[Hokkaido] The former British Consulate that conveys modern culture

The former British Consulate in Hakodate City 🇬🇧
It is currently open to the public as a port opening memorial hall.

Hakodate opened as an international trading port in 1859.

It has suffered several fires since its opening, but the British Consulate has been rebuilt repeatedly.

The current building was built after the last fire.

The British-style building is designated as a tangible cultural heritage of Hakodate City.

At the cafe on the first floor, you can experience British afternoon tea✨
You can enjoy the garden view while eating tea, scones, and sandwiches.

In addition, the building has an exhibition introducing high-class culture, as well as a reproduction of the floor plan from the time of the British Consulate.

There was also an exhibition that compared the old and current streets of Hakodate, which was interesting🙌
