The Tour was at a comfortable pace. Our tour guide, Leo, shared about the interesting facts and history of each places, tips to take night scenery shot without crowd and even provide water due to long bus ride. Overall, it was a great itinerary to see the highlights of Hakodate and south western part of Hokkaido.

We enjoyed the 2 Days 1 Night Tour with all the highlights of Lake Toya, Hakodate and Hell Valley. This is something that is worth taking. The drive was long, it was rainy for a bit, but the views are amazing.

The "Free Hong Kong Mail" for the voucher was delivered by SF Express. I placed the order today (Monday) and received it the next day (Tuesday), which is extremely efficient.
The last time I visited Hokkaido via Sapporo Airport, I deliberately skipped Hakodate because taking the Hokkaido Shinkansen from Shin-Aomori Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, then transferring to the JR Hakodate Main Line to Hakodate Station, only takes about 1.5 hours. This is much more convenient than the over 3.5-hour journey from Sapporo to Hakodate.
For a relaxed trip for middle-aged travelers, the route Sendai - Aomori - Hakodate - Hachinohe - Sendai, using a JR Pass to reserve seats for free at the designated seat ticket machines, allows you to enjoy leisurely times and various delicious foods. It's very cost-effective and worthwhile.

Calculate first if the rail pass is worth it before buying. Traveling from Hokkaido to tokyo with several stops is more than the pass cost.

I'm satisfied with the service, but one minor disappointment is that purchasing tickets on-site is much cheaper. Usually, there's an assumption that advance booking is more affordable, so the significant price difference is a bit of a letdown—it's about 1.5 times more expensive.

This spot was popular with locals and tourists. Although the line was long, it only took around 15 mins to go to the tower. Efficient and truly enjoy the view from the tower.

Quick facts about Hakodate
General info
What to know before visiting Hakodate
What to do in Hakodate year-round
Hakodate draws visitors for its Observation decks, followed by Tours and Cultural experiences, and the city's calendar shapes how you experience each. Klook booking data shows observation-deck visits concentrate in cooler, clearer months while Tours pick up outside the quiet late-summer lull. The rhythm of the year runs from very quiet late-summer months to a strong finish in December. For travellers deciding when to go, pick between quieter, budget-friendly months or lively, peak-season atmosphere — both are well represented in Klook bookings and worth planning around.
Best months to visit and price trends
Hakodate's busiest month is December, while late summer is distinctly quieter: Klook booking data marks December as a peak and August as the quietest. Prices swing across the year; the price series shows a deep low in August and a big spike in October, so crowd levels and prices don't always move together — December is busy but not the priciest, whereas October is unusually costly despite quieter demand. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for August or July; for festive atmosphere choose December.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | PHP 4,400 |
| February | Busier than usual | PHP 5,471 |
| March | About average | PHP 4,222 |
| April | About average | PHP 3,984 |
| May | Busier than usual | PHP 476 |
| June | About average | PHP 6,363 |
| July | About average | PHP 476 |
| August | Very quiet | PHP 357 |
| September | Very quiet | PHP 4,579 |
| October | Quieter than usual | PHP 11,834 |
| November | Busier than usual | PHP 3,330 |
| December | Peak demand | PHP 3,687 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines lock in experiences about 5 days ahead, while the earliest planners book roughly three weeks out; treat Hakodate as a short-planning destination but expect to book earlier for December and other busy periods. Klook booking data shows that flexibility works well outside peak months, but in December and the pricier windows it's wise to secure top time slots ahead. Use Klook to compare available times and typical prices, make tentative bookings when your dates are set, and adjust as needed — it keeps options open and helps you travel with confidence.
