About this place
Mount Hakodate rises at the end of the peninsula that Hakodate sits on. Most people come for the summit view: the city narrowing to an isthmus with water on both sides.
The summit road is closed to private cars during the evening hours in season; in that window you take the ropeway or a bus instead. Check the current schedule before driving up. The mapcode marks the summit observation deck; if the road is shut, navigate to the ropeway base station instead. The ropeway itself is closed for maintenance from 20 October to 8 November 2026.

This site covers 167 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot and the restaurant you booked need mapcodes too, and they are not on this list. The app converts any Japanese address or place name, in English, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Free.
How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Mt. Hakodate?
- The mapcode is 86 009 749*48, pointing at a spot in 北海道. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 41.759460, 140.704652. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
