Bonus Update: Hokkaido photos: Goryokaku

The journey to Goryokaku was an interesting one.  My legs were very tired the entire time, but it was a beautiful little fort, full of nature and traditional Japanese design.  The magistrates house is like what I want to live in when I die.  It's wondrous.  As was the sight of Goryokaku from the great tower.

Goryokaku is a beautiful place






I want a house like this






Despite this place being a recreation, it's functionally brand new due to how recently it was remade.


Hey, look, I'm the magistrate now.


Love me some models






The tower is really impressive




Welcome to Diorama city, telling the tale of Goryokaku.  I do love dioramas
















The view is pretty breathtaking

  1. Very cool! I understand the original fort was built in 1855. Yes?
