Absolutely stunning place with a great view of Hakodate city itself, the Tsugaru Straits in front of it and Cape Tachimachi to the right, plus due to it's inaccessability, it is a very quiet place as well- no kids running when I was there on a weekend afternoon. Also a great place to start from if you're planning to hike up to Mt Hakodate instead of taking the ropeway, though it can be far, around 6km-ish if I recall correctly. Requires a fair amount of walking from the nearest tram stop though, with a bit of a uphill walk through a cemetery as well so it is recommended to wear a comfortable pair of shoes if you're planning on walking here/ hiking from here to the top of Mt Hakodate.

A beautiful spot off the beaten path. It offers some breathtaking views of the sea and the panorama of the city from a different angle. The sunset can’t be viewed from this vantage point but it has its own charm as the soft colours of twilight come on with the setting sun. The quiet scenery and the cries of the gills are quite evocative. A good spot for nature photography buffs and for folks who love to take dramatic selfies. The steep cliffs and the cold winds make this a chilly spot so do bundle up before taking the walk along the paths!

No tickets needed. From the tram station, it is about 20-30min walk. Last part before reaching the Cape Tachachi is an up hill walk, passing some cemetery. Once you pass the slope, you will come across the breath taking view of the Cape Tachimachi ! The sea and cape and the cliff and the far view sea of the Hakodate city , and the wind and the sights and mountain - Mt Hakodate really breath taking. This place is worth the walk. The view is something that you will remember..

Fascinating walk to get there from the nearest tram stop. We walked down from Mount Hakodate then back through he cemetery. The walk was great but the point itself a bit too controlled (concrete walkways and fences) for me. Nice little snack bar with a good selection of food and drinks and a friendly owner. There is ample parking space available too. There's quite some Japanese history attached to this place, there are informative boards available to read.

Great spot to get some fresh air and take pictures. However, the walk there isn’t very pretty. You walk a road shared by vehicles. When we visited, the road was closes to traffic, but I suppose it can get busy with tourist buses during the busy seasons. The road also traverses a cemetery, with a couple of famous people. But again, I feel it’s not very nice for people visiting their relatives graves to have tourist buses so close to the graves.

I didn't see Cape Tachimachi in many Hakodate itineraries - but if you have time, it's definitely worth checking out! The walk to the cape from the station is also quite nice - great views of the town through a very striking cemetery. I went during a sudden snow storm, so I wasn't able to sit and enjoy the views - but there were many benches - seems like a good place to sit back and relax! Definitely recommend!
