Former British Consulate of Hakodate
旧イギリス領事館
A white English-style consulate completed in 1913, now the Hakodate Port Opening Museum, with a rose garden and an English afternoon tea room.
The Former British Consulate served as Britain's consulate in Hakodate until it closed in 1934. Its white walls and blue window frames in the English style are well preserved. Today it houses the Hakodate Port Opening Museum, which tells the story of the port's opening, with a reconstructed consular office and living room. The English rose garden in the courtyard blooms in June and July, and the attached tea room, Victorian Rose, serves English afternoon tea. Admission is about 300 yen. Open 9:00-19:00 (until 17:00 from November to March). Located below Motomachi Park, about a 2-minute walk from the Old Public Hall. A combined ticket covering several museums in the western district is available.
