About this place
Mount Hakodate rises at the end of the peninsula that Hakodate sits on, and the view from the summit — the city narrowing to an isthmus with water on both sides — is the reason most people come.
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 is for the summit itself, so if the road is shut, navigate to the ropeway base station instead.

This site covers 30 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot, the restaurant you booked — those 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, it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Mt. Hakodate?
- The mapcode is 86 009 019*63, pointing at a spot in 北海道. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 41.752646, 140.701819. 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.
