Hi, I’m Kotaro. Today I will introduce you to Mt. Hakodate.

Mt. Hakodate is 334m high and is located to the west of Hakodate city. If you see the night view of Hakodate city from this mountain, you will be amazed. Because night view of Hakodate is so beautiful that it is introduced the second edition of the “Michelin Green Guide” as three stars!

When you want to go to the summit of Mt. Hakodate, you should climb. There are a ropeway, but it is a little expensive. So you should climb there and come back by ropeway. This is a little-known story, Mt. Hakodate was used as a military fortress to protect the port of Hakodate. So you can still see some military facilities.

Mt. Hakodate was originally an island, but over the years it became connected to the land. The topography of the island is that of a land-linked island, which is rare in the world. 

In this way, Mt. Hakodate has a lot of attractions. You should go there. You will like it.
