点评:We visited during the ropeway’s annual maintenance period at the end of October, which we weren’t aware of until we got to Hakodate. This meant that you could only get to and from the observatory by bus. We got on a few stops from Hakodate Station, so the bus was already completely packed and we couldn’t even get on the first one. We got to the observatory just before sunset and it was absolute madness — people were crowded on the railings taking photos and didn’t move until well after sunset. Once the tour groups started leaving the crowd thinned out and we were able to take some nice photos. We then had to wait an hour in line for a bus back down the mountain. The view is absolutely stunning, but I recommend checking the ropeway is running and heading up there either a few hours before or after sunset to avoid the peak crowds.
翻译:我们在10月底前往参观,恰逢缆车的年度维护期,这一点直到到了函馆我们才得知。因此,只能乘坐巴士往返于观景台。我们在离函馆站几个站的地方上车,结果巴士早已挤得水泄不通,我们连第一班车都挤不上去。我们在日落前刚赶到观景台,那里简直乱成一团——人们挤在栏杆旁拍照,直到日落后许久都不肯离开。随着旅游团陆续离开,人群也渐渐散去,我们这才得以拍到一些不错的照片。之后我们又排了一个小时的队,才等到下山的公车。那里的景色简直美得令人窒息,不过我建议事先确认缆车是否正常运行,并选择在日落前或日落后几小时前往,以避开人流高峰。
