ABOUT HAKODATE
| Hakodate (函館)
is Hokkaido's third largest city, located at the
island's southern tip. Hakodate is best known for the
spectacular views to be enjoyed from Mount Hakodate and
its delicious, fresh seafood. As one of the first
Japanese harbor cities to be opened to international
trade after the country's era of isolation, Hakodate has
experienced notable influence from overseas, and the
foreign population's former residential district and a
Western style fort are among its main tourist
attractions. Onuma Park, a quasi-national park with
beautiful, island dotted lakes, is located only half an
hour north of Hakodate and makes a nice side trip or a
stop along the journey between Hakodate and Sapporo. (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5350.html)
