Kyū-Igirisu Ryōjikan

Kyū-Hakodate Kukōkaidō
The old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward is an ornate mansion awash in pale blues and yellows that reigns regally over the district. Inside are items of historical interest relating to the city, although the main appeal is the wonderful colonial-style architecture – and the opportunity for visitors to dress up! In true Japanese fashion, you can indulge in a bit of costume play by donning a Meiji-era high-collar dress, and prancing around the estate like a reigning monarch.
