Hakodate City is located in the southern part of Hokkaido and belongs to the Oshima General Promotion Bureau. Hakodate Port, which is a good natural port in the southeastern part of the Oshima Peninsula at the southern tip of Hokkaido, has developed as a transportation hub connecting Hokkaido and Honshu, and as a central city in the southern Hokkaido region . It is the location of the Promotion Bureau and is a core city with the third largest population (about 250,000) in Hokkaido after Sapporo and Asahikawa . It is a tourist city visited by nearly 5 million tourists every year, and is ranked first in the attractiveness ranking survey of municipalities. According to the travel guide “Michelin Green Guide Japan” published by French tire manufacturer Michelin, there are more than 20 tourist destinations in Hakodate with one or more stars. In addition to the tourism industry, the Hakodate metropolitan area centered on Motoichi has focused on the fishery industry, food-related industry, and medical welfare, but on the other hand, the population has declined significantly, April 1, 2014. Although all of the city area was designated as a “depopulated area” , the old city area was dedesignated with the enforcement of the new depopulation law in 2021. In the 3rd year of Kyotoku (1454) during the Muromachi period, Masamichi Kono, a powerful family of Tsugaru, built a building on the northern slope of Mt. Because of this, it came to be called “Hakodate”. In addition, there is a theory derived from the Ainu word “hakuchashi” (shallow / fort). In 1869, Ezo became Hokkaido and Hakodate was renamed “Hakodate”. According to one theory, Higashikuze Michiyoshi, who became the secretary of the Hokkaido Development Commission, has a deep knowledge of Chinese characters and did not like the character “box” and changed it to “box”. However, regarding the time when Hakodate was changed to Hakodate, in “Hakodate City History”, even in 1876 (Meiji 9), the Daijo-kan diary mixed Hakodate and Hakodate, so in 1869 (Meiji 2). The theory that the name was changed is out of the question. From immediately after the end of the war until 1952 (Showa 27), the North Sea fishing industry was not possible, but during that time, squid fishing and marine products processing industry emerged. Hakodate City, which was worried about the future of the North Sea fishery, tried to convert to an “industrial production city”, but due to the oil crisis, it changed from focusing on “industrial urbanization” and “economic development” to focusing on the “living environment” of the citizens. It changed. In particular, he put a lot of effort into tourism policy that utilizes the nature conservation and historical environment of Mt. Hakodate. In addition, in order to take advantage of the regional characteristics of Hakodate, the “Hakodate International Fisheries and Marine City Concept” was formulated in 2003, and it was certified as a “Marine Frontier Science and Technology Research Special Zone” as a special structural reform zone. We are aiming to form a new city by strengthening cooperation between industry, academia and government.
