【DETAILS】

The Russian Hotel was in operation from 1863 to 1874, when Hakodate was opening the port as an international trade city.The hotel, run by the couple, Pyotr and Sofia, was a hotel that served as a residence, cafeteria, and inn. It was a lively place with officers when the warships entered the port. After Pyotr passed away in Tokyo, Sofia managed the hotel with Japanese staff. She also ran a ranch to sell milk and pork.  

A regular event named "Russia Hotel'' is aimed at recreating the history of Hakodate filled with lively and enchanting atmosphere involving people of various occupations, Japanese and foreigners. The story goes that the hotel staff of those days returns to life longing for Sofia and performs energetic music and play, inspired by the story of the Russian Hotel's origin.
