[2025 Hakodate Attraction] Travel Guide for Motomachi (Updated May)

Cherry blossoms are the whispers of spring. In Hakodate, each petal is touched by sea mist and morning light. This port city blends Western influences and Eastern charm into the cherry blossoms, weaving a pale pink and white scroll. On the first day, head to Goryokaku, a star-shaped fortress surrounded by thousands of Somei Yoshino cherry trees. Ascend the tower for a panoramic view, and the fortress transforms into a medal falling into a pink sea of clouds. Fallen petals float on the moat, and visitors stroll slowly along the wooden bridge with umbrellas. Turn a corner to encounter a girl in a kimono, her sleeves and the drooping branches swaying in the breeze, and the essence of spring flows from the folds. The next morning, sunlight spills over Mount Hakodate. Hike to Hakodate Park, where century-old weeping cherry trees spread out their massive floral domes. The bark is cracked like an old man's hand, holding up a tree full of youthful beauty. In the afternoon, a streetcar clangs along Motomachi Slope, and at the end of Hachiman Slope, the cherry blossoms meet the sea. In the evening, take the cable car up the mountain. As dusk falls, millions of lights gradually light up, and the night cherry blossoms float semi-transparently in the halo of colored lights, like a beaded curtain hanging from the heavenly market. On the third day, head to Yukura Shrine. The stone steps of the approach are covered with a pale red hue. The sound of an ancient bell startles the birds, and the petals shaken off as they flap their wings scatter into the morning incense smoke. In the afternoon, stroll through the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse. The scent of the sea mixes with the sweetness of cherry blossoms, seeping into the brick cracks. Find a cafe to sit down, and outside the glass window, the shadows of the flowers are mottled. A salted cherry blossom floats in the latte in your cup. Three days is short, but enough to engrave the spring of Hakodate into your memory. The cherry blossoms here are not as bright as those in Kyoto, but they have a unique clarity that has been washed by the sea breeze. When the last petal falls into the Tsugaru Strait, the reflections of the star-shaped castle, the light spots at the end of the slope, and the whispers of the night cherry blossoms and lights will eventually transform into a gentle itch in your heart when the spring breeze rises again in some year.

[Access] All statues are about a 7-minute walk from Suehirocho Station on the city tram [Points] ~ Remembering the people connected to Hakodate ~ Next to the former Hokkaido Prefectural Government Hakodate Branch Office building are statues of Imai Ichiemon, Hirata Bun'emon, Watanabe Kumashiro, and Hiratsuka Tokizo, who contributed to the formation of Hakodate by donating their personal wealth. In the Bay Area, there is also a statue of Niijima Jo, who set foot in Hakodate at the end of the Edo period in 1864, when the city was developing as an international trading city, and broke the ban on national isolation and traveled to the United States. It is interesting to wonder how Niijima Jo spent his 40-day stay in Hakodate. As you can see, there are statues of people who were active in this area in the Hakodate Motomachi area, so try looking for them while you take a walk. *Information as of June 2023.

I finally went to a restaurant that I've been wanting to go to since it opened last year~🌊💕 It's the former site of the nostalgic "Tycoon". I'd give it two stars for the taste and value for money, and three stars for the location and the service of the staff⭐️⭐️⭐️. It's produced by #unicoffeeroastery, so I also recommend the free-flow hot coffee♡ The night view is absolutely beautiful at night and on the terrace, so it's the best place for a date when it warms up💖 #KanagawaGourmet #YokohamaGourmet #PhotogenicSpot #RecommendedForDates #Gourmet #Gourmet #Coffee #CafeWithTerrace

#trip2023 The largest of Japan's three major Chinatowns, Yokohama Chinatown is lined with over 600 stores. On the hillside, you'll find exotic streetscapes such as Western-style buildings and the foreign cemetery, and down the hill is Motomachi Shopping Street, the birthplace of Hamatora fashion. This is an area you can't miss when visiting Yokohama.

