Experience of the stay
Since a new OMO opened in Hakodate, I quickly went to stay there.
When you think of Hakodate, you think of hotel breakfast buffets. Various hotels like Lavista, Century Marina, and Hakodate Kokusai compete with luxurious breakfast buffets.
As my reservation at hafh was only for the room, I purchased a breakfast buffet ticket for 3500 yen. I thought OMO’s breakfast might emphasize style, but I was completely mistaken! The sushi rice for the seafood donburi was mixed with sesame and ginger, and there were plenty of condiments. They even made ramen on the spot in a live buffet setting, and sparkling wine was available from morning! The bread was freshly baked and delicious! The day before, I had visited the Hakodate Kokusai Hotel's breakfast buffet, but OMO's offering held its own! Hakodate Kokusai Hotel can get extremely crowded, so OMO might be a better option for a relaxed meal. While the all-you-can-eat ikura and variety of desserts might be a win for Hakodate Kokusai, OMO's overall experience is still great!
Experiences during the trip
Arriving in Hakodate via an early morning ferry, I headed to the Hakodate Kokusai Hotel breakfast buffet, which is available for 3500 yen to non-staying guests as well. I arrived around 7:30 AM on a weekday and found 30 groups waiting. However, there were plenty of seats, and I was called within about 40 minutes. When you think of Hakodate, you think of seafood donburi. There’s an all-you-can-eat ikura (salmon roe). Is it a given to drink alcohol in the morning in Hakodate? There was also wine available. Of course, I enjoyed red and white wine in the morning! The dessert selection was also abundant. Indeed, Hakodate's breakfast is splendid! 😋
