When the weather is good, you can overlook the port and the wide sea view from Motomachi Park. There are also cultural heritage nearby, such as the Hakodate District Public Hall and the old Hokkaido Government Hakodate Branch Office. Hakodate, located in southern Hokkaido, was the first trading port opened in Japan in 1859, along with Yokohama and Nagasaki Port. Due to the influence of foreign culture in the early days, many Japanese-Western and Western churches, government buildings and other buildings were built.
