Title: What Is a Private Goryokaku History Tour in Hakodate Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests had a deep interest in Japanese history and took their time exploring Goryokaku and the Magistrate's Office. They asked for very in-depth and detailed explanations covering how Hokkaido came to be, spanning its history from the Edo period through to the present day. Although the cherry blossoms at Goryokaku Park were almost over, some late-blooming cherry trees still remained, which delighted the guests. It was quite crowded during the holiday period, but since we had purchased tickets in advance at a convenience store, we were able to tour smoothly without having to wait in line. For lunch we had soba and udon, which the guests enjoyed very much.

This private tour was arranged through [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/), one of Japan's largest networks of government-licensed, English-speaking private tour guides, serving all 47 prefectures.
