This tour offers you to enjoy basking in the nature of Mt. Hakodate, strolling Motomachi area, where foreign traders settled when Hakodate opened as one of the first Japanese ports after some 250 years of isolation policy of the Edo government. You'll enjoy houses which combine Western and Japanese styles of architecture on the cobblestone streets. The tour ends at the Northern People's Museum. Hokkaido was called Yezo before 1869 , where the indigenous people Ainu people prevailed from 1200 until around 1860. They had faith in the super natural presence, Kanui.
