Perfect first night in the city

The city's western influence on display

On the way to the Mt.Hakodate Ropeway

Turns out that Hakodate is quite a lovely place

The view from atop Mt.Hakodate

Dusk in the city

Standing eye-level with Japan Airlines

Spectacular Hakodate sunset

Getting darker.......

Back down the hills of Motomachi

The red-brick warehouse along the waterfront

Boats light up at night

My first visit to Hakodate started with an arrival at the main train station in the late afternoon. After checking into the Hotel Route Inn Grantia Hakodate Ekimae, I decided to hit the streets and explore my immediate vicinity. The night was warm, the sky was clear and, after exploring the Motomachi Area, I climbed aboard the Mt. Hakodate Ropeway. In my two hours atop the mountain I saw the city transform from sun-drenched to nightfall. On my way back to the hotel, I walked back down towards the Russian Orthodox Church and past the Red-Brick Warehouses before retiring for the evening.
