The surrounding area of Hakodate is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Hakodate was one of the first Japanese ports to open to international trade in the 19th century, leading to a unique blend of Western and Japanese architecture in parts of the city. The closest major landmark is the iconic Hakodate Mountain (also known as Mount Hakodate), famous for its spectacular night view, considered one of Japan's three best nightscapes.
