HAKODATE

TOPOGRAPHY

The Inner Harbor is bounded by land on the north, east and south sides. The most prominent terrain feature close to the port is 1,099 ft (335 m) high Goten Mountain, located on a peninsula just south of the Inner Harbor (Figures V-172 and V-173). Most of the other terrain near the port is low-lying. Outside an approximate 5 nmi radius, the terrain rises significantly. Elevations exceeding 3,609 ft (1,100 m) occur within 9 nmi to the northeast. Elevations exceeding 984 ft (300 m) exist northwest of Hakodate Bay, within 10 nmi of the port.
