Wakamatsu Hot Spring Resort, Hakodate

This ryokan is an absolute gem, situated right on the ocean outside of Hakodate. The view from my spacious tatami room on the second floor was breathtaking, allowing me to soak in the stunning seashore and the Straits of Tsugaru. Dining here was unforgettable, with a delicious Kaiseki-style dinner and breakfast that featured fresh Hokkaido seafood. The onsen facilities were fantastic, especially the outdoor pool overlooking the beach, which had a magical quality with the snow on the sand. The service was polite and attentive, but there were moments when I felt a bit isolated. Overall, it's a perfect choice for anyone seeking an authentic ryokan experience with spectacular views.

This ryokan offers a truly authentic experience with stunning ocean views and a relaxing onsen. The traditional tatami rooms are comfortable and spacious, and dining here is a real treat with delicious local seafood. However, the service can be somewhat minimal, as staff members are mostly invisible outside of meal times, and the location, while beautiful, is a bit isolated from the city's busier areas.

My stay at this ryokan was absolutely unforgettable! The ocean views were breathtaking, especially from the traditional tatami room, and the Kaiseki-style meals featuring Hokkaido seafood were divine. The only downside was that service felt a bit distant outside of mealtimes, but it didn't detract much from the overall experience. If you're seeking an authentic ryokan and onsen experience, look no further!
