Hanabishi Hotel

Excellent location--Just 3 mins walk from the tram station and the 足湯. The staff is helpful and kind, able to speak English. Truly great onsen facility--one at the ground floor the other at the top. The bath area is very clean and the onsen area, especially the outdoor one on the first floor, offers very refreshing experience of switching between hot (two truly hot onsen pool and one with mild, warm temperature) and cold (the outdoor air and the cold water pool). I ordered both the dinner and the breakfast, and both are excellent. The Japanese style room is also great, spacious and full of grass fragrances from tatami. The pillow is also filled with such stuffing with fragrance--and actually you can choose the stuffing the hardness of the pillow if you want to. Regret that I got lazy and didn't use this service. Would like to try next time if there's chances.

Rooms are great and the baths are great.

A very nice ryokan located right near a tram station. It's a bit far from the city center but the tram helps a lot. There was a choice between 2 onsens, a beautiful garden and a mini shrine in the hotel. I especially appreciated the futon laying-out service.

great Japanese food, very relaxing onsen, pleasant and hard working staff, comfortable rooms - thank you. While a way from central Hakodate, in the onsen district, trams were on time and comfortable and the fellow passengers interesting and friendly

I had the best sleep in YEARS, and I tried every climate, bed and pillow (okay, maybe not every, but I changed 16 countries/states in 2 last years). The whole place is just perfect: tattoo friendly public bath, tradition-inspired rooms. But the bed – is the true wonder! Thank you, Hanabishi team!
