JR Inn Hakodate

The closest Hotel to Hakodate Station, making it convenient to get there without getting wet in the rain. The bath on the 12th floor was spacious and great. The lounge also has a nice view, and you can enjoy coffee and tea, making it very comfortable. The morning market is right in front, and it was convenient for getting anywhere. You can watch the trains on the station platforms from your Room. All the front desk staff were polite and helpful. I would like to stay again.

I stayed here as a solo female traveler. Since getting around Hakodate is mainly by bus, streetcar, or on foot, this Hotel connected directly to the station was incredibly convenient. They also stored my luggage after checkout, so I could shop for souvenirs hands-free until close to my train departure.I used the 12th-floor lounge several times—enjoying a hot drink while taking in the snowy views of Mt. Hakodate and the sea. The large public bath offers a unique experience as well; you can soak while watching trains arrive at Hakodate Station at night. Because the bath and lounge are on the same floor, it’s easy to relax after bathing while enjoying the view.The front desk staff were kind, and it was fun that you can choose your own amenities and pillows from the first floor. The only disappointment was finding a strand of hair on top of the information guide on the desk in my Room, so I rated it 4 stars.Breakfast was enjoyable too—there was even conveyor-belt sushi, which felt like a nice touch. I will definitely come again.
