HAKODATE
This, the most northerly of the old treaty ports of Japan, is situated in the south of Yezo, in the Straits of Tsugaru, which divide that island from Honshiu. The port lies in latitude 41 deg. 47 min. 8 sec. N., and longitude 140 deg. 45 min. 34 sec. E., and the harbour is nearly land-locked. The town clusters at the foot and on the slope of a bold rock known to foreigners as Hakodate Head, 1,106 feet in height. The surrounding country is billy, volcanic, and striking, but the town itself possesses few attractions. A row of fine temples, with lofty picturesque roofs, occupying higher ground than the rest of the town, are the most conspicuous buildings. There are some Public Gardens at the eastern end of the town, which contain a small but interesting Museum. Water- works for supplying the town with pure water were completed in 1889. The climate of Hakodate is healthy and bracing. The hottest month is August, but the thermome ter there rarely rises above 90 degrees Fahr.; in the winter it sometimes sinks to 18 degrees. The mean temperature throughout the year is about 48 degrees. The population of Hakodate is about 85,000. The number of foreign residents on December 31st, 1907, was 319, of whom 48 were British, 64 American, 53 French, 11 German, and 123 Chinese.
The foreign trade of the port is small, but has been steadily growing during the last few years. The value of the imports in 1907 was yen 2,845,480 and exports yen 344,575. One hundred and nineteen steamers of 111,790 tons and 113 sailing vessels (including junks) of 14,898 tons cleared during the year 1908. The agricultural resources of Yezo have been to some extent developed under the auspices of the Kaitakushi, or Colonization Department. The rich pasture lands are well adapted for breeding cattle. In the valuable and extensive fisheries on the coast, however, the chief exports of the future from Hakodate are to be looked for. Increasing quantities of dried fish and seaweed are exported annually, mostly to China. The mineral resources of Yezo are large, and may also some day yield a valuable addition to the exports of this port. About a million and a half tons of coal are annually taken from 41 mines, and the output of the eighteen sulphur mines amounts to about 250,000 tons a year. Manganese is produced to the extent of about five thousand tons a year from five mines between Hakodate and Otaru, and an important export business in this com- modity seems to be developing. Copper has not figured in the export returns since 1904. Timber has during the past few years formed the chief item in the export list, and now represents in value just about half the total. Washing for gold dust has been carried on in Kitami, and the belief is entertained that with proper machinery the gold mines of Hokkaido may be worked with fair profit. They yielded only 68 lbs. in 1908. The kerosene wealth of this district is considerable, and it is even stated the prospects are not inferior to those of Echigo. The places where oil is said to exist are numerous. At Nukimi-Mura on Soya Strait-in the extreme North-oil wells were discovered long ago, and have been worked by hand for some years. The oil, in fact, overflows into the sea, and in stormy weather boats take refuge at Nukimi-Mura, as the sea is rendered smooth by the oil. Oil also exists at Nigori-Kawa, near Hakodate; at Kayamagori, near Shiribeshi; at Itaibetsu, on a tributary of the Urin River (output 800 gallons per day); at Kotamimura and Tsukisama Mura (Imperial property), near Sapporo and near Abashira, where the wells are considered rich.
The output of the district in 1907 was 106,499 gallons. Hakodate is connected with the capital by telegraph, and a line of railway (157 miles) connects Hakodate with Otaru. A railway from Otaru to Sapporo, 22 miles long, was opened to public traffic un the 28th November, 1880, and has since been carried on to Poronai, where are some large coal mines, the total length of the line being 56 miles. A branch to Ikushumbetsu, seven miles, has since been laid and another line from the coal mines to Muroran,
a port on the south-east of the island, a distance of 143 miles, was opened to traffic in July, 1892.
At the station of Oiwake, from which point there is a branch line to Yubari (26 miles), the Tanko Tetsudo Kaisha established ovens for the manufacture of coke. There are now about 900 miles of railway in the Hokkaido.
HAKODATE
The Hakodate Harbour Improvement works were completed in 1900, and a patent slip capable of taking vessels up to 1,500 tons was also finished.
There is also under construction a dry dock to accommodate ships up to 10,000 tons at ordinary spring tides, and at highest spring tides the dock will be capable of receiving the largest battleships in the Japanese Navy. Harbour improvements are also being carried on at Otaru, where a massive breakwater, about 3,500 feet long, is under construction.
In August, 1907, half the city of Hakodate was destroyed by a fire. The number of houses destroyed in the conflagration was ascertained to be 8,977, rendering about 60,000 persons homeless. All the foreign residents with the exception of the American Consular Agent were burns out, saving nothing, and the total loss was estimated at not less than 50,000,000 yen.

