Hakodate Meijikan
A Charming Glimpse into History
Step back in time at Hakodate Meijikan, a beautiful red-brick building constructed in 1911 (Meiji 44) as the former Hakodate Post Office. With its spacious, open atrium and elegant historic design, the building offers a unique atmosphere that blends Meiji-era charm with modern shopping.
Carefully preserved to retain its original form, Hakodate Meijikan now functions as a nostalgic shopping mall. Inside, you'll find a delightful selection of music boxes, glassware, teddy bears, and other handcrafted items—making it a perfect spot to find one-of-a-kind souvenirs and gifts.
Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking to experience a different side of Hokkaido, this cultural gem in Hakodate invites you to explore its timeless appeal.
