The Three Ports of Matsumae
Or the so called "Three Ports of Matsumae" is fine I think. As far as I remember my history lessons, I don't think there is another expression...but there was not much about Matsumae.

"Three Harbors of Ezo"
The port town "Hakodate"
One of the famous "Three Harbors of Ezo" (now Hokkaido) along with Matsumae and Esashi, Hakodate has long provided an excellent natural harbor, and prospered as a trading center for marine produce. Following the reopening of Japan to foreign trade in 1859, Hakodate became a trading port like Yokohama and Nagasaki. This constant interaction with the outside world placed Hakodate at the forefront of modernization in Japan. The area around the mountain Hakodate-yama and the port of Hakodate still retains much of the atmosphere of the time, and many of the pseudo-Western style homes built from around 1900 to 1930 are in good condition.......
