Okushiri Airport
An exotic, retro town Hakodate Airport & Okushiri Airport Area
Hakodate opened its doors early on as a supply center for the United States and Russia, and has continued to grow along with the development of the port. The Motomachi district, which stretches to the foot of Mount Hakodate, is lined with Russian and British architectural styles and is popular for its exotic atmosphere.
It is also famous for the last battle of the Meiji government that took place at Goryokaku. The area is famous for its cherry blossoms in spring.
Okushiri Island offers crystal clear waters and pristine nature.
You can enjoy various marine activities, cycling, park golf, camping, and fishing among other outdoor activities. The island’s gourmet cuisine includes the ocean’s bounty such as sea urchin and abalone, the mountain’s bounty such as butterbur and bracken, wine, and wagyu beef. A lap around the island is about 66 km and can be travelled by bus, hired car, rental car, or rental bicycle to enjoy unique rock formations, 100-year-old beech forests, history, lifestyle, and culture.
