Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're counting steps, Hakodate will help you hit your goal before lunch. Just keep in mind it can be tough if mobility is an issue for you.

Inside Hakodat's Red Brick warehouses, I was really surprised by how much care goes into the handmade arts and crafts.

It's turned out pretty nice in the morning, sunny, and then by the time that it's crappy and rainy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bundle up because the wind off the water can be very cold.
If you have mobility issues, stick to the morning market and the red brick warehouse to avoid the steep hills and stairs of Motomachi.
Look for the helpful signs along the way to navigate the city.
