View off Mount Hakodate is very overrated I must say. Multiple sources have quoted it to be amongst the top 3 best night view in the world. Although it is still a nice view nevertheless, it pales in comparison to views off Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. Maybe it is just me, or probably the mist.
Having said all that, it is still worth the time and money up the mountain since there is really nothing much you can do either at night in Hakodate. =(

Fine night! We could see nice Hakodate view.
I heard that Hong Kong, Napoli and Hakodate are top three night view cities in the world.
Update!
Changed photo away from the daft version originally posted. Again, another example of the strange and rather annoying habit of the average Japanese tourism promoter to compare its local features to those of other supposedly "world-class" cities in order to somehow raise its popularity and recognition. Well, however its marketed, still here is a nice view and already nationally well-known as a romantic date spot.

Nice place with good ambience. One of the few places that closes "late" at 1030 pm.
Try the Hakodate home brewed beer, I kinda like it.
