Goryokaku Park

Goryokaku Park

Goryokaku Park is a national special historic site known as the location of the end of the Boshin War. It is where the old shogunate troops led by Takeaki Enomoto and Toshizo Hijikata engaged in fierce battles against the new Meiji government forces. This Western-style fortress, which forms a beautiful star shape, spans a vast area of 25.2 hectares and is also known as one of Hokkaido's premier cherry blossom viewing spots, featuring about 1,500 cherry trees. Visitors can enjoy the stunning scenery throughout the seasons, and the park becomes a magical world during the night illuminations. Additionally, the restored Hakodate magistrate's office of the Edo Shogunate is located in the center of the park, making it a must-visit spot for history enthusiasts. From the adjacent Goryokaku Tower, you can enjoy panoramic views of the star-shaped fortress and the beautiful surroundings. If you visit Hakodate, be sure to check out Goryokaku Park.
