“Free community zoo”

Feb 2020

It's near the Yachigawara(?) onsen and I stopped by here after my bath. Try not to go during winter as many of animals would be kept in the shelter. They've got a reptiles, birds, ponies,etc.

“Beautiful and historic park”

May 2019

Hakodate Park is on the hillside of Mt. Hakodate and an easy walk from the ropeway's base. The terrain is hilly and affords a varied landscape with a couple of bridges and nice views. There are several colonial historic buildings there. Ludwig Haber's gravestone is there, having been moved from the Foreigner's Cemetary to the place where he was murdered by an ultra- nationalist. The park is also the site of a number of fairs and festivals throughout the year and is largely undiscovered by the hordes visiting the mountain observation area.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect place

Aug 2014 • Friends

We were here when clouds were very low but anyhow we felt very comfortable in park. There is lot of places where you can relax and enjoy the view on various trees & bonsais. There are also attractions for kids.

Pretty Park With Good Views

Sept 2015 • Couples

The park is well maintained with some good views from the highest lookout point across the ocean to the south. The park has a central fountain at the lower level and some pleasant walking paths

Nothing in winter

Feb 2017 • Friends

The entire park was covered in snow and we found a pavilion to climb up to get a view of the park but it is very small and nothing like the magnificent spread of Goryokaku Koen on a similar day. There was nothing much to see due to the new content snow blanket.

Small Zoo is impressive

Apr 2019 • Family

We went to this place on 8th April. It was a weekday and there were hardly anyone in the park. It has a compact mini Zoo & it was well maintained. The Hakodate rope car & observatory which is a few blocks ahead is a must see. I recommend tourists who are not in a group to rent a car in Hakodate. You'll save a lot of time as the local transport is not all that great.

Good to visit early in the morning

Aug 2017 • Family

I visited this park, which is located to the left of the Gokoku Jinja Shrine, and on the same road (Higurashi Dori) as the Hachimangusai Shrine.There were quite a few persons jogging and walking in the park when I visited.I was really interested in seeing the Ludwig Haber monument which was in the south western corner of the park, behind the Hakodate Museum.

Ludwig Haber was the German consul in 1874. He was at the post in Hakodate for only 7 months when he was murdered by a samurai, Tazaki Hidechika. The samurai was anti-foreigner, and his beliefs were in line with the Japan policy of isolation, until 1869 when the samurai shogonate was overthrown by the government forces during the meiji restoration i.e. return of the emperor to the throne. Tazaki had come to Hakodate specifically with the intention to kill foreigners. Tazaki turned himself into the authorities, and he was charged with murder, and executed shortly thereafter.

On the 50th anniversary of the incident, the grave marker was removed from the cemetery and erected at the spot of the incident in Hakodate Park. The imperial troops removed it during World War 2, but it was found nearby shortly after the war ended, and re-erected in 1949. After viewing the memorial, I walked around the park and enjoyed the gardens, ponds and other monuments.

The easiest method of reaching the park is by Tram # 2. The park is almost at the end of the tram line, and the nearest tram stop is the next to last on the line, Aoyagicho. The park may be visited along with the many shrines and temples within walking distance of the park.

Easily accessible by tram or stroll

Apr 2016 • Family

We took a tram to the nearest stop Aoyagicho Station. From there is a brief walk to the park. We were lucky that we caught the full bloom of cherry blossoms. Its a relaxing place and we saw many people picnic and enjoying the cherry blossoms. There is also a carnival to celebrate the blooms. Worth a visit if there is cherry blossoms. We had a relaxing walk to the red brick warehouse. There were directions/ signs along the way which was great.

Nice and compact

Apr 2016 • Couples

The cherry trees were just budding when we arrived. Perhaps in about a week to ten days it would be best for viewing. Nevertheless this is still a nice and compact park to stroll around.

As pretty and cozy as you can get !

Aug 2015 • Friends

At the foot of Mt Hakodate is this cozy park which has enough cherry blossom trees, which in early May, bloom in wonderful beauty in contrast to the coniferous green trees growing up the mountain. Then again the yellow and red autumn leaves in late October blaze with magnificient glory, their colors made more vibrant by the contrasting sea breeze temperatures . Oh yes ,chidren will love the tea cup merry go round and feeding the deer in the mini zoo, or the peacocks.

Great place and it's free with excellent view of sakura

May 2014 • Friends

It was a bonus that we visited this park. We took a street car (tram) from hotel resol hakodate yen230/per trip.

Check out the street car map, it will see this park.

We happened to go there during golden week, so there is a mini carnival with games and food stalls. The price are pretty reasonable and affordable. Plus the view are great.

There is some museum inside the park, but again close very early around 4.30pm. The park is free, but to enter museum you probably need to pay.

Very nice site to visit.

Aug 2013 • Couples

We visited the museum in the park and it gave a very good interpretation of Hakodates history. There was a special exhibit of historical interest to us - we caught it on the final day it was open so that was a nice plus. Very convenient to the tram line.
