The city narrows between Hakodate Bay and the open strait. The shape makes the map immediately recognisable and gives it a striking symmetry.

Map
Hakodate lies at the southern tip of Hokkaido, and its shape from above is one of the most distinctive in Japan. The old city sits on a slender isthmus between two stretches of water and ends at Mount Hakodate, a wooded peak that rises steeply at the point. The famous night view from the summit shows the lit streets pinched into a narrow waist between dark water on both sides.
Hakodate was one of the first Japanese ports opened to foreign trade, in 1859. In the Motomachi district, on the lower slopes of the mountain, Western-style churches and former consulates still line the steep streets that run down to the harbour. Inland stands Goryokaku, a star-shaped fortress completed in the 1860s and the site of the final battle of the Boshin War.
A Hakodate map poster frames all of this in one memorable image: the mountain, the isthmus, the harbour and the geometric fort. Tram lines trace their way through the streets, and the coastline on both sides gives the composition a strong natural outline. Few city shapes are as graphic on a wall.
The city narrows between Hakodate Bay and the open strait. The shape makes the map immediately recognisable and gives it a striking symmetry.
The forested peak at the tip of the peninsula has almost no streets. It forms a dark, rounded mass, framed by the grid of Motomachi at its foot.
The five-pointed star fort, with its moat intact, is one of the most distinctive shapes on any Japanese map and stands out clearly among the surrounding blocks.

From wanem Hakodate
Hakodate's outline is striking enough to work as pure graphic design, which is why the map suits minimalist interiors so well. It appeals to travellers who remember the night view, to people from Hokkaido and to anyone who loves port cities.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with the date of a trip. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, then download six print sizes for $9 or order a matte printed poster.
