Hakodate Motomachi and Suehiro-cho

Hakodate, Hokkaido

On the slopes running from the foot of Mount Hakodate down to the harbor, Western-style churches and consulates from the port's opening stand alongside Japanese townhouses and the hybrid Japanese-Western houses unique to Hakodate. The city calls this port district the birthplace of Hakodate.
