Shimokita Peninsula Pet-friendly Vacations

The onsen was great although I never figured out how to reach the one on the 7th floor. The izakayas nearby were really good!

Very nice staff and the included breakfast was incredibly delicious

The hotel is in a great location for getting around and visiting all the attractions Hakodate has to offer. The lobby is open and welcoming, and the staff are wonderful. There is even a free coffee machine, and the matcha latte it makes is delicious and addictive. The onsen bath was perfect and offers a great view from the top floor! They also provide free ice pops and cream sticks near the entrance to the men’s and women’s onsen. As others have mentioned, the breakfast is excellent. My only complaint is the room. While not bad, the Double Room with a King bed felt run down and very “well used.” It was clean and tidy, but it has certainly seen better days. That said, I can overlook this because everything else about the hotel was fantastic. As for restaurants and dining options, right outside the main entrance there is a cluster of eateries offering a great variety of food, and they are not affiliated with the hotel.

Very good location around the morning market and many good food options. Ideal for first timer to Hakodate

This hotel is conveniently located right next to the JR Hakodate Station, which makes it an easy find. For breakfast, it provides a wide variety of local food which tasted delicious, such as the fresh seafood don and salt Ramen live station, and not forgetting the sparkling wine, red and white wine bar at the entrance. Room is of decent size and check in process is smooth. This hotel also comes with a laundrymat services, though it does not have an onsite onsen. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay at the hotel.

A large and well designed onsen setup on ground floor attached to the natural source. Great for those who would enjoy such setup. Maintenance is very good for the age of this property. Rio resorts is really doing this region a great service by reviving this formerly decaying hotel in a depressed area. It is a good 20 minute walk from the main drag where everyone wants to be at. The "premium tower" houses the very large rooms with balconies featuring extremely traditional layout. Where the toilet is in a separate room far away from the bathroom. Now also has a coin laundry and game center, both can come in handy for traveling families. There is a great "cash only" genuine ramen stand just across the street. McDonalds is 3 blocks away together with a healthy ecosystem of very local restaurants of various type. The beach, which Hakodate is not particularly known for, is only one block away. The city has at least one project going on to improve the beach front area at the moment. Staff are super friendly and superbly helpful, giving me a very good first impression of rio resorts management.

This two-story home is so beautiful! It’s decorated in a modern, minimalist, somewhat Scandinavian style. I originally booked this place because I fell in love with the bathtub picture and thought that the extra space would be nice. Once I entered the place, I was blown away by the little details like the comfortable bed and bedding, how soft the towels were, and how nice it was to listen to the record player and even just gazing at the ceiling beams. (I felt transported to another place simply relaxing in the home and listening to music.) It’s hard to describe the peaceful, cozy feeling one gets from soaking in these thoughtful interior design elements. I want to go back already! One thing to note is to make sure you get a number code for the door to check in. (Due to a system error, I didn’t receive this message. I called the host and he was very quick in walking me through check-in.) All my communication with the host was warm and welcoming, enhancing my stay even further. I would 100% recommend staying here, and I myself would love to go back someday. Hopefully soon.
