hows the temps there in nov?

It was around around 10-14°C. However I feel that the numbers are not a good guide as different people feel cold in different temperatures. I was wearing a t-shirt underneath a down feather jacket and I felt comfortable while my wife was wearing 2 layers of clothes underneath a down feather jacket and still felt cold.

1 full day is enough to cover Hakodate Asaichi (morning), Fort Goryokaku (afternoon) and Mount Hakodate (evening), then shopping at Red Brick Warehouses (night).
