Are there other cameras near Kattoshi Cape?
Yes. The Mount Hakodate Observatory camera and the Mount Hakodate HBC night view camera are both about 8.9 km away in a straight line. Use them to compare the view across the Hakodate area.

A camera pin is not always a place to visit
The pin marks the camera facility or a documented reference point. Some cameras are on hotel roofs or broadcast buildings that visitors cannot enter. Check the entrance to the place you actually plan to visit.
The closest station by coordinates is Oshimatobetsu Station, 1.8 km from the camera reference point in a straight line. This is not a verified walking route or recommended access station. Check the visitor destination and its official access information.
The map also shows rail lines serving Oshimatobetsu Station. The distance above is a straight line, not a walking time. Check the actual entrance and route below.
The closest station in a straight line may not be the easiest way in. The route also ends at the camera reference point, so change it to the place you actually plan to visit. Check buses, journey time and first or last trains in the route results.
