The Former British Consulate of Hakodate stands as a well-preserved example of early 20th-century Western architecture in Japan. Visitors can explore period-furnished rooms, including the consul's office and residence, which evoke the daily life of British diplomats stationed in this port city. Exhibits detail Hakodate's role in international trade and diplomacy after the opening of Japan.
