Hakodate is located in the centre of Kameda peninsula. The city is overlooked by Mount Hakodate, a lumpy, forested mountain whose summit can be reached by hiking trail, cable car, or car. The night view from the summit is renowned in Japan as one of the best in the country, and one of the top three in the world along with Hong Kong and Naples. An obscure local nickname of the bumpy mountain is Gagyûzan (Mount Cow's Back), alluding to the way the mountain resembles a resting cow.
The former Goryôkaku fort is now used in as a public park and is popular in Hokkaidô for hanami (cherry blossom viewing).
