About Hakodate Sea Winter Fireworks
- Combine with Night Views: We recommend visiting the summit of Mt. Hakodate to see the fireworks together with the world-famous Hakodate night view.
- Enjoy Local Cafes: Nearby spots like Lucky Pierrot, Starbucks, and Tully's Coffee in the Hakodate Bay area are great places to enjoy a warm drink while watching the show.
- Prepare for the Cold: The seaside gets extremely cold in winter; ensure you have heavy winter clothing and heat packs ready.
