Daimon Yokocho

This location is bustling with crowds, both locals and tourists when we visited on a weekday evening. They have so many seafood restaurants, selling fresh crabs, clams, and other meats fresh in stock! The prices can't be beat outside of the country, and is a must-try if you're a tourist visiting Hakodate like us. There are so many restaurants to choose from here, you can never go wrong in where you pick to eat. Do give Daimon Yokocho a visit - you won't regret it!

This outdoor food court has a huge selection restaurants and bar that you can never get tire of even if you just randomly try one every single day. The food is excellent and the service is good. The atmosphere is typical of Japanese izakaya style, so you can relax, get a drink and some food, and just chill out and spend the evening here.

Unfortunately this entire group of food hawkers are discriminatory towards people from other cultures.. This is very bad for tourism in Hakodate. The only plus is that they are polite about it. I am not sure of the legalities of this kind of behaviour in Japan but in other countries it would be dealt with. It is better to find a restaurant that will serve you with dignity and respect than to give money to these people. Thankfully there are other restaurants not too far away that will look after you hospitably.

Small little outlet offering various items on menu. However I recommend their beef Stew which is extremely tasty. Friendly staff. Best to go with the beer or highball. One of the F&B outlet open till 10pm at night (most shop close by 8pm).

A very cosy and friendly teppan hotplate place as if you have a private chef. Worth visiting

A food area comprising of many small restaurants, just like Otaru's Denuki-Koji, but bigger. We came here just for the street photos.

We drank 2 glasses of beer and some food as shown below , its charged about 3500 yen. The chef said the cover charge is 300 or 600 yen per pax. Is it true? Do all the restaurants here have cover charges? Hakodate restaurant shouldn't be so expensive.

A place that you can try the local style of after-work chilling with foods and alcohol drinks. Not much seat for each restaurant as only can fit around 10 to 15 ppl.
