    Hokkaido Hakodateshi Funamichou 17-3
    This building has red brick walls, white window frames and a blue roof. The charming building which was built on the Saiwai-zaka slope leading up to the foot of Mt. Hakodate is the former Russian consulate. After the opening of Hakodate, Goshkevich arrived as the first Russian consul. After repeated construction and fire, the present building as it is seen now, was completed in 1908. It became a Soviet Union consular office after the Russian Revolution but closed in 1944. Currently you can only see the outside of the building while the luxuriously decorated interior remains closed to the public.

  • Japan's oldest concrete utility pole
    Travel / Tourism
    Hokkaido Hakodateshi Suehirochou 15-1
    In 1923, when a new reinforced concrete building was constructed to serve as the Hakodate Branch of the former Hokkaido Takushoku Bank, the Bank provided the funding for Hakodate Electric Co., Ltd. (now Hokkaido Electric Power) to erect a new concrete utility pole to link the new building up to the electric power supply while maintaining the same visual aesthetic as the building itself. Situated at the bottom of Nijukken-saka hill, the utility pole is still in use to this day, making the oldest concrete utility pole in Japan.
  • North Canal
    Travel / Tourism
    Hokkaido Otarushi Ironai 3
    Otaru Canal played an important role in Hokkaido’s development as the “Gateway to Hokkaido.” Small working boats can still be seen moored along the northern section of the Canal (known as the North Canal), which is lined with warehouses. With scenes that recall the past, this area of Otaru is very evocative.

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
