In the western section of the city at the foot of Mount Hakodate, “Hakodate Illumination” commenced. A total of 160,000 LED lightbulbs adorn streetside trees along the four major streets of Nijukken-zaka, Hachiman-Zaka, Kaiko-Dori, and Motoizaka. A male company employee on vacation from Sapporo who was taking photographs at Hachiman-Zaka commented, “The colors are unified with a simple layout that is very beautiful.”
