Good to know

  1. Punctuality and Itinerary: Japanese drivers value punctuality, so please wait at the designated location 5-10 minutes before the scheduled pick-up time. Each attraction on the itinerary is worth exploring in depth. It is recommended that you allow 1-1.5 hours for Goryokaku Park and 1-1.5 hours for the Tropical Botanical Garden. If the itinerary is delayed due to your personal reasons, there will be an additional charge (overtime fee is 8600 yen/hour for a 5-seater car and over 11600 yen/hour for a 10-seater car).
  2. Attractions Information: Goryokaku Park is open all year round, but access may be restricted during some special events. It is recommended that you check the official website for confirmation before departure. The Tropical Botanical Garden is open from 9:30 to 16:30. Winter monkeys bathing in hot springs is a major feature, but please note that opening hours may be adjusted due to weather and other factors.
  3. Travel Regulations: In Japan, vehicles drive on the left side of the road, so be sure to pay attention to the direction of oncoming vehicles when crossing the road. Please be quiet in public places, including in the car, and respect local cultural customs. Hakodate pays attention to environmental hygiene, and garbage must be sorted and disposed of. You can temporarily store the garbage and dispose of it when you encounter a trash can or convenience store.
  4. Consumption and Convenience: No tipping is required for consumption in Japan, and most merchants support UnionPay card payments, which is convenient and fast. During the tour, especially around Goryokaku Park and in the Tropical Botanical Garden, you can travel light, and it is recommended that you carry valuables with you. If you have a lot of items, some shops or service centers around the attractions offer simple storage services.
  5. Other Tips: Hakodate is relatively cold in winter (December-February), but the amount of snowfall is relatively less than in other areas of Hokkaido. The average temperature in winter is between -2.4°C and -0.1°C. Hakodate has a rich and diverse cuisine, but those with sensitive stomachs should be careful when eating raw and cold foods such as sashimi and cold noodles. If you encounter bad weather or other force majeure factors, you can follow the driver's advice to adjust the itinerary to ensure your safety. Before traveling, it is recommended that you purchase overseas personal accident insurance to add a layer of protection to your trip.
