    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!

    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.
