A Trappist monastery in Hokuto for men. There is also a Trappistine monastery for women in Hakodate. ⁡ This monastery has very strict rules and has no contact with the outside world, so tours are by reservation and only for men. ⁡ At the monastery's shop, you can buy a dark-colored butter candy called Sun, which is only sold here, but they also sell other non-standard items at low prices.

Access: From Saitama, I took a leisurely train ride on the Tohoku Main Line, Galaxy Railway, and Aoimori Railway using the Hokkaido East Japan Pass. Tourist Spot: Hokkaido Shinkansen It took about an hour from Shin-Aomori to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, and an hour later I returned to Shin-Aomori by Shinkansen. As expected, the Shinkansen is comfortable and exciting to ride. By the way, there was almost nothing at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station. All I can remember is Toyoko Inn walking around proudly. Hotel: Toyoko Inn Dining & Restaurant: Ekiben Shopping: Convenience Stores

#Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto #Hokkaido Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station is currently the terminus of the Hokkaido Shinkansen, and can be reached from Tokyo in as little as four hours. Although it is called Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, its address is in Hokuto City, so it can be said to be a bit of a complicated station. The area around the station is a bit deserted, but there is a hut that is said to have been built in the Meiji era and a monument to Michiya Mitsuhashi. From Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto to Hakodate, there is a train called the Hakodate Liner, which is divided into two types: rapid and local. The train you board will probably change depending on the Shinkansen connection, but the seats are soft and relatively empty, so it should be easy to find a seat. From here, you can easily travel to Hakodate by Shinkansen!

It is famous as an observation deck where you can enjoy the '"back night view" of Hakodate, but the road to get here is quite tough and there is almost no lighting, so I think it is best not to go here if you are not confident in driving. The observation deck is well maintained and has toilets, shops, and vending machines. Parking lot is spacious. You should visit it.

Cherry blossom season (only) is the best. Many people visit during the Golden Week season to celebrate the best time to view the cherry blossoms, but there are plenty of parking lots available, from nearby areas to areas where you can enjoy a short walk, so it won't be crowded and you won't be able to get in. Personally, I like the weeping cherry blossoms illuminated at night better than during the day. I think if there were a few more food stalls, you would be able to enjoy the view while eating and drinking,

I went to a Trappist monastery on a trip to Hokkaido! I recommend renting a car. It's hard to do it justice in a photo, but the monastery visible at the end of the avenue lined with cedar and poplar trees was very beautiful.

#TrappistMonastery is a 19th century monastery made of red bricks. The view of the monastery beyond the tree-lined street is like something out of a movie, and is very moving. Speaking of Trappist, the cookies are a great souvenir. Here, you can enjoy soft serve ice cream topped with #Trappistcookies for 400 yen. Hokkaido soft serve ice cream is very rich and delicious, and having the famous cookie on top makes it truly special. To get here, we recommend renting a car. Parking is free. If you are going by public transport, take the #DounanIsaribiRailway for 40 minutes from #HakodateStation, get off at OshimaTobetsu Station, and then it is a 20-minute walk from there. #HokkaidoTourism #HokkaidoTrip #HakodateTourism #HakodateTrip

If you come all the way from Tokyo to Hokkaido by Shinkansen, Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station is currently the terminus. Development beyond Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station is currently underway, and in the not-too-distant future it will be extended to Sapporo. Even then, Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station will be a stopover on the way to Hakodate. Even now, there are dedicated ticket gates for transferring between conventional trains and the Shinkansen, and many people use them. It seems that traveling by rail is faster, especially from the Tohoku region. You can really feel the changing times. #DomesticTravel #Shinkansen #HakodateTrip #ShinHakodateHokutoStation #HokkaidoShinkansen

It's snowing hard today. The temperature is probably -6-7 degrees Celsius. #very cold

Trappist Abbey 392 Mitsuishi, Hokuto, Hokkaido 049-0283 The road to the monastery is long, and both sides are very wide with a good view, and you can see the sea. The autumn leaves such as ginkgo trees were also beautiful. Visited on 11/5/2022 I bought a soft serve ice cream at the shop, and it was rich but not sticky, and had a refreshing aftertaste and was really delicious ♡ There was plenty of cream even in the cone, it was tall, and it came with a biscuit, so I think 400 yen is a great deal. The cone was crispy and I was able to eat it deliciously until the very end. You can't enter the monastery, but the overwhelming vastness is soothing. #AutumnFoliage #HokkaidoTourism #HokkaidoTrip

I wanted to show my kids the Shinkansen, so I went to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station to see it. I happened to be there at a good time for the up and down trains, so we were able to see the Shinkansen trains next to each other. There are only a few trains, so check the timetable in advance and buy an admission ticket to go and see them!! #SummerWeekendTrip #HokkaidoTrip
