October 1868 CE

The rebels, numbering around three thousand and traveling by ship with Enomoto Takeaki, reach Hokkaidō in October 1868.

They land on Takanoki Bay, behind Hakodate on October 20.

Hijikata Toshizo and Otori Keisuke each lead a column in the direction of Hakodate.

They eliminate local resistance by the forces of Matsumae domain, which had declared its loyalty to the new Meiji government, and occupy the fortress of Goryokaku on October 26, which becomes the command center for the rebel army.
