It is a park with a wonderful atmosphere, where the walking and running paths are smooth and comfortable. With every step I take, I can see water lilies, lush green trees, birds, and cheerful mallards. I feel truly happy surrounded by nature and this fresh air.
Goryokaku Park was a really peaceful place to walk around while visiting Hakodate. The star-shaped layout is beautiful, especially with the trees and water surrounding the fort area. I went during the day and the atmosphere felt calm and relaxing, with lots of locals out walking, jogging, and enjoying the park.
The paths are easy to explore and there’s plenty of space to sit and take in the scenery. The view from Goryokaku Tower overlooking the park was definitely worth it too, especially seeing the unique shape from above. There’s also some interesting history around the site which made it more than just a normal park visit.
The only small downside was that some areas were a little crowded at times, but overall it was still a really nice experience and a great spot to spend a few hours in Hakodate
This is a beautiful place for a stroll and the perfect complement to our visit to Goryokaku Tower. Walking through the former fort gave us a different perspective of the unique star-shaped design, with plenty of scenic paths, greenery, and historical touches along the way. The park is peaceful, well maintained, and easy to explore at a relaxed pace. I can only imagine how stunning it must be during cherry blossom season.
Visited during Sakura season and the park was peaceful and quiet. Come early morning before the crowds start at about 10-11am.
Public toilets were available and quite a nice walk around the park. If not mistaken about 1,815m one loop.
Be careful as some people cycling around and many runners too.
Goryokaku Park is a lovely spot! 🌳 I really enjoyed my visit here, it's very well-maintained and offers a peaceful escape. The atmosphere is quite pleasant, making it a great place to relax. 🚶♀️ The cherry blossoms were in season, which made the visit all the more special. 😊
