La Vista Hakodate Bay ANNEX (Kyoritsu Resort)

I chose this Hotel because it had such high Review ratings, and this was my first stay. I was a little nervous traveling solo to Hakodate for the first time, but the female staff member at the front desk who assisted me at check-in was truly pleasant and professional. Her thorough, thoughtful explanation immediately put me at ease, and I felt from the bottom of my heart that choosing this Hotel was the right decision.Everything I had contacted the Hotel about in advance was perfectly shared among the staff, so everything from check-in to getting to my Room was smooth and stress-free. It felt even better than I had expected.The Room was more than spacious enough for one person. It was clean and very functional, with essentials (e.g., a trash bin, tissue box, etc.) placed exactly where I would want them—everything clearly arranged from a guest’s perspective.Perhaps because there aren’t that many guest rooms—or maybe due to the season—the restaurant was never crowded, and I could enjoy my meals in a relaxed space.Both dinner and breakfast were truly delicious...(!) With fresh and luxurious seafood as well, I ended up eating too much every day.As for the Onsen, the large public bath had a wonderful atmosphere with wide-open views of Mt. Hakodate and the sea. It was spacious with no crowds—an incredibly pleasant Onsen experience. The changing area also offered chilled mineral water, guarana soda, ice pops, and more—such attentive hospitality that left me feeling fully refreshed in both body and mind.There are three private baths as well; no Reservation is needed—you can use them anytime if available—and I could relax without worrying about others while enjoying views of the sea and harbor.Whenever I returned from sightseeing at night they greeted me with “Welcome back,” and when heading out they would say “Have a good day,” which made this Hotel feel like my home in Hakodate. It was simply so comfortable. Thanks to everyone here, my trip to Hakodate became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much! When I visit Hakodate again, I would love to stay here again—thank you in advance!

On my third stay, I brought my mother for the first time. We were able to relax in the spacious Japanese-Western style Room. The view of Mt. Hakodate from our Room was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Onsen. What I like about this Hotel is that it never feels overcrowded—there is no hustle and bustle in the baths, dining venue, or lobby. Thank you for a wonderful time from check-in to check-out.
