Hotel Enoe Hakodate

This hotel offers great value for money. Both the breakfast buffet and the room comfort exceeded my expectations. If you're planning to visit Mount Hakodate and the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses, especially in snowy weather, this is definitely the top choice because of its close proximity. Having lived in Tokyo for a long time, I've become somewhat jaded by bustling city centers and their dining scenes, which is why I didn't choose to stay near Hakodate Station. I preferred to spend more time quietly appreciating the tranquility of the rain, snow, and mountain pine forests. Many people mention long queues for the ropeway and tickets at Mount Hakodate, and that the Genova restaurant up there requires booking two weeks in advance and even then a window seat isn't guaranteed. However, I didn't encounter any of these issues because I traveled during off-peak times. I experienced zero wait times for everything, no advance booking or reservations needed. Therefore, staying at this hotel was incredibly convenient for me, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful daytime views of Mount Hakodate, which I found much more refreshing than the 'million dollar night view' that's become cliché on social media platforms like Xiaohongshu.