Osaka is the second city in Japan in point of size and commercial importance and has not inaptly been termed the Venice of the Far East, owing to the manner in which it is intersected by canals. Considering the extent to which the factory system of indus- trialism now holds sway, the town recalls Manchester rather than Venice. Osaka is essentially Japanese, though a go-ahead and progressive city, and possesses much of interest to the foreign visitor. The population is close upon a million. It is situated in the province of Setsu, and is built on the banks of the river Aji, about five miles from the sea. The river is only navigable for small vessels, and on the opening of the railway to Kobe the foreign trade of Osaka commenced to decline. Almost all the foreign firms which at one time were established in the latter city have removed to Kobe. Hopes were very generally entertained in Osaka of a recovery of the city's lost position in this respect, and to that end a new harbour was partially constructed to accommodate ocean-going steamers. The works have, however, been temporarily abandoned. The most imposing and at the same time the most interesting object to be seen in Osaka is the Castle, erected in 1583 by the famous warrior Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and which was carried by Yeyasu, the founder of the House of Tokugawa Shoguns, after a famous siege in 1615. Though less extensive than that of Tokyo, it is a much grander and more striking edifice, and is indeed, next to that of Nagoya, the finest example of the ancient feudal castles of Japan. It is now occupied by the Osaka garrison, and forms the headquarters of one of the six great military districts, and it has also within its inclosure an extensive military arsenal. The city is the seat of the provincial government, which is called Fucho, in contradistinction to most of the other provincial governments, which are termed Kencho. Osaka is the seat of numerous industries, including cotton spinning mills, shipbuilding yards, iron works, and sugar refining. The number of factories, mills or works in Osaka in 1908 was returned as 6,673, but only ten of these employed more than one thousand hands. The Imperial Mint is aso located here. This establishment is in active operation and turns out a coinage not surpassed by any in the world. The trade statistics of Osaka in recent years have shown remarkable growth. In 1900 the imports amounted to yen 9,741,436 and the exports to yen 9,626,595, showing an increase of nearly 40 per cent. on the previous year's returns. In each succeeding year there was steady growth in imports, while exports jumped up astonishingly. In 1904 the figures were: imports yen 16,977,392, and exports yen 20,790,208. The returns for 1905 showed a further increase in the trade of Osaka, the imports amounted to 18,499,831 yen, while the exports increased to 55,938,208 yen. The imports in 1906 amounted to yen 24,878,715, and the exports to yen 59,910,227, while in 1907 imports amounted to yen 34,005,261, and exports to yen 58,752,200. This shows the trade to have more than doubled in three years, but these are abnormal figures, due to the military movements following on the termination of the war The returns for 1908 showed a decline of 23 per cent. on those of the previous year. The population returns show 600 foreigners, mostly Chinese, residing in the district of Osaka. In 1909 a third of the city was destroyed by fire, the total damage being estimated at yen 25,000,000.

KOBE-HYOGO
Kobe was until 1892 the foreign port of the adjoining town of Hyogo and was opened to foreign trade in 1868, but in 1899 the two towns were incorporated under the title of Kobe City, when the City Municipal Law was put into force. The port is finely situated on the Idzumi-nada, at the gate of the far-famed Inland Sea. The harbour is good and affords safe anchorage for vessels of almost any size, but to extend the facilities for loading and discharging an extensive scheme of harbour improvement was begun in 1907 and is proceeding. The two towns face the land-locked water covered with white sails, while behind, at a distance of about a mile, rises a range of picturesque and lofty hills, some of which attain an altitude of about 3,000 feet, and the steep sides of which are partly covered with pines. On one of these hills, Rokkosan, are a number of foreign residences, the place having become a favourite summer resort. The summit of this hill has been well prepared for the purpose, several miles of excellent paths making walking on the hills easy and enjoyable. Among the attractions of Rokkosan are excellent golf links. Kobe and Hyogo stretch for some five miles along the strip of land between the hills and the water, and the former is rapidly extending in the direction of Osaka, which is connected with Kobe by the Hanshin Electric Railway. What was at one time known as the foreign quarter at Kobe is well laid out; the streets are broad and clean, and lighted with gas. The Bund has a fine stone embankment and extends the whole length of the foreign business quarter. The foreign houses are neatly built, and the Sannomiya railway station, within three minutes' walk of the Bund, has a very English look. The railway terminus is at the other end of Kobe, where it meets Hyogo, and there are extensive carriage works adjoining the station. There are four Clubs-the Kobe Club (British, but including members of all nationalities), the Club Concordia (German), the Masonic Club, and the Oriental Club (Indian). At Mirume the K. R. & A. C. have a fine boathouse and large lawn for all kinds of sports. The Union Protestant Church and a French Roman Catholic Church are in what was formerly known as the Concession. An English Episcopal Church, All Saints, was opened in 1898 on the Hill behind, and there are several native Protestant churches in Kobe town. There are three foreign hotels in the town--the Oriental, the Tor, and the Grand, while the Mikado (near Kobe railway station), is in foreign style, but under Japanese management. Two foreign daily papers, the Japan Chronicle and the Kobe Herald, and one weekly, the Japan Weekly Chronicle, are published in Kobe. There are also two native papers. The population of the city of Kobe exceeds 300,000. There are about 3,000 foreigners residing in Kobe, but of this number nearly two-thirds are Chinese. When a census was taken in 1901, the British numbered 602, Germans 188, Americans 179, French 67, and the Portuguese 70.
