My family and I went to Mt. Hakodate today with bus as the ropeway under renovation right now. We were there from early evening until the sun set. We got to take pictures when the sun still out and with the light sparkling. Even tough it was raining, we still got to enjoy the view as other people did:) The view was stunning. It was such a pleasant experience until I went back downstairs and many tourists (you can guess where) came. They talk so loudly and too many people came at the same time. What annoyed me wasn't that actually but in the toilet. They put their used hand toiled paper IN THE HAND DRIER! Can't they even read?? Or at least try to observed their surrounding to KNOW what exactly that thing for. And it wasn't only that, but in one of the toilet seat, there were some pee there. I still can't accept if they forgot to flush the toilet, BUT THEY EVEN PEE IN THE TOILET SEAT. Ughhh, it made me so mad and annoyed. I can't respect people who isn't considerate of other people.-. Fortunately, I got to watch a short movie and got the surprising-night-view from the theater after that:"

Breathtaking view at sunset. The sunshine pierced through the perfect opening of clouds today, giving us all an awesome view of Hokodate and its surrounding area. I could spend an entire day up here just looking out as far as the eye can see. I love winter and the cold, so it was perfect timing for me, snow blanketed the ground and fell gentle from the sky. The cold air blowing ranges from gentle frosty breeze to bull whip to the face; reminds you you’re alive, ha ha. But I’d imagine any season you visit would be beautiful. Don’t worry about crowds, sure there are other people there, work your way around the entire 360° of the top and you’ll find a turn to take photos or just look out at a majestic view. Enjoy it within the company of fellow humans. Go, now, don’t be shy, worth the trip.

Took number 4 bus from JR station up here on a Saturday early evening around 5pm, as the ropeway is closed for maintenance for 2 months. Had to stand for the whole trip and buses here have limited seatings. By counting over 20 tour buses on the way up, we can already tell that the peak will be very crowded as mentioned by other reviewers. Sun was part setting when around 5:15pm and gets dark by 5:30pm. The whole place is already completely packed and only lucky to find a spot to take a decent photos. Recommend to being a selfie stick or anything that can extend above to take the best photo. This is a very popular tour spot but be prepared for the serious crowds.

Amazing view of Hakodate city. Famous for the view of one-million dollars and I think it is true. The scenery is emotionally touching. However, too many tourists now a days. The waiting queue for the cable cars is over 1 - 2 hours during the peak season. Better to hire a taxi from the city center which will take you to the top of the mountain, shows you around and helps you to take pictures, explains about the city, then brings you back to your preferred place via other sightseeing spots. Around 5,500 yen. You will regret it if you don’t choose this option.
