In front of Goryokaku, the rotating sushi restaurant Shunka Minatomachi Hakodate is a place where the seafood bowl is delicious! I thought the rotating sushi must be good too, so I joined the line right when it opened. The restaurant is quite spacious, so I didn't have to wait at all to enter. There are dividers, with only 3 seats at the counter, mostly for 2 people, and box seats for 3 people or more. Since I was alone, I opted for the 10-piece assortment (1,980 yen). The atmosphere inside the restaurant is lively, with the staff recommending dishes directly rather than sushi rotating on a rail. Before the 10-piece assortment arrived, I had two pieces of Nishin (308 yen) from Abashiri. It was my first time having Nishin sushi, and it had a slightly unique taste, but not enough to be off-putting. After a short wait, the 10-piece assortment arrived, consisting of the following: salmon roe, sea urchin, anglerfish liver, hokke fish, horse mackerel, flatfish, natural yellowtail, scallop, marinated kelp, and egg. For this price, it also included salmon roe and sea urchin, which were delicious! The sea urchin was probably from northern purple sea urchin and was very tasty. The salmon roe was consistently good, and the fatty tuna was also delicious. The anglerfish liver was tasty, as well as the flatfish, scallop, and marinated kelp. The squid was just average, and the natural yellowtail lacked a bit of fatty flavor. The egg was okay, but I didn't really need it without rice. I forgot to eat the soup and chawanmushi. It was Sunday, but I was able to easily enjoy sushi, so I think it was a good experience. Thank you for the meal!

Rotating sushi in front of Goryokaku! When I visited Goryokaku Tower, I stopped by this restaurant. It's located just a stone's throw away from Goryokaku, and when you're tired from sightseeing, it's right there in front of you and you just feel like eating there, haha. Even though it's in a tourist spot, the inside of the restaurant was very clean and nice!

I went to dinner! I wanted to go to Goryokaku Lucky Pierrot, but since I had come all the way to Goryokaku, I thought I might as well. The tower was closed, so sushi was the only option (lol). The restaurant was a bit cramped and there were a lot of families, so the turnover rate was slow, but I understand why. The interior was beautiful and it has only been open for a little over a year, yet there were many people on YouTube who had visited. We waited for a while. The staff in the hall were efficient and kind, which was great. At first, they offered to seat us separately right away if that was okay, but since it was our first time at the restaurant and we wanted to eat while talking as a family, we declined. They said the table would be available soon, but they offered us seats at the counter first. There was no unpleasant feeling at all. You can tell when someone is good at their job (,,> <,,) I hope they keep it up. Now, I really wanted a drink (lol). I ordered a lemon sour and they brought it to me written on paper. They brought us freshly made sushi like horse mackerel, sardines, bonito, and we enjoyed almost all of them. It's a sneaky strategy, I think (●︎´▽︎`●︎). I didn't think the prices were that high. I had sea urchin and crab, and with drinks for three people, it was around 8000 yen. My daughter also had a drink, and my son was eating like crazy, so we were really satisfied ^^ I saw someone eating thickly cooked food, and towards the end, I noticed that they were cooking it in the sushi preparation space! The staff noticed and asked if we wanted to try it, so we did. How can it be so thick, fluffy, and juicy ✨ A genius (▭-▭)✧✨ It was delicious. There are also various performances, so everyone can't leave. The turnover is slow. There's no way around it. There are no blind spots, and you can see all the customers, which I think is good. It's a great restaurant, but you can't just drop in (￣▽￣;) I definitely want to go back when I visit Hakodate again! Goodbye━(人>▽<｡)━Sama The only photos I had were from Instagram (lol) and I can't post them (lol). Only the exterior (lol).

It was a night during a 3-day weekend, but we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The interior of the restaurant is very clean. The sushi was made by a young part-time worker, and while the rice was a bit loose, the fish itself was very delicious and satisfying. The crab soup was the best I've ever had. The service was neither good nor bad, just average.

A recently opened lively conveyor belt sushi restaurant. It seems to be run by a local catering shop. The system is based on a conveyor belt, but it is mainly order-based. Additionally, the staff recommend dishes by passing them around. The cheaper plates are around 200 yen each, while seasonal or local ingredients range from 400 to 600 yen. I had about 7 decent dishes and it came to around 4,000 yen. The shellfish, especially from Hokkaido, was really good and tasty. The sushi rice was firm, similar to typical conveyor belt sushi. It's all about the quality of the ingredients. The scallops, golden eye snapper, scallop sushi boats, grilled scallops, flounder fin, surf clam, and live octopus were not exactly cheap, but not expensive either. However, when you think about it, the conveyor belt sushi place near the station is the best.

