The 2nd day of Hakodate Trip. I got up before 6 and went to the restaurant of the hotel at 6:30 a.m. The restaurant is located on the highest floor of the hotel (10th) and it was a buffet style. Grilled fish (sermon and yellowtail) were served by a cook who grilled fish according to orders by guests. All dishes were delicious and I liked “cuttle fish shiokara” the best.

Since the restaurant was on the 10th floor, I could enjoy good views of Hakodate, the port and the mountain called Hakodateyama.

When the dawn broke, a lot of crows flew in the town from the mountain. It seems like salalied men came to the office from bed-town to Tokyo every morning.

The bus-tour started at 9:40. The same sized bus came to the station, but there was only one-passenger, me! The guide explained sightseeing stops only to me!

We went to the cemetery for foreginers first. When Matthew Calbraith Perry came to Hakodate with his fleet in 1854, two of his solders died and they were buried at this cemetery.

More than 40 Russians were buried in one of the sections of the cemetery. And there was another sections designated to Chinese people.

There was also a section designated to Japanese women who entertained men of various nationalities.

Then the guide took me to the area where many churches of different denominations were. The Orthodox Church in Japan was the most famous and unique church. Then a Catholic and a protestant church as well as Church of England.

After seeing such churches, the guide took me to the Old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward. It was one of the old Western-type building where Taisho Emperer visited when he was Crawn Prince.

The tour ended at the ropeway station at Hakodateyama. I went to the top of Mt. Hakodate twice that day. Day time and evening.

The night view of Hakodateyama is very famous for its beauty, but when I visited at night, the weather was not fabrable and I could not see much lights from the observation deck.

Anyway, I went back to the hotel after the tour. I went out to the town again in the afternoon. This time, I went to the port where “Mashumaru” was locked to the seashore. “Mashumaru” used to be a ferry boat which connected Aomori and Hakodate until they succeeded to connect by Seikan Undersea Tunnel.

When I went to Hakodateyama again in the evening, I just walked from my hotel to the ropeway station.

It was only 30 minutes walk (maybe 2 km) for one way. The road-heating system was effective to melt the snow on the road. I could walk on the street comfortably for both ways.

旅行月日：2012年1月10日(火)雪時々晴れ。

旅行地：函館「朝市号」

旅行コース：函館駅西口～外国人墓地～ハリストス正教会～函館山ロープウェー駅

同行者：ツアー参加者は私だけ。

北海道旅行の二日目の朝。6時半からの朝食はホテル最上階の10Fで。たいへん豪華な食事で、特にひかふれスープやイカの塩辛と岩のりをごはんにかけてかけたものが美味。ほぼ1時間ほどかけてたっぷり食べた。

夜が明けはじめると大量の烏が函館山方面から市内へと飛来。これはねぐらからの出勤のようだった。

観光バス「朝市号」の出発は9時40分で客はなんと私だけ。大型バスの運転手とガイドはおかかえとおなじだからこの1000円は大変安いと思った。

まず外人墓地を訪問、ガイドの丁寧な説明を受けた。最初はロシア人墓地で約40基以上の墓がある。その向かい側は中国人墓地。その先はプロテスタント各派の共同墓地になっている。墓地はすべて津軽海峡に面しており、海峡の対岸は下北半島だ。

外人墓地の次はベリー広場で、バスはガイドと私を下した後、ロープウェーの駐車場へ行ったが、私をのせるわけではなく、ガイドのみのせてツアーは終わったから、私がバスに乗った区間は函館駅から外人墓地までと、外人墓地からペリー広場までのみ。それなら1000円は高い?

その後、「船魂神社」や宗派の異なる教会群を経て、ペリー広場へ向かった。

ガイドはペリー広場や教会群を案内し、その後公会堂に入ったが、入館料は別料金。北方民族資料館と文学館を合わせて3館共通券を750円で買った。公会堂は概略を説明するビデオがよかった。

内部は横浜に残る洋風の古い建物内と大差ない。皇族の使ったトイレの説明に興味を引かれた。すなわち皇族の排泄物は毎回専門医がチェックした後、処理するというもの。きっと今も同様なのだろう。


ガイドとはロープウェーの駐車場で別れ(観光中断)、ロープウェーで函館山へ上った。天気は非常に変わりやすく、展望レストランに入った時はちょうどよく見える時間で、注文した函館麦酒を飲んでいる間に雪雲が集まり、視界が悪くなった。

朝、持参したワンカップを注文したビールとともに飲み、ほろ酔い気分で下山。

[Hakodate beer, Hokkaido potatoes and cuttlefish "shiokara", 函館麦酒と北海道のじゃがいもと塩辛、하코다테 맥주와 홋카이도 감자와 오징어 젓]

約2キロほどの雪道を歩いてホテルに戻った。昼食は持参したカップラーメンとビールですまし、1時間ほど昼寝してから外出。

海岸沿いに歩き、青函連絡船「摩周丸」を外から見て、ホテルに戻った。

4時半ごろから途中のコンビニで買ったつまみと持参したビールを飲みながら大相撲をTVで観戦。

6時に相撲が終わってからふたたび函館山に向かった。徒歩約30分ほどでロープウェー駅に到着。

125人乗りのゴンドラに昼間は私一人だったが、夜は10人弱。天気が悪かったせいか、夜景は思ったよりすばらしくなかった。

雪道を再び徒歩でホテルにもどったが、街路樹に灯りが灯り、きれいだった。
