A Star-Shaped Fort

Goryōkaku was built in 1866 as Japan's first Western-style fortress, a five-pointed star designed against cannon fire. Within three years it had been the capital of the short-lived Republic of Ezo, which lasted about five months.

The clock: Hakodate keeps UTC+9. Its night view from Mount Hakodate is often ranked among the best in Japan, helped by the city sitting on a narrow isthmus with water on both sides.
