Hello, Ballet Beauties,
Today, I want to introduce a little about my hometown, Hakodate city, in Hokkaido, Japan.
After a long-held three years, finally, I could comfortably visit my family and friends. This trip was exceptional, and I'm super thankful that we could reconnect, filling the time we missed…
As most people know, Japan has five main islands. Hokkaido is the Northernmost prefecture, which is Japan's send largest island. Hokkaido is known for high-quality fresh seafood, not just limited to Uni (sea urchin) or Scallops. As a result, Hokkaido is one of the popular destinations for a domestic getaway. My home city is at the southern tip of Hokkaido. The town is best known for its highly acclaimed dramatic night view from Mount Hakodate and delicious fresh seafood.
Hakodate was Japan's first city to open a port to foreign trade in 1859. After opening the port of Hakodate, the city absorbed various countries' cultures. As a result, many western influenced architecture in the area called Motomachi.
Also, there is a Goryoukaku Fort in the center of Hakodate. This Goryoukaku is designed in a beautiful star shape. You can experience spectacular cherry blossoms at this park or the Goryoukaku tower.
I hope you have enjoyed getting to know my home and following my Ballet Beautiful journey.
Best wishes,
Yuki
Glad to know more about Yuki, it is a beautiful country and hometown???
It was good to learn a little about a part of a country I don't know much about. The images are beautiful. Also, I keep meaning to write that I had a private lesson with Yuki once and she was so helpful; I've been wanting to pass the positive praise but keep forgetting I hope it's okay to write it now.
Beautiful and the Meiji-kan ballet space is so inspiring. Hope you had a wonderful time and thank you so much, Yuki!
This was such a fun visual tour, thank you for sharing your beautiful hometown! Such beautiful and interesting information with photos. I'm hoping to find classes with Yuki!
