All Reviews of Hachimanzaka Slope

No matter what season I visit Hakodate, I always head to Hachimanzaka Slope first and climb straight up the hill. As I walk uphill, I keep looking back at the harbor. Once I reach the top, I slowly make my way along the street, admiring the many distinctive buildings. At dusk, it’s time to head up the mountain for the night view! Looking at the beautiful nightscape makes me feel like I really am a millionaire! Hakodate is a city that never stops drawing me back!

For one of the most iconic romantic street views, Hachimanzaka Slope, which stretches straight toward the harbor, is definitely the top place to visit.
As soon as you reach the top of this famous slope and look down, you’ll see a straight stone-paved road lined with lush green trees. The view extends all the way to the end, where it perfectly meets the deep blue waters of Hakodate Bay and the blue sky.
This uniquely magnificent composition of a straight street leading directly to the sea is not only visually striking, but also a popular filming location for many classic movies and commercials.
Standing on the slope in the sea breeze and looking at the beautiful scene created by the ships in the distant harbor, blue sky, and white clouds makes you want to slow down and take it all in.
I highly recommend including Hachimanzaka Slope in your walking itinerary around Motomachi. Whether you’re admiring the classic view of the seaside slope or capturing the beauty of its straight, far-reaching perspective, it will add a captivating visual experience to your trip!

Hachimanzaka Slope is famous for its beautiful view down the straight slope toward Hakodate Port. From the top, you can take in the harbor, the sea, and the moored ships. It has been used as a filming location for many movies, Japanese TV dramas, and commercials.

One of the filming locations featured in Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram. You can visit the iconic spot where Conan and Heiji were nearly hit by a streetcar, then stroll among historic buildings with an international flair.

From the top of Hachimanzaka Slope, the sweeping view of the harbor and cityscape is absolutely captivating. Nearby is Funadama Shrine, the oldest shrine in Hokkaido, which is also well worth a visit.

Walking along this street, you get to experience the unique parallel slope of Hachimanzaka, paved with stone bricks. The Hachimanzaka I walked on is actually the most popular street in Hakodate. I really recommend coming here to soak up the artsy vibes!
