What other travelers are saying about Goryokaku Park
What a great park.
While not all the cherry blossoms were in bloom it was great to explore the park and fort, people watching as we went.
It's a long walk from the cruise port, but well worth it!
This park set in a historical fort of an island with a moat all round it, is a beautiful park to visit if you are in Hakodate. The grounds of the park are nice for walking or just sitting in the shade under one of its many trees. And there is also a historical building at this park - the Old Hakodate Magistrate's Office - that might be worth your time to visit.
Spectacular view with a great history. A must visit if in hakodate. Take a trip to the observation tower. If the weather permits to also take a stroll on the park.
We are so lucky to be here when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Imagine you are wandering around in a sakura forest, all surrounded by floating white "clouds", it is an unique and wonderful experience that you will never forget. I think this park is even more eye-pleasing than some sakura parks in Tokyo.
Beautiful gardens next to the tower and the Magistrate House.
We missed Cherry Blossom season by about a week - would have been amazing as there are 1200 cherry tress in the fort area!
