There are several famous buildings in the Motomachi area. The Old British Consulate of Hakodate is one of them. The building is used as a museum now. It has a beautiful garden outside. I was enchanted by the lovely roses.

In the Motomachi area, there is a gift shop called Usukeshi no Yakata, which sells delicious ice cream.

My husband and I ate ice cream, as we had done at the same place on our honeymoon more than 10 years ago. Hakodate has been and will always be my dream place!
