I'll be honest I only know of it because one time I walked past it from Ochanomizu station on my way to a business meeting. The Hakodate one looks nice though.
The only time I've been to Hokkaido we flew to Hakodate airport, but we didn't see the city because we went there to go skiing. I'd like to go see more
I recommend to add a swim at Oomori beach, a walk to Cape Tachimachi , from there walking up Mt. Hakodate ending the day at the open air small Izakaya alleyways called Daimon Yokocho . 5 minutes walk from Hakodate station.
Hakodate is definitely worth visiting, as is the rest of Hokkaido. However, we went at the end of July and there were big crowds. The view point at the top of the ropeway, and the ropeway itself, were heaving with visitors, which ruined the experience for me. I guess we made a mistake going during the school holidays :(
I only know of one other Russian Orthodox church in Japan. It's the Nikolaido in Tokyo next to Meiji University - https://visit-chiyoda.tokyo/app/en/spot/detail/470

My son is stationed in Aomori & said it is one of his favorite cities in his travels all over Japan. He’s been 3 times.