[Access] Minatomirai Line: Just a few steps from Motomachi-Chukagai Station to the entrance of Motomachi-dori [Charm] ~Yokohama's fashion capital~ Motomachi-dori is famous for shops such as FUKUZO and Kitamura, which were the catalysts for the creation of the fashion style known as "Hamatora." Among the many shops with a long history, there are also modern cafes such as Starbucks, making it a very attractive town. If you're in the area, be sure to visit. *Information current as of November 2022. #AutumnTravel #YokohamaTourism

[Access] About a 3-minute walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line [Charm] ~A bakery with a sense of history~ Uchikipan is a long-established bakery that started in Motomachi in 1888. It seems to be loved by locals as well. The bags that the purchased bread is put in are indescribably cute. They seem to have many types of bread, such as white bread, sweet bread, and French bread, but since I went around 4pm, most of it was sold out. I recommend going early. *Information as of November 2022. #AutumnTravel #YokohamaTourism

#YokohamaTourism From Motomachi-Chukagai Station to Ishikawacho Station, Motomachi Shopping Street is a wonderful, completely foreign street. Which is it, Motomachi or Chinatown?! I'm sure a certain celebrity will ask me, but I can't decide between the two, so I'll answer "Both!!" and as you walk around, you'll understand why the station got its name. I think that tolerance is unique to a port town where trade developed. The night view is beautiful and it's not too crowded.

#YokohamaTourism As I mentioned before, the area between JR Ishikawacho Station on the Keihin Tohoku Negishi Line, which connects to the Yamanote Line from Shinagawa and other areas and goes all the way to Omiya and Motomachi Chinatown Station on the Minatomirai Line, which is connected to Shibuya by a single Toyoko Line is the Motomachi Shopping Street, but the backstreets just across the street are lined with casual, exotic shops. Japan is big.

#AutumnTravel The Toyoko Line has been extended, and Motomachi-Chukagai is now the terminus. I remember it used to be Shibuya-Yokohama. Or maybe it's just a connection. I really can't tell these days. This is the station with the moving Gundam. It's only for a limited time, so I think I should go early? Thirty years ago, Pacifico Yokohama and Landmark Tower were trendy, but it seems to have developed even further. Tokyo is a place where buildings have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, as if they're not really grounded, but Kanagawa seems to be developing steadily. Just somehow.

1-50 Motomachi, Naka-ku, Yokohama Opening hours: 9:00-19:00 Closed on Mondays 10 minutes walk from JR Ishikawacho Station, 3 minutes from Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line. Founded in 1888, this shop is a long-established bakery in Yokohama. It is said to be the birthplace of shokupan (bread). Not only are they good at making shokupan (bread), but their anpan (bean paste buns) are also delicious! They are open until late at night, but on holidays, they may run out of bread after 2:00 p.m., so be sure to buy some early. #Yokohama #bakery

There is a small cafe restaurant on the second floor of a building a little off the middle of Motomachi Street. Kaoris is a cafe where you can drink tea carefully selected by the owner Kaori, but the menu is also excellent. You can eat a lot of vegetables, and even though it's a healthy meal, you'll be very satisfied after eating. The main dish is a grilled plate of carefully selected organic vegetables, but recently Kaori, who has become obsessed with Morocco, has prepared side dishes and soups with a real Moroccan taste, all of which are made without chemical seasonings, but have a deep flavor due to the combination of ingredients and spices, and you'll think, "Oh, this is definitely good for my body!" as you eat them. The homemade bread that comes with the meal is also delicious. It's not only delicious, but also a wonderful meal that will recharge your energy. The store also sells bread, tea, and vegetables that you can take home as souvenirs, which may be another fun thing to do. There are only a few seats, so we recommend making a reservation.

The platform at Motomachi-Chukagai Station, the last stop on the Minatomirai Line, has a somewhat futuristic atmosphere. The ticket gate is small, but when you take the escalator down to the platform from here, the view suddenly opens up, which is very interesting. Minatomirai Station has a similar atmosphere, but this is my personal favorite. #MinatomiraiLine #Yokohama

Even an ordinary underground passageway can become a little interesting with a little trick. The underground passageway leading to Chinatown is also full of colorful advertisements and 3D displays, making it a fun place to visit. It's a place to go to your destination and to recall memories on your way back. #Yokohama #Minatomirai Line
