Cherry Blossom Ride Around Hakodate – First Look at Spring’s Best Views

Hello everyone, it was supposed to be rain today, but the forecast changed a bit, and now it looks like it’ll only rain a little at night. So I’m planning to continue my tour of cherry blossom spots from last time. Yeah. Spring ride for cherry blossom in Hokkaido From Shirakami Cape to Matumae Castle, And Omonai Sakura Road Then to Sakuragaoka Street, Goyokaku Park, and Hokiji Temple’s weeping cherry, Ended at Hekirichi Camp Wow, the scenery is amazing! Wow, there are bamboo plants here! Wow, this is the Ketsumyaku-zakura cherry tree! Wow, it’s so beautiful! Wow, that’s a hawk! There are so many hawks here! Yeah, let’s go! Today I’m heading to see the cherry blossoms along the coast, so you can enjoy the view too. Yeah, it’s not sunny, but I feel good. If you turn left, there’s a highway, but today I’m heading along this coast because I read there were some holes in the road, and it sounded scary. But it’s really comfortable because there’s no traffic on this road. It’s so nice. It takes about an hour from Kikonai station to Hakodate. This is my first time riding this motorcycle here. So it’s so so much fun riding along the coast. Oh my god, I forgot to bring my helmet bag. But it’s OK! Wow, you can see Cape Saraki. I shot another video here before. If you’re interested, feel free to check out the video. Since it’s April, the snow isn’t piling up, so you can easily go all the way to the tip of Cape Saraki. You can see Mount Hakodate over there. Wow, the scenery is so beautiful! It’s so windy. Hokuto city. Yeah. What? Whoa, what a guy. What was that thing he was riding? Wow. Here is the road of Wow, so beautiful! Wow. So many people are taking pictures. wow It’s so nice. Oh, that’s the end of the cherry blossoms. Wow, that’s Goryokaku Tower! Wow, you can see the cherry blossoms. Wow Finally, I’ve arrived at the final destination. It’s not at its peak, but yeah, it still looks good. Thanks for watching! If you liked the video, don’t forget to like, leave a comment, and subscribe. Goodbye! since I came here I might as well visit the old fort. Yeah, let’s go! Wow, this gate is so cool! This is the site of the Togirichi Camp, built in 1855 by the Matsumae Domain to defend Hokkaido. It was Japan’s first star-shaped fortress, influenced by Western military design. Thank you for keeping me and my family healthy up until now.
I pray that those around me and everyone watching can stay healthy too.
