Mt. Hakodate Observatory
The "Heart Legend" for Love to Bloom Amidst the Beautiful Night View from the Summit?
When it comes to iconic night views in Japan, Mt. Hakodate is a must-mention. The twinkling lights of the city, nestled between the sea, as seen from the 334-meter summit, are breathtakingly beautiful, like a jewelry box. From summer to autumn, during the squid fishing season, the lights of the fishing boats add a magical sparkle to the jet-black sea, making the scene even more enchanting. Furthermore, are you aware of the "Hakodate Night View Heart Legend"? It's said that if you find the hidden "heart" within the night view and make a wish, your love will come true. Why not enjoy the panoramic night view from the summit and search for the "heart" together with someone special?