I had dinner at Shunka, a sushi restaurant located next to Goryokaku Park. It is actually a branch of Shunka, a traditional Japanese restaurant inside Goryokaku Tower. The atmosphere at the revolving sushi here is excellent, just like at the main Shunka restaurant. Since the fish is sourced directly from the local wholesale market in Hakodate, the sushi ingredients are fresh. The highlights were the black rockfish, bluefin tuna, and horse mackerel. The larger cuts of fish really stood out. The sushi chefs were all young and skilled. It was a great evening. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by for a break and decided to try out a sushi restaurant that was popular among tourists. The seafood was not cheap, but it was incredibly delicious. The chawanmushi (savory egg custard) was especially tasty, and the jumbo botan shrimp was very satisfying. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

After visiting Goryokaku Tower, I went to this place. The rice and fish were not too big, making it easy to eat. The taste of kelp soy sauce was too strong, so I asked for regular soy sauce instead. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I found it to be just average. They recommended the sushi too many times, which made me feel pressured to decline, so I wish I could have enjoyed it more slowly.

The location of Shunka, a revolving sushi restaurant, is excellent, right in front of Goryokaku. Surprisingly, there wasn't much of a line. As someone who doesn't like to wait in line, I really appreciated that. I was seated and the menu had some interesting items, including specialties from Hakodate. I decided to order scallops, cherry salmon, Hokkai (a type of fish), and seared sushi. They were all delicious.

Hakodate Goryokaku is a famous cherry blossom spot in Hokkaido. This year, the cherry blossoms are blooming earlier than usual. After a long time, I went to see the cherry blossoms. Despite the strong wind, the young blossoms were vigorous and resilient, blooming almost fully without scattering. Cherry blossoms as far as the eye can see in 360 degrees. After enjoying the daytime cherry blossoms, I spent time at this conveyor belt sushi restaurant before viewing the evening cherry blossoms. The restaurant is located right at the entrance of Goryokaku, directly in front of Goryokaku Tower. It seems like a newly opened conveyor belt sushi restaurant. The interior is decorated with light bulbs resembling squid fishing boat lights, giving it a Hakodate-like atmosphere. The restaurant's name "Shunka" is fitting, with seasonal ingredients available. I tried the perfectly deboned herring and a tamagoyaki made with plenty of eggs served on an affordable plate. While most conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Hokkaido offer pickled cucumber sushi called "shinkanmaki," this restaurant had pickled daikon radish rolls instead, which was quite interesting. Despite the subdued atmosphere at conveyor belt sushi restaurants due to the pandemic, this restaurant had a lively yet not excessive ambiance. It was a fun experience to enjoy conveyor belt sushi after a long time. After the meal, it was time to view the evening cherry blossoms. I feel like I saw a lifetime's worth of cherry blossoms in just one day. The crescent moon and Venus were also vivid. It was a beautiful and delicious day. Thank you for the feast.

I visited this restaurant when I visited Goryokaku. It is located very close to the entrance of Goryokaku and was bustling with tourists, including myself. Although the restaurant was crowded, I was seated at a spacious table quite quickly. I ordered a sushi assortment, and everything was delicious. The snow crab miso soup had plenty of crab meat in it and was a very satisfying dish. I would love to visit again during cherry blossom season.

I was told that the cherry blossoms in Goryokaku Park might be blooming, so I came to see them... but they are not blooming at all. Oh, there's a conveyor belt sushi place here? I've been drinking too much recently, so today is a day off from alcohol. Let's eat! The line is long, how many people are in your party? Just one? We can seat you right away then. Yay, I'm a single rider! Let's see... Oh, there are a lot of Hakodate-themed dishes. First, I'll have the seasonal assorted sushi... even though it's not on a conveyor belt. There's herring, rockfish, seared mackerel, squid, salmon roe, and cherry salmon. Spring is in the air with these fish. The mackerel and the seared mackerel are perfect for spring. The menu item that caught my eye is the jumbo fried shrimp. You can have as much as you want... The codfish soup and deep-fried Atka mackerel are delicious. I'll add some nigiri sushi - eel, flying fish roe, and marinated octopus. They are all delicious. The people around me are ordering soft-serve ice cream for dessert, but I'm trying the wasabi leaf roll. It's dangerously spicy, not just a little tingle, but enough to make you cry. Am I just weak against wasabi? For dessert, the soft-serve ice cream looks good too. I'd like to come back here again, probably when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Thank you for the feast!

