Experience of the stay
While my reservation at HafH was for room only, I was able to add breakfast onsite. Being known as a breakfast battle zone, Hakodate offers high-level breakfast options. Seafood bowls, grilled dishes, shio ramen, sushi, and ika meshi were served. When I stayed, a limited-time event called "Winter Squid Festival" featuring the local specialty squid was being held. It seems that limited-time events change with the seasons, so I definitely want to revisit outside of winter.
The hot spring had an outdoor bath that was pleasant to soak in. It was convenient not having to bring a towel from the room. They also provided makeup remover.
There’s a coin laundry, so long-term stays seem feasible. Payments are cashless. The dryer might be a bit weak; in our case, we had to pay an additional fee to dry our clothes as they didn't dry completely in one round.
Experiences during the trip
After breakfast, I took a free bus to Goryokaku. Hotel departures are by reservation. Reservations are made using a QR code given at check-in. You can board from intermediate bus stops without a reservation.
IC cards can be used on city trams.
I went to Hakodate Hachiman-gu for my New Year’s visit and took photos at Hachiman-zaka.
Lucky Pierrot and Hasegawa Store are also recommended for Hakodate gourmet.
Hakodate is a compact city, so I could efficiently sightsee using the hotel’s free bus and city trams.
