Hakodate Station Front Camera 2
About the Hakodate Station Camera 2
This is a second camera on the front of JR Hakodate Station, from the same operator as the first. Its distinguishing feature is movement: the angle changes every twenty seconds, so a single stream cycles through several views of the station plaza, the tram tracks and the street.
Hakodate Station is the hub of southern Hokkaido. The city's tram network starts outside, the Hakodate Morning Market selling squid and crab is immediately next door, and buses leave from here for the bay area and Mount Hakodate.
The city is best known for the night view from Mount Hakodate, reached by ropeway and counted among Japan's finest. Closer to the station are the red brick warehouses of the bay district and the hillside streets of Motomachi, where the foreign consulates and churches of the treaty-port era still stand.
