafood should be eaten fresh (be careful not to buy oily crabs). #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Hokkaido is a favorite destination for Taiwanese travelers, often explored through five-day tours that cover a lot of ground but lack depth. While self-driving offers flexibility, it comes with certain risks. Have you ever considered spending all five days in a single city, slowly and quietly experiencing the daily life of Hokkaido like a local? Hakodate, located in southern Hokkaido, is a place worth savoring! Hakodate is a small yet charming port city with a strong international flair.
