Old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward

An Important Cultural Property Harmonizing East and West

Hakodate Ward’s Old Public Hall looks over Hakodate Port and is a Nationally Important Cultural Property designed in a distinctive symmetrical style. This blueish-grey and yellow building, completed in 1910, is a glamorous sight to behold from the bottom of the Motoizaka Slope.
