Winter General has come./冬将軍到来。
Winter General arrived at Hakodate and gave snow coats to the town. Since November 12, snow started to fall and the following day, snow covered the town.
Walking on the street covered with snow is slippery, especially when you wear sneakers as below. When I was walking with them, I lost my balance and almost fell down.
People living with snow winter wear rubber-soled shoes as below.
I think it's difficult for tourists to prepare rubber-soled shoes in advance. I'd like to recommend to visit a shoe shop to look for a rubber-sole attachment or spike belts. Please be careful not to slip and fall!
Another tip for winter trip. The photo below shows disposable pocket warmers. You can get them at any convenience stores or drug store with each 50yen or so. A sticker type warmer is convenient. Just unbag a warmer, it generates heat.

Green tea ice cream at Kyu-chayatei/旧茶屋亭の抹茶ソフト
A few minutes walk toward Mt. Hakodate from Meijikan, the former post office building, you can find this tea room, Kyu-chayatei(Literally means "former tea room").
This tea room has an ice cream stand and you can choose what you want in English. You are supposed to buy a ticket with vending machine and the menu on it is bilingual.
When I bought green tea flavor ice cream, a wooden spoon was provided.
