Description
Hakodate is a medium-sized city in southern Hokkaido, Japan. On this unique experience, we will begin our tour at the top of the Nijikken-zaka slope near a Buddhist Temple and end in front of the old public hall of the Hakodate Ward, a reminder that Hakodate used to be prosperous in the 20th century. It will also cover churches such as St John's Church, an English priest founded in 1874, and the Nippon Orthodox Church, which is currently under repair. And we will also cross the Chacha-Nobori and the Hachiman Zaka slopes.

I was born and raised here in Hakodate. I studied at Western Washington University in Bellingham, USA, from the year 2000 to 2003. I have been working as a tour guide since 2014. I wanted to use the medium of English language in order to introduce my hometown to foreign visitors. I have learned a lot about Hakodate since then. The Motomachi area is a must-visit attraction for tourists visiting Hakodate. I hope to share the area with you.
