Goryokaku Tower
Hakodate's landmark tower with a view of historic Goryokaku
Goryokaku Tower is a 107-meter-high tower located at the entrance to Goryokaku Park. From the second floor of the observation deck, located 90 meters above ground level, visitors can look down on the star-shaped fortress that is Goryokaku's distinctive feature. Visitors can enjoy beautiful scenery in each of the four seasons: spring tinged pink with cherry blossoms, fresh greenery in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and winter decorated with snow and illumination. Inside the tower, the history of Goryokaku is exhibited in an easy-to-understand manner. There is also a café, a store, and a restaurant where visitors can purchase souvenirs.
