Wow! The scenic coastline at Cape Tachimachi is breath taking! The scallops look sooo delicious! I have never seen corn tempera. Interesting! I have saved this series for my trip to Hokkaido. Thank you again, Sarah, for sharing! 🙏😊Looking forward to the vlogs on the FOOD! 😋🤤😆

Corn tempura is starting to become kind of popular in Tokyo as I’ve seen it in some restaurants recently 🤤

The modern city look great place to visit thanks you for your share of video!

Sugoi👍👏very nice restaurant & so many beautiful scenery in Hokkaido, Sarah-chan😁

Great channel and great tips! This looks soooo delicious and enticing. Can't wait visiting Hakodate and Sapporo from Mid September for 8 days!

Great vid, Sarah. Hakodate was already on my next trip list, but now I have a few specifics to aim for.

Thank you for an excellent video! I would probably have missed out on Tachimachi-saki if you hadn't recommended it, and it ended up being one of my favorite places in Hakodate; the sunset was even more beautiful from there than it was from Mount Hakodate (although both were certainly worth seeing).

This is my first video seeing of yours, this is awesome! You’re adorable and funny, and you find some great spots I’d never know to find!

I want to have a wing too!😆 Ah that seafood donburi looks so good and fresh! Scallops are my favorite too, hehe. Sweet corn tempura, whoa.. I want to try this! Lucky Pierrot looks fun omg (even though I HATE clowns haha..), the swinging chairs are so unique! And the chicken looks so delicious!! Beautiful scenery and views🏞️ Especially that night view!

Thank you so much! I was just planning a trip to Hokkaido and KZread recommended your video ❤ I wonder whether there is any possibility to buy seafood at 朝市 and ask local restaurants to cook it? I remember it is a thing in Thailand, but don’t know much about Japanese morning markets :)

@TokyoFoodieSarah

Жыл бұрын

I checked and it seems like some stalls sell sea urchin etc. for street food but I’m not sure if you can get fresh fish and they cook that for you. There is, however a stall where you can catch squid and they cut that for you so you can have fresh squid sashimi!

I like raw vegetables but I'm not sure i can eat raw sfood, haven't tried...but they look delicious! Nice vid

09:30, I don’t know why it’s so funny for me but I keep laughing for it! So random but Flip it’s funny! Can’t deal!

Hokkaido is famous for pumpkins, so much that my local supermarket sells some pumpkins specifically called Hokkaido pumpkins and I live out in the countryside.

Heading to Hokkaido on a around Japan cruise 19 days. Have one day in Kushiro, Hakodate and Otaru. Usually arrive at 8am and leave at 5pm. Love uni, ice cream and ramen. What do you recommend is best use of time as we cannot stay for dinner?

Hey, loving your videos. Is it easy to travel around these sites without a car or getting a bus?

Thanks for the comment ☺️ Hakodate morning market, Kanemori warehouse, lucky Pierrot are all central within walking distance. The other places you can take the bus except for Mt. Komagatake! I think you would need a car to get to Mt. Komagatake

Great video/tips - what is the ideal amount of time to spend in Hakodate? Planning to go in September, but passing through onto Sapporo - maybe Hakodate is worth spending more than a one day there?

@TokyoFoodieSarah

Жыл бұрын

I spent two whole days and everything I did is in this video! If you want to enjoy the evening activities (I.e. izakaya and night view) I recommend you stay for a night! The Goryokaku and Cape Tachimachi are a little further out, so if you skip these two you can squeeze a lot of the activities in one day and a bit. I hope that helps!

Hi - thank you for this timely video. I’m planning a 14 days in Hokkaido self drive. How many nights do you recommend to spend at Hakodate. Kindly advice. Tq

I'm heading to Hokkaido next week! Gonna make a trip down to Hakodate. May I know if it is recoomended to drive, or take the ropeway, or bus up to mount Hakodate like what you did? I will have a rental car but I can also leave it at the hotel which is about 15 min walk away.

I found this website that tells you the road will be closed from 5pm-10pm except for buses and taxis. The link is Japanese but you can use Google Translate. www.hakobura.jp/news/438 The car is therefore not an option. Ropeway would be a good experience so perhaps take the ropeway on your way there then take the bus back? Or the other way around? I didn’t take the ropeway but this way you get to experience both!

I came from kitretsu cartoon the same name of place and they are eating ikkasomen

Hi May I know the actual date of this video...Thanks

Ahahahaha, the "so much volcano" reference at kzread.info/dash/bejne/aq2Z2sqceZS2j7g.html! That got me laughing.

You’re so beautiful and it’s great to see a Japanese speak English, so well.

Wish I could go there it's my moms home town Her name is setsue sagawa .

is bus better than ropeway? 😊

I went to all the same restaurants as you last week haha. Oh by the way it’s not called chicken burger it’s a chicken sandwich. Don’t know why they call it a burger in Japan. Burgers are beef meat patties. Even KFC in America call their chicken sandwiches (sandwiches) not burgers lol. Just food for thought for you.
