After completing the order, I realized the voucher stated that a printed copy was required for redemption. However, upon arrival, I was able to show the voucher on my phone to the ticket agent at the ticket booth. They wrote down the number from my phone, and I was able to redeem the tickets. When redeeming the tickets, you still need to wait in line with those purchasing tickets. Even though it was cherry blossom season, we entered two hours before closing, so there were noticeably fewer people, and we didn't have to wait. It's definitely worth going up to see during cherry blossom season; it's absolutely beautiful.
When you come to Hakodate, you absolutely must visit Goryokaku Tower to witness the charm of that star-shaped fortress firsthand! We bought our tickets at the venue, and the price was slightly cheaper than pre-purchasing. However, be aware that redeeming digital codes and buying tickets on-site are done in the same line; there's no separate queue. Fortunately, it wasn't too crowded that day, and we only waited about 15 minutes to go up the tower, which was acceptable. Unfortunately, we weren't so lucky with the weather. It was overcast that day, so the scenery from the tower looked a bit gray, and the photos weren't as stunning as we'd imagined. But honestly, just seeing the star-shaped outline of Goryokaku is still magnificent. If you happen to visit on a clear, sunny day, this is definitely a must-see photo spot in Hakodate! Friendly reminder: You might want to check the weather forecast before you go and choose a day with good weather to ensure it's worth the ticket price!
It's very convenient to buy and use immediately. There's no need to print paper tickets; you can redeem your ticket by showing the QR code on the PDF and enter right away! Although it wasn't the pink Goryokaku of cherry blossom season, seeing the green star shape from the top of the tower was still very exciting.
Goryokaku Tower is definitely worth going up! You can see the beautiful moat layout and the stunning surrounding scenery! Buying tickets in advance is also very convenient!
Booking tickets in advance through Klook is incredibly convenient. You can quickly exchange your online reservation voucher for tickets at the counter and head up the tower. The star-shaped pattern viewed from the tower is truly spectacular, and I believe each season offers a unique experience and scenery.
super convenient - I just bought using Klook just before heading up the tower. the vouchers were sent over immediately and the exchanging process for the actual tickets was so fuss-free
The Goryokaku tower was definitely worth the visit. Nevertheless, buying the ticket over klook or physically on site had no differences. You will still be required to queue with others who are buying the ticket physically to exchange the coupon for a physical ticket.
What a fantastic thing to do while in Hakodate! Amazing views and a fun experience! Definitely recommended!
