Hakodate, one of Japan's first port opening to international influence.Foreign cultures were quickly adopted here, and it thrived as a trading hub. Even today, the streets are adorned with historically valuable Japanese and Western-style architecture, and Japanese and foreign cultures coexist.
Despite being conveniently accessible, just a 20-minute drive from the airport to the city center, Hakodate maintains close proximity to nature, including mountains and the sea. Abundant in hot springs and rich in resources, it is a town of historical and natural wealth.

A lodging standing near Hakodate Port, limited to one group per day.
Situated in the "Old Town" with a blend of Japanese and Western-style architecture dating back to the Meiji era and cobblestone alleyways. The building, erected in 1885 as a ferryman's shop, has been revitalized. Despite being within walking distance of popular attractions such as the morning market, the red brick warehouses, and the Hakodate Ropeway, it is located in a tranquil area.
Nestled along the historic Daisanzaka slope in the Motomachi district of Hakodate, Homm is a small café-restaurant set within a space that honors the character of its historic building. Homm offers house-made dishes crafted with ingredients sourced across Hokkaido and the Donan region, alongside Scandinavian-style waffles, coffee, and natural wine. Mornings bring soft light and a quiet pace — ideal for coffee or a leisurely brunch. Afternoons are best spent over waffles, coffee, and light fare while evenings take on the atmosphere of a neighborhood bistro, where good food and wine encourage longer conversations. A place to slow down and settle in, between walks along Hachimanazaka and the streets of Motomachi.
