Motomachi Park, Historical park in Motomachi district, Hakodate, Japan
The park extends over 1.03 hectares at the foot of Mount Hakodate, offering views of the port and multiple historical wooden buildings.
The park stands on the location where Masayuki Kono built a fortress in 1454, which led to the naming of Hakodate due to its box-like structure.
The Former Hokkaido Government Hakodate Branch Office and Former Development Commission Library within the park demonstrate the architectural style of early modern Japan.
The park includes accessible restrooms, a parking space for visitors with disabilities, and connects to public transport through the Suehiro-cho tram stop.
The park houses four statues commemorating influential figures who contributed private funds to develop Hakodate's urban infrastructure in the late 1800s.
