HokkaidoDesigned in 1855 as Japans premier Western-style French star fortress, Fort Goryokaku is renowned worldwide for its unique five-pointed star layout. At night, ascending to the 107-meter observation deck of Goryokaku Tower reveals a mesmerizing bird’s-eye perspective of Hakodate city lights. In winter, the annual "Hoshi no Yume" (Dream of Stars) event illuminates the entire snow-filled star-shaped moat with 2,000 glowing lights, creating a giant shining star on the dark snowy landscape.
HokkaidoRanked alongside Hong Kong and Naples as one of the Three Great Night Views of the World. In winter, snow blankets the dramatic hourglass-shaped city pinched between Hakodate Bay and the Tsugaru Strait, glowing like countless scattered jewels under the crisp sub-zero night sky.
