Picture is worth a thousand words so I'll let you decide on your own if the view is really as good as advertised.
I remember seeing this shot from many Japanese television series and movies.
After spending half an hour or so at Hachiman-zaka Slope (with the majority of time just catching our breathe), we headed over to Motomachi Park (元町公園), which was just a stone's throw away. I was told there's a small dessert shop near the park that we simply couldn't afford to miss.
The name of the dessert shop is called "The second most delicious ice-cream melon bread in the world (世界で２番めにおいしい焼きたてメロンパンアイス函館元町店)". It's an awfully long name to remember but at least we knew exactly what it's good at - ice-cream melon bread.
But who has the most delicious one, I wonder? Or are they trying to be humble?
There were only 6 items on the menu surrounding their melon bread and different flavors of ice-cream.
Nothing beats a freshly baked melon bread that comes straight out of the oven!
This smelt like a delightfully sweet cantaloupe melon. I could smell it from a few metres away!
They had some seriously smooth and rich flavored Hokkaido milk ice-cream sandwiched between the buns. I thought the warm "melon bread" tasted particularly good in a cold and windy day like this.
We got just enough time to see the former city hall of Hakodate next to the park before we drove back to Niseko. And we'll catch an afternoon flight back home. I'm starting to miss Hokkaido already.
