Pole Star Shopping Center

Pole Star Shopping Center (ポールスターショッピングセンター) is a shopping center located in Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan. It was built on the former site of Japan National Railways staff housing. It is the first large-scale shopping center developed by Dōnan Ralse, a regional supermarket operator in southern Hokkaido, and its anchor store, Super Arcs Minatomachi, was the fourth store under the "Super Arcs" format and opened ahead of the rest of the center. The name "Pole Star" was chosen with the wish that a shopping center born in Hakodate — the gateway to Hokkaido — would become a symbol of the region, and it is derived from the North Star, a symbol of the north. The center is organized into three zones, Pole Star A, B, and C, which together host a mix of grocery, drugstore, fashion, dining, books, and services tenants. Pole Star A is anchored by the Super Arcs supermarket. Pole Star B includes Tsuruha Drug, Doutor Coffee, a Docomo Shop Mihara satellite, an au shop, a Ymobile shop, Kumazawa Bookstore, Shoo La Rue, Honey's, Asbee Fam, and Right-on. Pole Star C includes Coo&RIKU, Nishimatsuya, Megane no Prince, The Daiso, Nippon Travel Agency Hokkaido, and Hokudai Gakuryoku Zōshinkai. The center is located near Hokkaido Route 347 (Goryōkaku-dōri and Ōno Shindō), adjacent to the Hakodate City Hospital and behind Goryōkaku Station. It is about an eight-minute walk from Goryōkaku Station via a pedestrian bridge, about fifteen minutes by car from Hakodate Station, and about twenty-five minutes by car from Hakodate Airport. The center maintains a website and social media presence on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
