What other travelers are saying about Old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward
Nice outside but I wish they had more furniture from the time period in the building. Wanted you to download a special app to have virtual reality of the rooms 👎🏻. Also required NO shoes when walking on hard floors (why I do not know).
Nice view to oversee the entire area, it’s within walking distance to the pier area. Nothing much on the inside, there’s a 3D AR app to enhance the visit but unfortunately couldn’t get it working.
