During lunch, I visited Goryokaku Tower, where the first and second floors are bustling with souvenir shops. Shunka offers a revolving sushi restaurant, and the Four Seasons Seafood restaurant is available for reservations. I chose a seafood bowl and a set meal with tempura and chawanmushi. The restaurant has private rooms where you can enjoy a leisurely meal.

I used it when sightseeing at Goryokaku Tower! I thought it might be a tourist restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised! The crab was cut in a way that was easy to eat, with plenty of meat and delicious! They also provided crab miso separately, so I could fully enjoy the crab! Every side dish featured seafood, and the chawanmushi even had scallops in it, so I am very satisfied.

This restaurant, famous for its two iconic Goryokaku Towers, is also well-known on YouTube. I went there around noon on a weekday and, as expected, it was fully booked. They said there was about a one-hour wait, but we were able to get a seat in a large room with shared seating in about 30 minutes. It was around 1:00 PM and we were still able to order lunch. Depending on the day's catch, the quality can vary greatly, but we were lucky as small snow crabs were in season and our dish looked incredibly luxurious. The small snow crab was served in its whole form, fresh and springy. The fried dishes were made with scallops, and the crab was cut into easy-to-eat pieces. It must be quite a task to prepare all this. I am grateful for their effort. I wanted to have a drink. The taste and portion size were both very satisfying.

After visiting Goryokaku Tower, we decided to have lunch at Shunko located on the second floor. I was looking forward to it as it was recommended by a friend, and stepping into the restaurant, I was greeted by an elegant Japanese ambiance filled with a sense of luxury beyond my imagination. The seafood bowl was just the right amount, not too much or too little, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious, making me feel truly happy. If I ever travel to Hokkaido again, I would love to visit this place multiple times and savor the wonderful atmosphere, taste, and quality. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind after exploring Goryokaku Tower. Encountering such a lovely restaurant was a great memory to cherish.

A restaurant located near Goryokaku Tower, a popular tourist spot, that also has many local fans for its reliable seafood dishes. The daily lunch special is the best deal, offering a variety of sashimi, small dishes, and steamed rice bowl for around 1500 yen. Coffee is included after the meal. The private rooms allow for a relaxed dining experience. The bento boxes in front of the station are also very popular.

At a revolving sushi restaurant in Hakodate, I indulged in a sushi feast. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, offering great value for money. The sushi crafted by the skilled chefs had soft and tasty vinegar rice. After a Sapporo Classic draft beer, I enjoyed a satisfying buzz with Hakodate Bugyo Junmai Ginjo sake. Thank you for the feast!

I visited around 12:30 on a Saturday in November 2022. It was the second day of my trip to Hakodate. I had originally planned to come on the first day, but due to some circumstances, I ended up visiting on the second day. I had been eyeing this place for a while and finally got the chance to visit. It was full, but luckily there was one table available by the window, so I was seated there. Relaxing music was playing in the background. I heard that the daily set menu was a good deal, so I ordered the Flatfish and Kombu Rice Bowl Set with an iced coffee for 1430 yen including tax. My wife ordered the Scallop and Salmon Rice Bowl for 1628 yen including tax. The food arrived in about 10 minutes, which was quite fast. The daily set menu had a generous portion. The salad was delicious with teriyaki chicken on top. The rice bowl was flavorful with tasty flatfish and smooth, creamy squid. The miso soup with baby scallops and grated kelp was also delicious. The fried oysters with tartar sauce were decent. The steamed egg custard had a refined flavor and was tasty. Considering the location and the price of under 1500 yen, I think it was a great value. The food was delicious, and I left satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Shikikaisen Shunka on the 2nd floor of Goryokaku Tower in Hakodate. It is part of the same group as the revolving sushi restaurant in front of Goryokaku Tower. The food and fish are delicious and offer good value for money, making it a great place for business meals. They also have large private rooms, making it convenient for large group dinners or business entertainment. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the crucial sashimi.

I was looking for a restaurant where I could eat in a private room as a measure against COVID-19. Since the restaurant I was aiming for was under renovation and I couldn't visit, I came here instead. The reasons are: - Private rooms available even for small groups - The restaurant is clean - A wide variety of a la carte dishes on the menu - If available, you can eat fresh squid - Plenty of charcoal-grilled dishes My impression after visiting is, it's pretty good. The food ranges from izakaya-style to traditional Japanese cuisine to Western-style dishes like gratin and steak, and the lineup is really wonderful. Being located in Goryokaku Tower, which is a tourist spot, I was a little worried, but the food is also well-prepared. The portion size of the dishes is on the smaller side maybe because it's a popular restaurant and tends to be crowded, it was a bit difficult to get someone to answer the phone or it took a while when using the call button during the meal. The last order for food is quite early.

There are a few dining options on the second floor of Goryokaku Tower, and we had a banquet at one of them called "Shunka." I thought it would mainly cater to tourists due to its location, but surprisingly, locals also frequent the place. The course options include a 6000 yen one where you can have draft beer, and a 5000 yen option where you get bottled beer. We opted for the 6000 yen course to avoid the hassle of pouring and being poured beer from bottles. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture all the dishes in photos, but the food was decent and enjoyable. It was a typical, tasty meal. We had a great time eating and drinking! Thank you for the meal. Afterward, we headed to a hostess bar for the second round. Enjoying the beautiful illumination at Goryokaku Tower.

We had a banquet at the Japanese restaurant "Shunka" on the 2nd floor of Goryokaku Tower. We reserved the monthly kaiseki menu (5,000 yen) that uses local ingredients from Hakodate. We enjoyed elegant seasonal flavors and had a wonderful time. Goryokaku Tower opened on December 1, 1964, with a height of 60 meters. The current tower was constructed in 2004 with a total cost of 3 billion yen. Due to the nearby Hakodate Airport, there is a height restriction of 108 meters under aviation law, so the lightning rod height is 107 meters. The structure of the tower is inspired by Goryokaku, with a star-shaped tower body and a pentagon-shaped observation deck. It is a rare tourist spot in Hakodate.

We visited this restaurant with our family while sightseeing at Goryokaku in Hakodate. It seems to specialize in seafood bowls. We chose the Shunka Don, which was packed with ingredients like crab, sea urchin, squid, scallops, salmon, and salmon roe. We will definitely visit again when we come to Hakodate.

It was delicious! The restaurant had a calm and quiet atmosphere. The food was tasty and the portion size was impressive.

I enjoyed the Himezen Gozen set meal for 1850 yen. The Sapporo Classic beer was 530 yen. We sat at a table, but since it was a private room, it was calming.
