Experience of the stay
My trip to Hakodate was inspired by a certain movie shot there, which made me want to visit.
When deciding where to stay, I found an open room at HafH and made a reservation.
Hakodate has several areas for accommodation: the station area, Goryokaku, the Bay Area, and Yunokawa...
Each area has its own charm, but the station area is definitely the most convenient for everything.
Upon arriving at Hakodate Station, the hotel is just next door—it's almost like it's right beside the station.
Finding an empty coin locker can be tough, so it's really convenient to drop off my luggage at the hotel.
Having a convenience store nearby is also an important point.
The hotel is relatively new, having been built only about five years ago, so it's quite clean.
The room was compact but perfect for my sightseeing needs.
Having a desk was great.
The view from the window was a train view!
The large public bath was spacious and helped relieve my fatigue from sightseeing.
After checking out, I left my luggage at the hotel and went sightseeing in Hakodate.
Since it is close to Hakodate Station, it was convenient whether I took a bus, streetcar, or JR train.
Experiences during the trip
I explored Hakodate! I took a bus to Goryokaku and had an early cherry blossom viewing, and the next day I walked around the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse area in the Bay Area.
You must try the famous Lucky Pierrot's Chinese Chicken Burger when you visit Hakodate!
I also bought a yakitori bento to take home, fully enjoying my time in Hakodate.
