Nanae Town, immediately north of Hakodate, is home to Onuma Quasi-National Park — one of Japan's New Three Views. The stunning landscape formed by three lake groups (Onuma, Konuma, and Junsainuma) with the active volcano Mt. Komagatake as backdrop is breathtaking in every season, offering cycling and sightseeing boat cruises. Spring cherry blossoms, summer canoeing, autumn foliage, and winter smelt fishing provide year-round natural experiences, making it a perfect stopover when visiting Hakodate. Onuma dango, a beloved sweet treat crafted since the Meiji era to resemble the lake's islands and waters, is a must-buy local specialty. Just 30 minutes from Hakodate by car, Onuma is supremely accessible.

Hakodate City

Hakodate City, at the southern tip of Hokkaido, is a historic port city that flourished as an international trade hub from the end of the Edo period through the Meiji era. The panoramic night view from Mt. Hakodate is celebrated as one of the world's three great night views, drawing millions with its million-dollar vista of twin bays. Goryokaku, the star-shaped Western-style fortress, the European and American architecture of Motomachi, and the Hakodate Morning Market's fresh salmon roe, crab, and squid make Hakodate an exceptional destination. With excellent shinkansen access, Hakodate is the main gateway to southern Hokkaido.

Esashi Town

Esashi Town, in the Hiyama Sub-prefecture at the far southwestern tip of Hokkaido, is a historic port town steeped in culture. Esashi Oiwake, one of Japan's three great folk songs, is a haunting, elegiac melody performed with great virtuosity, and the Esashi Oiwake National Competition held each September draws master singers from across the country. Esashi is part of Japan Heritage 'Ikimen' — the network of Kitamaebune (merchant ship) port towns that thrived on herring trade in the Edo period. The Kaiyo Maru Memorial Museum, housing a full-scale replica of the Boshin War-era warship, adds historical drama as the setting...

Muroran City

Muroran City, on the Iburi peninsula of southwestern Hokkaido, is the industrial heartland of Hokkaido — a city where massive steel, chemical and oil refineries cluster on a dramatic harbor peninsula jutting into the Pacific Ocean. After dark, the resulting 'industrial nightscape' — designated as a Japan Night View Heritage site — is a genuinely spectacular fusion of harbor reflections and factory lights, a sight that has become increasingly celebrated on social media in recent years. 'Hakucho Bridge' (White Swan Bridge), spanning 1,380 metres as the longest suspension bridge in eastern Japan, offers dramatic day and night panoramas of Muroran...

Date City

Date City, in the Iburi region of southwestern Hokkaido, is nicknamed 'the Shonan of Hokkaido' for its remarkably mild climate. The city was founded by the Watari-Date clan from the Sendai Domain, and its Edo-period heritage lends it a gentler, more refined atmosphere than much of Hokkaido. The Kitakogane Shell Mound (a national historic site) preserves Jomon-era traces. One of Hokkaido's few areas where plum trees thrive, Date stages a rare and delightful plum blossom season in spring. With Mt. Usu, Mt. Showa-shinzan, and Lake Toya visible on the horizon, the city enjoys one of the best panoramic positions in...
