Hakodate Motomachi Churches are a rare exotic tourist spot in Japan, formed by the activities of foreign missionaries that began in the mid-19th century. This area is dotted with churches of different denominations, such as the Catholic Motomachi Church, Hakodate Orthodox Church, and Hakodate St. John's Church, and they attract visitors with their unique atmosphere. The Catholic Motomachi Church is characterized by its Gothic architecture, and the beauty of its red brick exterior and stained glass in particular catches the eye of visitors. On the other hand, the Hakodate Orthodox Church is a typical example of Byzantine architecture influenced by the Russian Orthodox Church, with its impressive white walls and blue dome. Hakodate St. John's Church is a Protestant church that harmonizes wooden architecture with a simple design, and is loved by locals for its history. The formation of these churches was largely influenced by Hakodate's opening of its port in 1859. Hakodate developed as a hub for international trade, and many foreigners came to live there, and their culture and religion shaped the cityscape. The coexistence of different religions and their acceptance as part of the community is a sight rarely seen anywhere else in Japan. The entire Motomachi area is decorated with historical buildings, and a stroll around the churches gives you a sense of the Hakodate cityscape of the time, where foreign cultures blended together. If you walk up the slope, you can get a panoramic view of the Tsugaru Strait, and beautiful views unfold at any time of the day or night. In this way, the Hakodate Motomachi Churches are a special place that is not only beautiful in architecture, but also interwoven with historical and cultural backgrounds.