Opened in 2022, "Kaiten Sushi Hakodate Shunka" is a gourmet revolving sushi restaurant located near the entrance of Goryokaku Tower. The restaurant offers a wide variety of seafood mainly sourced from the waters near Hakodate, Hokkaido. The spacious and relaxing atmosphere with high ceilings provides a comfortable dining experience. The seating options include counter seats and large box seats that can accommodate up to 8 people, making it suitable for families or large groups. The menu features dishes such as extra-large botan shrimp, sea urchin battleship sushi, tuna, silver cod grilled sushi, and more. The special extra-large botan shrimp and Hakodate-caught true Atka mackerel were particularly delicious and unique.

This restaurant, which was recently opened near the tourist area where there were few conveyor belt sushi restaurants, was my first visit today. It's hard to say whether it's better than Kan○ro, but the price of tuna, especially otoro, was overwhelmingly cheaper here! Also, the quality of the nori seaweed seems to be better here. Overall, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

When visiting Goryokaku, I visited this restaurant after searching on Tabelog. It was a great choice! The sushi here is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. They also have a variety of side dishes and drinks like Sapporo Classic and local wine. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy their trip to Hakodate. Every piece of sushi is fresh and large, especially the squid sashimi which is very generous. It's a popular revolving sushi restaurant among both tourists and locals!

Next to Goryokaku Tower is a revolving sushi restaurant. It is relatively easy to get a seat on weekdays, but it gets quite crowded on weekends. I forgot to take photos inside the restaurant, but they have a regular menu plus daily recommendations. This time, I tried the "black soy sauce" and "fresh squid". The fresh squid had a surprising texture when eaten raw. It was very delicious, just as described, the more you chew, the better it gets! I will definitely visit again next time.

I visited during my trip to Hakodate. By 11 o'clock when lunch service started, there were already a few people lining up. We were able to enter the restaurant smoothly. The recommended menu of the day was fresh and very delicious! The prices were also reasonable, not too expensive. The staff also recommended items that were not on the menu, like freshly made sushi and freshly fried tempura, which felt like a great deal. They even had a children's sushi menu available.

After exploring the grounds of Goryokaku, it was time for lunch. I had already decided on a restaurant to visit. Just a stone's throw away from Goryokaku Tower, there was a newly opened revolving sushi restaurant that I headed to. There was a short wait before the opening, but I joined the line. I was seated at the counter, but since it was two seats for one person, it was comfortable. I ordered a Sapporo Classic beer and a Hakodate Bugyo sake, along with 8 plates of sushi and a chawanmushi. The chawanmushi had chestnuts in it, following the Hokkaido style. In total, it cost 3905 yen. Although it was a bit pricey, overall it was a good restaurant so I didn't mind. The sushi I had included firefly squid, herring, sweet shrimp, white shrimp, tuna, assorted cuts (white fish and red fish), yellowtail, and shio no ko (young amberjack). They were all fresh and delicious, making it worth the price. While eating, I observed the surroundings and saw that the chefs were energetic and the waitresses were polite. The atmosphere was great and I felt comfortable. I would consider coming back again, although it was a bit disappointing that there was no miso soup or similar dish on the menu. They did have udon and soba though. All in all, it was a satisfying meal.

Inside the tower, there is a new revolving sushi restaurant called Shunka. It used to be a drugstore before. It seemed like they invited people who are active on Instagram for the opening. It was a quiet night before the increase in tourists, so we were able to get in quickly. When you come to the revolving sushi, make sure to try the tobiko! It's right in front of Goryokaku Park and the tower, so it's a nice place to visit. There are also shops like Rapy and Ajisai in the area. And just a 3-minute walk away is Hase-Ste, too.

I traveled from Kanto to Hakodate and visited this restaurant. The staff were all very friendly, and the dishes were incredibly fresh and delicious. I had high expectations for the seasonal seafood course, and it exceeded them. I was so impressed because we can't get such delicious fish in Kanto. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
