Sightseeing, Gourmet, Shopping! The Best of Hakodate

Hakodate Downtown

Hakodate is the most representative city of the Donan Region. Since opening in 1859, it has developed as Japan's first international trade port. Because it was directly influenced by European culture, it is speckled with buildings that retain the image of those old-fashioned roots. It is also famous for its stunning night view from the top of Mount Hakodate and the delicious gourmet seafood of the Tsugaru Strait.

Tasting Umaibo – Japan’s Favorite Junk Food Snack!

Sapporo / Chitose

Practically every culture has its tempting snack foods, and Japan is no exception! Umaibo – literally, “tasty stick” – are particularly popular in the country. Made of puffed corn and coming in unique flavors, they have a suggested retail price of 10 yen (less than a dime) – easily affordable by and appealing to kids. Many Japanese likely have warm memories of when they were children and would go to a neighborhood dagashiya (candy shop) and grab either a mentai aji (walleye Pollack roe flavor) or a corn potage flavor and gobble it up on the spot!
