Hakodate Port was one of the first in Japan to open to international trade in the mid-19th century. Once filled with ships from around the world, it transformed Hakodate into a cosmopolitan city. Today, the red-brick warehouses along the waterfront remain as enduring symbols of that era, blending history with modern attractions.

The Old British Consulate of Hakodate, built in 1859, reflects the city’s early role in international diplomacy. Inside, restored rooms and exhibitions illustrate the lives of diplomats and the exchanges that connected Hakodate with the wider world.

The Motomachi Preservation District is home to Western-style residences, churches, and consulates that reflect Hakodate’s role as a cultural crossroads. Its sloping streets lined with historic buildings preserve the atmosphere of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Hakodate became a meeting point of East and West.
