- fresh fresh seafood...at a price
- yubari melons cost a bomb...they're really sweet though...
- get a load of that grandmother of all crabs!
- uni (sea urchin roe) straight from the shell...it was awesome!
- fresh squid sashimi - they were swimming around in a pool, pulled out and sliced/diced right in front of us...in fact the tentacles were still wriggling around as they slid down my throat...freaky!
- on the grounds of the goryukaku (the 1st western-style fortress complex in japan)
- floral clock
- a walk after lunch around the old hakodate ward...this is now a posh residential area with many old and beautiful buildings...
- ...such as this russian orthodox church
- another church
- beautiful array of fall colours
- the hakodate meijikan (old postal hall) is "encased" with creeper type leaves...it's now converted into a shopping centre
- coloured shot glasses
- redbrick warehouse shopping area...original godowns for cargo and now also converted for shopping/leisure use
- resting after too much walking
- our last meal in hokkaido was a rather tasty tonkatsu teishoku at the hakodate airport
