Jr Inn Hakodate

1. The location is the best compared to many other hotels. Downstairs, there's a 7-Eleven, JR station, and souvenir shops, all within reach. Plus, there's a direct passage from beside the 7-Eleven straight to the hotel entrance. You don't have to drag your luggage through the snow from the JR station, and if you arrive by bus from the airport, it's less than a 5-minute walk. 2. The front desk staff are exceptionally good; they made an effort to communicate with me, patiently explaining every detail in a gentle voice. Moreover, during my stay, every morning when I left the hotel and every evening when I returned, the front desk staff would politely greet me – it was heartwarming. It made me miss Hakodate even after I'd moved on to Asahikawa. The cleaning ladies were also very kind and friendly when we spoke. 3. There are many great restaurants on the streets outside the hotel. My favorite izakaya and ramen shop were both nearby; I ate there for several days in a row without getting tired of it. And because of the hotel's excellent location, I could always just walk in without waiting in line. I highly recommend this place for solo travelers. The single room was also very spacious, much larger than the one I had in Asahikawa, and very comfortable to sleep in. Every time I returned to the hotel and lay down, I fell asleep instantly. Plus, the window offered a beautiful scenic view (I forgot to take a picture). Next time I visit, I feel like I'll only stay at Hakodate JR Inn...

The room was spacious and affordable, with a great wet/dry bathroom separation. The window view was also stunning. The location is excellent, directly accessible from the JR station. The front desk staff were very welcoming and even provided important information translated into my native language, which was a very thoughtful touch.

This is the best choice for taking the JR to Hakodate in winter. You don't have to drag your luggage through the snow; it's right outside the station exit, just turn right. They gave us a room on the top floor facing Mount Hakodate, and we were absolutely amazed when we opened the curtains in the morning! The sushi and seafood rice bowl at breakfast were also good.

The hotel is connected directly to the JR station, so you don't even have to go outside after getting off the train. It's also not far from Mount Hakodate, within walking distance. The window view is beautiful, and most importantly, the price is really affordable. Excellent value for money! 👍

I've stayed at many JR INNs, and this one was consistently great and very clean. Traveling with my child, who always insists on seeing JR trains, I'd emailed the hotel beforehand requesting a room with a track view. After checking in, the staff even thoughtfully arranged a triple room for us, which we really appreciated. The hotel's location is excellent; it's just a minute's walk from Hakodate Station with clear signs leading to the front desk, and Hakodate Morning Market is right across the street. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Hakodate!
