Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Board your coach and travel to historic Fort Goryokaku Park, passing Mt. Hakodate and the Motomachi District. Completed in the last years of the Edo period, the massive, pentagonal, moated fortress was Japan's first Western-style citadel. Fort Goryokaku was the scene of a major rebellion during the Meiji Restoration. Forces once loyal to the shogunate seized the fort and held it until their defeat by the Imperial Army. Today the fort is a public park that is prized for its fine cherry trees. After your visit, board your coach for the return trip to the ship.
