A workshop on the first floor of the Hakodate Meiji-kan, a historic building that served as the Hakodate Post Office for about 50 years from 1911. The original music box can be produced by combining the parts of the music box base (with melody) and the ornament at will, which has about 30 songs (summary 1 hour 30 minutes).

It began during the Edo period, when the Matsumae Domain established a banshō on this area to collect taxes on ships and cargo. In the first year of Ansei (1854), it is also the place where Perry, who made a trip to the port of Hakodate, made landfall, making it the starting point of the "Hakodate Open Port Perry Road". In 1926, the Hakodate Water Police Station was built, and in April 2007, the station was redeveloped as the Rinkai Research Institute of Hakodate City, and is now a research facility related to fisheries and oceans.

Information on nature such as plants and animals native to Mount Hakodate, as well as information on walking courses. It is also the starting point of the "Old Mountain Trail Course", so I would like to get a brochure here.

In addition to supporting citizen activities such as citizen exchanges and NPOs, we also provide activities for community development, including tourist information, dissemination of local information, communication in the Hakodate area, and community development. The building, which was a department store of the Taisho era, has a nostalgic atmosphere. In addition, the oldest manual elevator north of Tohoku is extant.

It is said that the name is derived from the Hakodate Hachiman-gū, which used to be located on the top of the slope. In the 1980 s, it became a reputation as a location in commercials, and was nicknamed "Charmy Green no Saka". On the side of the sidewalk, a staircase with a railing is maintained up to Sakagami, making it easy to walk. The Seikan Liaison Ship Memorial Hall Mashu Maru, which is moored in the harbor, can be seen in front, and it is a popular view spot for the night view from Mount Hakodate.

A quaint brick warehouse built in the late Meiji period was converted into a glass workshop. You can tour the inside of the workshop, and you can see the process of making blown glass in close proximity. In addition, applicants are 2,700 yen per blowing experience per glass (10 minutes required, reservation required, finish the next day), or 1800 yen per sandblasting experience (with glass, 1 hour required, reservation required). The studio also sells original glass works.

Why is Ryoma Sakamoto in Hokkaido? It is a memorial hall where you can see the dreams of Ryoma in Hokkaido, and the strong connection between the Ryoma clan and Hokkaido. The museum also displays some 50-yen sword swords and letters, including Ryoma's Aikata, as well as items related to Shishi from the end of the Tokugawa period. Let's feel the wind of the Bakumatsu Restoration in this Hakodate.

A hands-on memorial hall that conveys a half life to the glory of the Japanese singing world mogul, Saburo Kitajima, who spent his high school days in Hakodate. It is popular to photograph a life-size bronze statue and a powerful stage of the famous song "Matsuri" is also realistically reproduced.

An accessory shop with a retro space inside the Kanamori Red Brick Warehouse, Hakodate History Plaza, where you can experience making a tonbo ball using a glass rod of your favorite color in a store with a retro-modern atmosphere (1 hour summary).

Kadaie Takataya (1769-1827), who carried out the foundation maintenance business of Hakodate and built a shipyard. This museum introduces the life of the Australian merchant who laid the foundation for the prosperity of Japan's first open harbor, Hakokan, with a wealth of about 500 items. Valuable tools and picture drawings showing the life of the day and the marine industry are left, and a replica of Japan's oldest stove (made in 1856) is also on display.
