It was still pouring with rain but I had to get out and try to do some sightseeing in Hakodate, so I jumped on the tram to head upto Goryokaku Park to have a look around.
As the tram was drawing near to my stop it was still bucketing down, so when I got off the tram I did a quick survey of somewhere to shelter and I saw a Mister Donut so decided to head in.
The rain cleared long enough for me to jump on a tram to head to a brewpub that I had spotted the day before.
From JR Hakodate station its a 2 stop tram ride followed by a short walk to get to the location.
Lucky Pierrot is a local chain of hamburger restaurants in Hakodate that seems to have a huge following.
Around lunchtime on a very, very wet day I jumped on the tram and ended up in Honcho and made the quick walk to the Honcho branch of Lucky Pierrot.
In the evening I was feeling a little bit peckish and did a quick scout around the area near my hotel but I didn’t find much open, and those that were had a queue, or didn’t interest me. So I expanded my search area and remembered that I’d read about a little food court next to Hakodate station.
I headed over to the Hakoviva Mall and found the food court area which is themed as small shops in a Japanese laneway. I think the food court is called Hakodate Ekimae Yokocho
