Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō, literally "Northern Sea Circuit") (Japanese: [hokkaꜜidoː] ( listen)), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is the second largest island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu. The two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city. About 43 km north of Hokkaido lies Sakhalin Island, Russia, whereas to its east and north-east are the disputed Kuril Islands.

Many foreign traders settled in this neighborhood in the mid 1800s, which still contains a number of foreign buildings, including the Russian Orthodox Church and the Chinese Memorial Hall.
Love the scenery there and also the building. Is a must to go if you are at Hakodate! After visiting the morning market, you may continue with the Red Brick Warehouse, where you can see the old warehouse although it has been refurbished. You also can buy lots of souvenirs here and taste delicious desserts here. About 10 minutes walk, you will find the slopes streets at Motomachi. You can take the city tram to the last stop and walk to Motomachi, you can see each slopes with different views.

What a wonderful place to visit in any season. Spent several hours here and never gets old. Lots of paths and lot of soft cream shops as well.

Extensive boardwalk meanders through a section of the marsh. Unusual marsh flowers were out and there were birds to watch as well
