The morning in Hakadote was wet. Not a soaking rain, but enough to keep me from dragging out the DSLR. The following morning photos were taken from my mobile phone.

I really enjoyed the aesthetics of the roof of this building.

One of the interesting westernized buildings from the morning wandering, a Russian Orthodox church built in 1916. I loved the color of the roof.

The inside view toward the chancel. Let's forget the "no photography" sign on the side. 

The view from the church.

This is the old Public Hall. Very western construction.

View of Mt Hakodate. Easy hike to the top using the gondola seen off the left of the peak.

View from the observation building at Mt. Hakodate. 

From the mountaintop, I went to check out the "morning market" in the afternoon. 

Many places that I went had areas that were used for prayers. Many shrines had places to hang wood panels, but in Hakodate - know for their squid and shellfish - they used shells on is fence.

The street outside the morning market was pretty busy, even after noon.

Hakodate has a local hamburger chain of restaurants that the younger people seem to like. Maybe you can see a resemblance to a more well known western burger chain here.

Maybe now? My Japanese is rather poor, but the picture menus help a lot. Point to something on the menu, pay and see what you get.

Why doesn't clown themed burger restaurants in the USA serve beer? Japan is ahead of much of the world.

Hakodate has repurposed the old warehouses near the fishing wharves into a shopping destination. I was able to pick up some authentic sepia ink and chopsticks, but really enjoyed the view along the way. 

More views, from the DSLR, after the rain dissipated. 

Canal between the warehouses.

Walking back to the ship and watching some people catching dinner.
