Short description: Mountain in Hokkaido, Japan

Mount Hakodate (函館山, Hakodate-yama) is an inactive volcanic^[2] mountain in Hakodate, Hokkaidō, Japan.

The mountain is renowned for its view of the surrounding bay and city. The Michelin Green Guide: Japan gave the experience 3/3 stars in a review, placing it on par with mountain views of Naples and Hong Kong.^[3] The peak is accessible by hiking or by bike, as well as via a regular cable car service.

Geology

Mount Hakodate is a volcanic mountain that was once separated from the mainland. Around 3,000 years ago, a sandbar connected the island to the mainland of Hokkaido, creating an isthmus called a tombolo on which downtown Hakodate is now located. The sandbar made Mount Hakodate a tied island.^[4]
