History
Learn about Hakodate's ancient to modern history
If you are interested in Japan's unique history, such as the Jomon, the Ainu, or the Hakodate War, this course is ideal for you. Though on the outskirts of Hakodate, we particularly suggest you visit the Hakodate Jomon Culture Center to see the only national treasure in Hokkaido.
