What other travelers are saying about Mount Hakodate (Hakodate Ropeway)
A famous night view of Japan.
The view was spectacular but very crowded.
We had to go there 2 hours prior to sunset.
Even so, we still couldn't find a good viewing spot.
After waiting for the sun set for 2 hours, the view we got was above the other shoulder or head.
When we traveled back down it was also chaotic.
The view on the main deck is excellent!!! Thankfully was free of tourist! However, while restaurant view was beautiful and food was sumptuous, it was a bit pricy. However, crowd-less experience and tasty food made up for experience, so I’m giving 5 stars!!!
Driving up after 10pm (takes around 10-15min drive up the hill). The night view is amazing and the best in Hokkaido!
Visited in June and there is strong and cold wind! 17 degree!
Great view ruined by hoardes of Chinese tourists in tour groups who are, objectively, the rudest people on the planet. They camp-out, 3-4 people deep, to secure the best vantage points and will not let anyone through to take a quick photo. Just download some photos from the internet and save yourself the expense and frustration. If you are less than 180cm (6ft) you will struggle to get your camera above all the hordes. Seriously. Wonderful location ruined by greed of the operators, ill-mannered Chinese tour groups seeking land rights and serious overcrowding.
On top of Mount Hakodate where it was given a 3 Michelin star for tourist views. As a 300 meters mountain, it is tall enough to provide sweeping panoramic view of the city of Hakodate. A good experience.
