Hakodate · Sea view
A hotel from 2021 in Yunokawa, five minutes from Hakodate Airport, with an infinity bath on the 12th floor facing the Tsugaru Strait. In the evening you can see the lights of the fishing boats from there. Day use is ¥2,000 for an adult, 14:00 to 17:00. Day use is limited to quiet weekdays and does not run on weekends, holidays and vacation periods, so you must call ahead.
