Visit the historic site of Goryokaku Park, a former fortress in the shape of a five-pointed star. Built in the 1850s, the fort owes its curious shape to Ayasaburo Takeda, who designed it to optimize defence and gun placement. Roam the fort complex, a public park since 1914, and take a relaxing walk along the moat, lined with lush cherry blossom trees. Climb to the top of the 100 m (328 ft) tall observation tower to enjoy panoramic views of the fort and its surroundings.

  幾つかの展示物がありましたが、復元された物であったり、当時ここにXXXがあったという説明文のある表示板だけが立っているコンクリートの敷地だったりで、少々情緒不足でした。ただ、五稜郭タワーの展望台に上がるなら、公園を散策した後にタワーに上がった方が、（展望台から下の風景を見た時に）「あそこがアレだとか」、「ここがあそこに繋がっているんだ！」とかの理解が深まるので、一度は公園も訪れるべきでしょう。ゆっ...  more »

  There were some exhibits, but it was a concrete site with only a display board standing with a description that xxx was here at that time, and it was a little lack of emotion. However, if you go up to the observatory of Goryokaku Tower, the person who went up to the tower after strolling through the park (when you looked at the scenery below from the observatory) "It's all over there", "This is connected there!" You should visit the park once because you will understand more. It is a moderate area to walk slowly, and it is evaluated that it is so-so because it can go up on foot to the bank surrounding all sides.

  まず、五稜郭タワーに上がり上からの景色を堪能して、いざ公園に向かうと、小さい様に見えて結構な広さと段差で、うわぁ〰紅葉がキレイと、いいながら、足元ばかり見て歩いてましたよ。 土方歳三の像を見ながら…歴史の勉強になりました❗ タワーの中にある、アイスクリーム屋さんが、とても美味しかったですわ～♪  more »

  First of all, I went up to Goryokaku Tower and enjoyed the view from above, and when I went to the park, I saw it as small and looked good in size and steps〰, and i walked to see only my feet while the autumn leaves were beautiful. Looking at the statue of Toshizo Hijikata... I ♪❗ learned about history.
