Experience of the stay
OMO5 Hakodate, located just a 5-minute walk from Hakodate Station, is an excellent hotel for both sightseeing and gourmet dining, making it perfect for family trips.
We enjoyed a relaxing dinner with takeout bento from the OMO Base on the second floor of the hotel. This location allows for a casual, local experience.
In the morning, we indulged in fresh seafood bowls at Hakodate Morning Market. Although the hotel breakfast buffet looked delicious, the fact that children were charged the same as adults made the morning market choice especially satisfying.
Furthermore, we enjoyed the cherry blossoms in full bloom at Goryokaku. It's also great that you can access it via the free Gloop Gloop Bus (note that the bus runs infrequently, so planning is recommended).
Since it was Golden Week and everything was crowded, we joined a hotel bus tour to see the night view from Mount Hakodate. The 1500 yen tour was worth it; even though the ropeway was busy and had long waits, the tour was stress-free as it started and ended right in front of the hotel.
To top off our sightseeing, we relaxed in the hotel's hot springs. It was a wonderful way to unwind after all the travel fatigue.
OMO5 Hakodate is a hotel that is "simply close to the station and has everything you need," making it a reliable base for families and tourists focused on sightseeing alike.
Experiences during the trip
Local burger spot, Lucky Pierrot, is just a 7-8 minute walk away. If you go early, you can avoid long wait times. For takeaway, ordering through the app is recommended.
Famous for its yakitori bento, Hasegawa Store is a 5-6 minute walk. Although it’s called yakitori, it’s actually a pork bento. We took it to go and enjoyed it at OMO Base.
On chilly or rainy days, Hakodate Kids Plaza is just a 4-5 minute walk away. It’s like a children’s play center with reasonable prices, perfect for killing time.
For Goryokaku, Mount Hakodate, Motomachi, and Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse, you can take the Gloop Gloop Free Bus.
