Mount Hakodate—locally, “Hakodate-san"—feels like the center of the world. The Japanese understand the power of mountains, maybe because so many of their mountains have the bad habit of blowing up. (That’s happened here at Mount Hakodate, too.) Take the cable car up the big volcanic hill for a breathtaking view of the town and ocean.
