Yunokawa Prince Hotel Nagisatei
8,8/10 Excellent - Based on 387 reviews
In a setting that is both spacious and refined, this ryokan in Hakodate invites you to a soothing immersion. The interiors blend clean lines and natural materials, offering a warm and minimalist atmosphere. The open-air hot springs, the true heart of the place, allow for relaxation while admiring marine or urban landscapes. A comprehensive wellness space, extending from public baths to sauna services, brings serenity and comfort.
Harmoniously arranged, the rooms strike a perfect balance between tradition and modernity, with authentic tatamis, futons, or comfortable beds. Each room is equipped with a private bathroom, some offering an open-air bath to enjoy an incredible view of the Tsugaru Strait or the city of Hakodate. Wi-Fi connection and modern amenities ensure a practical and pleasant stay.
Nestled in this setting, the ryokan’s table stands out with a buffet of Japanese and Western inspiration, where chefs prepare live dishes, such as crispy tempuras. Many local restaurants are also nearby, offering a gourmet discovery of Hokkaido flavors.
Authentic Japanese Evaluation
6/10 Modern elements dominate, but a few traditional touches create a pleasing atmosphere. The dishes, although tasty, lack authentic Japanese sophistication. The baths offer a relaxing view but do not seem to fully exploit traditional onsens. The rooms combine contemporary simplicity with some appreciable Japanese details.
