It's 500 yen to get in. I think it was totally worth it. This is a reproduction of the previous magistrate's office which was torn down. It's a beautiful piece of architecture reminiscent of the buildings you see in samurai movies. You'll learn about Japanese design as well as the process they used to build the reproduction. It turns out they stayed as faithful as they could to the original building, including the masonry, the woods used, etc. The courtyard is also beautiful and the view of the outside gardens can't be beat. It's a nice break from walking around the park.

This former magistrate's office is a good small museum for the history buff, especially those who are interested in the Boshin War. It's nice that this is right in the middle of Goryokaku Park, a former fort.
Good to know history of Hakodate (though it costs). Design and the smell of this building is full of traditional Japanese flavor.
There was snow covering the ice surface of the moat. We entered Hakodate magistrate's office in the middle of the park, which was newly built according to the original design. Nothing fresh and exciting.
Beautiful old traditional Japanese building in the middle of Goryokaku Park. There is a small museum exhibition inside but it costs 500 to enter.
Amazing place to learn a bit of history about the region.
