On Tuesday, after classes (Kim teaches English at different schools in the Oshima district), we hopped on the train to Hakodate.
We didn't have much time to spend in Hakodate but we saw the two most visited places in Hakodate: Fort Goryokaku and Mt. Hakodate.
Fort Goryokaku : Instead of trying to explain in my own words, I'll simply post a picture that explains it all:

| The governmental hall of the Republic of Ezo (located inside the fort) |
To be able to see the star shape, you have to go the top of the Goryokaku Tower.

| Can you see the star shape? |

| The mountains you see in the distance are the coast of Aomori, the northernmost prefecture of Honshu |
After that, we went to eat soup curry! It was delicious! If you like curry, it's a safe bet to say you like soup curry as well.
Tummies satisfied, we walked up the hill to the ropeway departure station and took the ropeway to the top of Mt. Hakodate. And witnessed the superb night view of the city below. There were also thunderstorms visible in the distance, which made it even more dramatic.

Moi aussi, j'ai beaucoup aimé Hakodate.
Hi great blog! I was wondering if you know anything about training judo at Tokai as a non student is it possible to just go to their practices to train and learn from them, but not be a part of the universitY?
Hi Andreina,
Yes, you can practice at the judo club without having to enroll as a student. You will need to contact the judo club. Hope this answers your question!
Thanks, do you know how i could get in contact with them?
You can email Keiko Mitsumoto. Here is her email address: judo1117@keyaki.cc.u-tokai.ac.jp
