Goryokaku Tower

Standing tall with its clean white silhouette, Goryokaku Tower offers a unique vantage point to admire Hakodate’s famous star-shaped fort. From its observation deck, visitors can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the fortress and surrounding scenery, which change beautifully with the seasons—from cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant autumn leaves and snowy winter landscapes. The tower also features a display area that shares the rich history of Goryokaku and the heroes of the late Edo period, making it a perfect spot to appreciate both nature and history in one experience.
