JR Inn Hakodate  

Adjacent to Hakodate Station, this Hakodate hotel sits steps from the Morning Market and Ekini Fish Market. Fort Goryokaku and Yunokawa Hot Spring are a short drive away, making it a perfect base for train-friendly city exploration and seafood-focused sightseeing.

Opened in May 2020 with a ‘comfortable wake-up’ vibe, the property mixes railway nostalgia and modern chill — the lobby displays actual train memorabilia and the top floor offers an open-air bath with train and mountain views. Choose from a train-view or mountain/market-view room in one of 215 non-smoking guestrooms. A lounge stocked with 500+ books and free local coffee invites slow mornings, and a first-floor pillow corner lets you try multiple pillow types to find your perfect sleep.

Standout features include a top-floor open-air bath with sweeping train and town views, a book-filled lounge with complimentary local coffee, complimentary wired and wireless internet, a vending machine, on-site laundry/dry cleaning, a massage room and paid self-parking. Rooms include refrigerators, bidets, electric kettles and daily housekeeping — wake up to sea-breeze mornings or watch trains roll by from your window.

Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet, 24-hour front desk service, luggage storage and dry cleaning/laundry help keep business and transit stays smooth. Self-parking is available onsite (charges may apply).

On-site dining highlights a Hokkaido-style seafood breakfast buffet served daily from 6:30–9:30 AM (fee applies; currently offered as plated meals in some cases). The lounge also offers free local coffee for slow starts before you head out to the markets.
