This hotel is located in a nice spot by the beach a bit further out from the main Hakodate town center. The view from this hotel is amazing. I really liked the outdoor onsen on level 4 and having a private onsen in my room just completed the trip. I was there in winter so it was really nice seeing the snow fall whilst soaking in the onsen. There is a good selection of good quality food at the buffet breakfast and dinner. They had king crab legs during dinner time which was very popular amongst the guests. Hanatsuki is almost like a club room because it is a separate section of the Heiseikan Shiosaitei hotel. You have access to a private Hanatsuki lounge as well where they would serve you drinks and snacks. Overall, this hotel was a perfect hotel to celebrate our Valentine's day. It was a good hotel to relax and wind down after the 2 weeks of exploration we did around Japan.

Not a complaint because I really enjoyed the food but I was expecting a kaiseki style dinner and breakfast. They provided one special dish for each meal and the rest of the food was from the buffet selection. I should have looked a bit more into it but this is definitely not a deal breaker because the buffet food was amazing.

The room was very nice, and the private bath gets a clear sea view.

The heater might get a little bit warm at night and the location is best to go by taxis to get there if you are holding a number of luggage.

nice food and onsen

1. The room is super spacious. 2. The living room and the private bath have ocean view. 3. The mini bar is free of charge. 4. Staff was very helpful and friendly. 5. It's reachable by public buses (95, 95A and 96) from/to Hakodate station. 6. Dinner was awesome. The varieties were beyond expectation. They even served free-flow crabs. 7. Breakfast was great as well. It's better than any hotels I've ever stayed around the globe. 8. Amenities were all provided in the room (unlike other hotels in Japan these days).

1. The futon was a bit hard. 2. There was no way to control the room temperature. It was a bit warm, so I was sweating all night.

sea view and room On sen

lack of AC in Room while it was advertised as it has one. lack of dining options. the Hotel is not 5 star.

We liked the private onsen and the special seafood course given for every breakfast and dinner.

The buffet menu did not change at all for the four days that we were there.

Good Quality of Food
