Takuboku Tei
6,5/10 Good - Based on 145 reviews
Striking a balance between tradition and modernity, the Takuboku Tei embodies the essence of a ryokan in Hakodate. With its spacious top-floor hot spring bath offering panoramic city views and its soothing Japanese gardens, the establishment invites relaxation. Sauna, massages, and public baths enhance the wellness experience, while its bright lobby extends the relaxing atmosphere.
Harmoniously arranged, the rooms blend Japanese authenticity with modern comfort. Woven tatamis and traditional futons are paired with amenities such as a television and a refrigerator. Each space, sober and uncluttered, features a private bathroom and a charming breathtaking view, reinforcing the feeling of serenity.
Culinary charm is on the agenda with two on-site restaurants offering a varied cuisine, ranging from Japanese specialties to Western dishes. The breakfast buffet combines freshness and flavors, while local flavors enrich the meals. Nearby, Hakodate’s gastronomic richness offers multiple opportunities to further explore the culinary culture of the region.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Despite the modernity of some spaces, this ryokan carefully blends traditional and modern elements. The rooms offer a soothing ambiance but lack total immersion. The onsen provides a pleasant experience, even if not exceptional. The cuisine seems adequate, but it could better reflect the art of kaiseki.
