Lovely morning in Hakodate

We had a really nice and well organized tour in Hakodate with our lovely guide, Keiko. It was raining quite a bit but the beautiful sights of cherry trees in full bloom was still beautiful to see. Hakodate is where east met west in well worth a visit. Interesting architecture and warm and friendly people made the tour very special.
Nice history lesson

Our guide took us to Goryeski park and the tour. We got a really good overview of the city from the tower, and a great history of the area and the fort/magistrates offices. We then went to the Jolly jellyfish for lunch, and finally to the historic warehouse shopping area. Good tour.

Our guide Akira was excellent. He took us to many places which were very enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed travelling everywhere on the heritage trams.
Great experience
