Hakodate 函館

Historic port city

Historical Hakodate sits at the southern tip of Hokkaidō and is known throughout Japan for the city views at night from atop Mt Hakodate, accessed by ropeway.

Hakodate was one of the first cities opened to international trade in 1854 after Japan's Edo Period era of isolation, and has notable foreign influences such as a Western-style residential district that includes a Russian Orthodox Church, the Old British Consulate and the Chinese Memorial Hall.

Fort Goryōkaku is a massive, star-shaped, Western-style fortress built to defend the city - that is now one of Hokkaidō’s top cherry viewing spots.
