Day 9: 22.7 (Sat) Hakodate (函館)
The Japanese breakfast set was included in the hotel stay plan. I love that 'hot spring egg' (yes, I'm an egg lover!).I left early for Hakodate. As a harbour city, Hakodate is famous for its fresh seafood, so the first thing I did when I reached Hakodate was to try its sashimi don (raw fish rice).
Tram is the major transportation in Hakodate but I didn't ride any in this trip. Actually, its main sightseeing spots are within walking distance, so with plenty of time I nosed around the town on foot.
Most of the architecture in Hakodate was in Western style as the town was served as a trade port with other foreign cities in the past.
Hakodate is also famous for its night view. However, as the weather was not good, I failed to see any night view up at Mt. Hakodate.

(I don't eat crabs. Yet, they are the specialty in Hakodate.)

(The buildings look cute!)
(I visited all the places of interest in just an afternoon--on foot. I even visited the graveyard for foreigners.)
(The drizzle didn't stop throughout the day. I was like having a 1000-degree shortsightedness at Mt. Hakodate and couldn't see anything further than 10m.)
I stayed at Sumitomo Inn（住友）in Hakodate. Clean, tidy and close to the JR station. The Taiwanese host is helpful.