KOBE-HYOGO
The Temple of Nofukuji, which possesses a large bronze Buddha, and which is situated in the old town of Hyogo, is worth a visit; and there is a monument to the Japanese hero Kiyomori, erected in 1286, in a grove of trees.in the vicinity of the tem- ple, which claims some attention from its historic associations. On the Kobe side of the old river known as the Minato-gawa also stands a temple dedicated to Kusunoki Masashige, so famous in Japanese history for loyalty and valour, who died on the spot in 1336, during the unsuccessful wars for the restoration of the Mikado's power. The Kawasaki Shipbuilding Yard situated at Hyogo is one of the largest in Japan. In 1908 in addition to executing repairs to 697 vessels, the yard turned out 13 new vessels having an aggregate tonnage of 19,646. The new graving dock will accommodate vessels of some 5,000 tons. The Mitsui Bishi Co. also have a dockyard at the Western extremity of the port. This dockyard has an area of 200,000 square yards, and a seafront of 1,850 square yards. Engines, boilers, electric machinery, &c., are manufac tured here, and the yard is capable of building ships of 10,000 tons. In November, 1908, a floating dock capable of floating four hours.a vessel of 12,000 tons, length 580 feet, breadth 68 feet and draught 26 feet. The Government in 1906 sanctioned a scheme for the improvement of the harbour involving an expenditure of 32,000,000 yen. Large reclamations are being undertaken at Onohama, and commodious wharves and other facilities for the working of cargo are to be provided The work is to be com- pleted in about ten years.
Kobe's excellent railway communications, both north and south, have naturally tenderl to centralise trade at this port,

MOJI AND SHIMONOSEKI
These two towns are situated one on each side of Shimonoseki Straits, the western entrance of the Inland Sea-the former on the north and the latter on the south side. The interests of both towns, so far as shipping is concerned, are identical. Shimonoseki is under the jurisdiction of Yamaguchi, 51 miles away, and Moji under that of Fukuoka, 47 miles away. The foreign merchants have their offices on the side that suits their own convenience, but the principal banks and shipping offices are at Moji. There is a fairly strong tidal current through the Straits, but the anchorage, which is at Moji, is only affected by an eddy, and good holding ground is general. Steamers entering from the West can get pilots at Rokuran Light, where boats have to stop in any case for medical inspection and harbour master's instructions. From the eastward this inspection takes place at Hezaki Light. Means of transport are good. Liners run regularly to all foreign ordinary ports of call; and while from Shimonoseki the Sanyo Railway taps the North, from Moji the Kiushiu Railway taps the South of Japan. Excellent foreign accommodation can be had at the Shimonoseki Station Hotel, belonging to the Imperial Railway Bureau. This Railway has also two large ferry boats plying between Moji and the Shimonoseki Station, while a ten-minute ferry plies between the usual landing places at Moji and Shimonoseki. Waterworks are completed for Shimonoseki and are in course of construction at Moji. Both places are lit by electricity and are connected by telephone with the principal towns, from Kumamoto and Nagasaki in the South. to Tokyo in the North East. Imports for 1908 amounted to Yen 24,640,380, and Exports to Yen 22,742,722. Imports consist principally of machinery, iron ore, sugar, raw cotton, and flour; and Exports of coal, cotton yarn, and rice. The quantity of coal exported from Moji and Shimonoseki in 1908 was 1,166,085, tons; 3,381 vessels engaged in foreign trade entered Shimonoseki and Moji in 1907, representing a total tonnage of 4,498,473. The population of Shimonoseki at the end of 1908 was 56,857, and of Moji 56,789. It should be specially noted that photographing and sketching are forbidden within a radius of ten miles round Shimonoseki and Moji on land and sea.
The law in this respect is strictly enforced and ignorance is not accepted as an excuse.
