Hokkaido! Stay at This Hotel and Save on Transportation!

I declare this to be the most atmospheric hotel in Hokkaido!
Wake up to the morning light filtering through the shoji screens,
with steaming matcha awaiting you on the tatami mats.
In the open-air bath, snowflakes gently kiss the rising steam,
every pore whispering, "This is what a vacation is all about!"

🚎Transportation Guide:
▫️10-minute taxi ride from JR Hakodate Station (the hotel offers a free shuttle bus, reservations required)
▫️3-minute walk to Jujigai Station on the Hakodate City Tram
▫️Only 1.8 km to the Mount Hakodate Ropeway, taking the retro streetcar is highly recommended for the vibes

🏔️Nearby Activities:
❶Mount Hakodate Night View (15-minute walk)
The "Million Dollar Night View" lives up to its name! It's recommended to go up the mountain at 5:30 pm to watch the sunset paint the bay pink and gold, and then witness the city lights twinkle like a fallen galaxy.
❷Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses (8-minute walk)
Port warehouses from the Meiji era transformed into an artistic district. We recommend buying the limited-edition LeTAO cheesecake paired with a sea-view coffee.
❸Hachiman-zaka Slope (12-minute walk)
The same slope featured in *Love Letter*, with the Tsugaru Strait at its end. Every photo you take looks like a Japanese drama poster.
❹Goryokaku Park (15 minutes by tram)
A star-shaped fort castle meets early blooming cherry blossoms. Visiting in April is even more stunning!
❺Hakodate Morning Market (8 minutes by tram)
A fresh and sweet feast that opens at 5 am. Freshly cracked sea urchin and king crab leg sashimi are so delicious you'll want to stomp your feet!

💡Travel Tips:
✔️The hotel's rooftop observation deck is a hidden spot for photographing the Mount Hakodate night view.
✔️Buy a "City Tram + Bus One-Day Pass" in advance to save half on transportation costs.
✔️Iced milk by the onsen pool is the perfect complement to your bath, so be sure to try it.
✔️There's a large temperature difference between day and night in Hakodate in March, so remember to bring a windproof jacket.
✔️The hotel's Japanese-style suites are very popular, so book at least 3 months in advance.
