生活環境について

The Hakodate area is like this

Future University Hakodate was founded by the "Hakodate Area Public University Wide-Area Union," which consists of Hakodate City, Kamiiso Town (now Hokuto City), Ono Town (now Hokuto City), Nanae Town, and Toi Town (now Hakodate City). 2000 It was established in [year].
The Hakodate metropolitan area, comprised of these cities and towns, is the core urban area of ​​southern Hokkaido and is also positioned as a hub for exchange between Hokkaido and the Tohoku region. Its total area is 1300 square kilometers, more than twice the size of Tokyo's 23 wards, and it has a total population of approximately 350,000.

Hakodate is this kind of city

This town has developed alongside the port since its opening at the end of the Edo period. It is one of Hokkaido's leading tourist cities, possessing its own unique history and culture, and is also a vital transportation hub for land, air, and sea routes in southern Hokkaido, as well as a major logistics center. 2006 With the extension of the Hokkaido Shinkansen line, there are high expectations for the promotion of tourism not only in southern Hokkaido but throughout Hokkaido.

Compared to other cities in Hokkaido, this area experiences milder winters and less snowfall. Summers are also cool and pleasant, although there have been records of temperatures exceeding 30°C between July and September, resulting in days as hot as those in Honshu.

While famous as a tourist port city, the surrounding area boasts fertile agricultural land, offering idyllic scenery. It's also a "delicious town" blessed with fresh seafood and agricultural products.

This is what the Mihara area is like.

The Mihara district, where the public Future University Hakodate is located, is about a 25-minute drive from Hakodate Station and about 10 minutes north of the Goryokaku area. From the university, situated on a hill, you can enjoy views of Hakodate city, Mount Hakodate, and the Tsugaru Strait. The "backside night view," which rivals the night view from Mount Hakodate, is a must-see.
