Located in Yunokawa Onsen-one of Hokkaido’s three major hot spring resorts-this seaside retreat offers a luxurious stay overlooking the Tsugaru Strait. The highlight is the rooftop infinity open-air bath, where the horizon blends seamlessly with the sea and sky. At night, guests can enjoy the enchanting view of the moon and the glowing lights of fishing boats that inspired the hotel’s name, “Umi to Akari” (Sea and Light). Watching the moonlight shimmer on the water while sipping local Hakodate sake is an unforgettable experience.

The interior is infused with traditional Japanese aesthetics, featuring touches such as the hotel’s original “Yamatan-fuku” indoor wear inspired by traditional attire. Guests are welcomed with complimentary drinks, and limited servings of handmade roasted rice dumplings and sweet sake-a warm gesture of hospitality that enhances the sense of travel.
Guest rooms range from junior suites to double rooms, with many offering panoramic views of the Tsugaru Strait-highly sought after by visitors.

Dinner is a lavish buffet featuring about 150 dishes, including crab, salmon roe, tuna, sushi, sashimi, and hearty fisherman-style cuisine-one of the largest selections in Hokkaido. The Japanese restaurant also serves beautifully prepared seafood rice bowls, set meals, and seasonal kaiseki courses crafted from carefully selected local ingredients.
