Day 3 PM : Hakodate Meijikan Post Office

Fifth stop of the day – Hakodate Meijikan Post Office
Right next to Hakodate Seafood Market is Hakodate Meijikan Post Office. Built in 1911, this red brick building is now converted into retail space with cafes, restaurants, a glassware studio and a music box shop. The glassware studio has a large collection of beautiful glassware for sale as souvenirs. Due to time constraint, we didn’t have time to check the music box shop and its collection of musicboxes =(
