Marutama Goya cafe, Motomachi, near the ropeway base station

Why it is on this site

It ties into Hakodate's real past as an early port with a Russian consulate, which no other listing at this port does.
The cafe is two minutes on foot from the Mt. Hakodate ropeway base station, so the ropeway or the Motomachi slopes follow naturally.
The English city guide during proving time turns waiting into a small walk of the quarter.

Best for

Curious cooks who want a hands-on hour in Motomachi rather than another market or viewpoint.
