Beach Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

The breakfast was terrible, like pre-made meals. There was hardly any decent food, and it was exactly the same for two days straight, with no changes to the dishes at all. The Wi-Fi was extremely unstable, constantly losing signal and speed. The room felt old and was cramped for two people. It was stuffy; even with the AC off, it was hot, and I woke up every morning with a damp back. There weren't many power outlets, and their placement was inconvenient, making charging a hassle.

Authentic Japanese style hotel that own a hot spring underneath the property. The hotel provides public bath, but private baths are also available for reservation. Breakfast comes in a a personal set and is delicious. The room facing the beach front view hearing sound of the ocean is serene and peaceful. Staff are all friendly and professional.

I'd call this unbeatable. First off, the front desk service was truly above and beyond my expectations. It was snowing heavily, and the bellhop was still waiting outside for guests to arrive, helping with luggage. The outdoor private onsen in the room was also exceptional; the view and atmosphere were incredible. The breakfast, with its unbeatable ocean view, topped it all off. I had a wonderful day in Hakodate!

Very good, nice people, great view, nice room! It is recommended to book two nights to relax! The most amazing thing is opening the balcony door! From that moment on, you feel that taking a taxi is really worth it.

Excellent hotel with kids facility Food are nice But they have free flow with bingo tem on the day we checked in, don't know why the restaurant staff don't want to show us the free flow menu . We asjec the waiter for detaills, he showed us. But we don't know our kidx can play bingo ten after dinner . No one told us. Other than that , all are good

I absolutely loved this hot spring hotel; it's the kind of place you'll never want to leave. Breakfast and dinner were served as a semi-buffet, with ingredients that truly showcased the hotel's unique character. The freshly squeezed juices, cherry tomatoes, sweet soup, and coffee regularly prepared in the lobby were all thoughtfully curated, and enjoying them from a seat with a view made the experience even better. The room was just as delightful, featuring a rocking chair and a lounge mat, perfect for watching the Pacific Ocean and sipping tea – absolutely blissful. The hotel's hot springs were beautiful, and the water quality was excellent. The outdoor baths also boasted stunning views, allowing you to watch the sea, stars, and seagulls, feeling truly at one with nature. There's also a foot bath and a 'happiness bell'. The hotel's two generations of resident dogs were also very beautiful and friendly.

The ultimate value for money! Even the driver who stayed here before said it was excellent value! Many Japanese people stay here, mostly families with children. It's right next to a tropical botanical garden where you can see monkeys soaking in hot springs. The sea is right outside the window, super close, beautiful scenery, but the waves are very loud at night. There's an open-air hot spring on the rooftop, and on the first floor there are foot baths and a traditional hot spring + sauna. There's a supermarket on the first floor with everything you need. The receptionist at check-in was Chinese. It's very convenient to hire a car, but I'm not sure if it's convenient to go on your own, as it's quite far. It is indeed quite old, in terms of style, but very clean.

The hotel's location is super convenient. After getting off at Hakodate Station, you can take buses 95, 95A, or 96 right outside the station (get off at Yunokawa Onsen Station), and the hotel is directly across the street. Conversely, you can catch a bus from the hotel entrance directly to JR Hakodate Station. This is incredibly handy, especially given how expensive taxis are in Japan. The hotel rooms are very spacious. While the facilities are a bit dated, the big plus is that the room comes with a private, continuously flowing hot spring bath – it's not one of those you have to turn on and off with a tap. It's semi-open-air, looking out onto the ocean, so there's no need to worry about privacy. Soaking in the onsen while enjoying the sea view, perhaps with an ice cream [chuckle] – it really doesn't get much more relaxing! Since we booked a Japanese-style room, staff came to make our beds after check-in. The mini-fridge was stocked with complimentary bottled water, bottled tea, and beer. Unfortunately, my family and I don't drink, so we didn't make use of that service [facepalm]. Right next to the hotel is the 'Ichimonji' ramen shop, and the Tropical Botanical Garden, where you can watch monkeys soaking in the hot springs, is just a 300-500 meter walk away. Guests staying at Hanatsuki can also request a window seat at breakfast to enjoy the sea view while they eat.

Tomamu Hoshino Resort – I have to say, it's pretty impressive all around! 🌟 Before it got dark, we explored the farm, petted cows 🐄 and sheep 🐑, climbed hay bales, and relaxed on hay sofas 🌾. In the evening, we went to Minamina Beach 🏖️ and then to the open-air forest hot spring ♨️, which genuinely smelled of rich wood. After that, we timed our visit to Tadao Ando's Church on the Water ✝️, listening to the chorus of frogs 🐸. First thing the next morning, we took the cable car up the mountain to see the sea of clouds (or rather, mist) ☁️. The beds made of hay were so warm and comfortable! 🐄 The French toast with Hokkaido cream at the Forest Restaurant Nininupuri was absolutely delicious 😋 – the best French toast ever! Transportation is a bit inconvenient; you transfer once from the airport to Tomamu Station via JR, and then there's a shuttle bus to the hotel. But remember, to get from the hotel to the JR station, you MUST book in advance. It's not on the regular timetable, and it doesn't stop at every station!

This is the hotel we changed from the chain hotel at the station. Because there is a hot spring here. It is only one stop from the airport to the hotel, and even if you take a taxi, it is only 50 RMB. There is a very convenient bus stop at the door of the hotel, and it takes about 30 minutes to get to the city. The hotel's breakfast is very rich and you can eat it every day. The hot spring service is also quite commendable. I highly recommend it. If you go with a family, book a room by the sea. In fact, it is very cost-effective. One room can accommodate 4~5 people, and then looking at the seaside is very good.
