📍 From Goryōkaku Tower, Japan
Built in the mid-19th century as a Western-style fortress, Goryōkaku showcases a distinctive star-shaped design and a tranquil moat. Now it thrives as a public park, especially popular during spring, when cherry blossoms frame its walkways in gorgeous pink. Stroll the paths, admire the reconstructed Hakodate Magistrate’s Office, and learn about the pivotal Battle of Hakodate fought here. Ascend the adjacent Goryōkaku Tower for an aerial view that reveals the star shape in full splendor. Interpretive displays inside explain its role in Japan’s modernization, making it a top destination for history buffs and photographers alike.
