Jodogahama is a representative spot of the Rikuchu Coast Scenic Area!
The white textured rocks form a beautiful coastline where you can rest and swim! It is one of the top 100 beaches in Japan! The name means the Pure Land of Bliss!

Kanamori Red Brick Warehouse is the best shopping place in Hakodate, and it has a very literary and youthful atmosphere. Beautiful views of the canal and its old red brick architectural features. The lighting at night makes for a great photo spot. There are as many as 100 shops, restaurants, etc. inside, which is very easy to browse.
