I stayed at this hotel called "Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen Hotel Kawatei". The breakfast at the hotel is great value with unlimited servings of salmon roe, scallops, and cod roe. You can make your own seafood bowl. The service was polite. The hot spring does not have separate baths for men and women, so it is convenient. The building is old, but the renovation is well-maintained and there is no unsightliness.

Category: Favorite Izakaya (Hokkaido / Tohoku) Today's breakfast is at Yunosawa Onsen "Kohan Tei". It is served in the form of a Japanese set meal and a mini buffet. The basic Japanese set meal includes grilled salmon, tamagoyaki (rolled omelette), squid sashimi, and simmered dried daikon radish. Salad, ikura (salmon roe), and scallop sashimi are taken from the buffet corner. I generously topped my dish with delicious ikura. The ikura is salmon roe and it has a nice popping texture. The squid and scallop were also delicious, making me want to have a drink early in the morning. It was a very satisfying breakfast. Although it is a bit far from the station, the natural hot spring was great. It was cold in the outdoor bath due to the blizzard, but it was a valuable ryokan where you can enjoy even if you are traveling alone. It is rare to be able to drink in the city and stay in a hot spring, like in Fukushima Tozawa Onsen or Ehime Dogo Onsen, so I would like to stay here again. I hope to visit again for a two-person izakaya trip! Thank you very much for your hospitality! "Kohan Tei" 2-5-23 Yunokawa-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido.

This time, I booked a one-night stay with breakfast included through an online travel agency. When I checked the reviews on the booking site, the breakfast received high praise. The breakfast includes grilled salmon, fresh squid sashimi, and a buffet with specialties like soy-marinated salmon roe and scallop sashimi, salad, and about 10 other side dishes. The soy-marinated salmon roe has a delicious flavor, and the scallop sashimi is also very tasty. The grilled salmon and squid sashimi that come with it are delicious as well. Every dish was really delicious. The hot spring bath is not available 24 hours, but it is a good hot spring with flowing water that warms the body well. This accommodation is definitely worth using when staying in Hakodate. This time, the plan with one night stay and breakfast included was 6,300 yen, excluding the bathing tax, which was quite a bargain.

Photo organization. I'll give you a few. I went to Hakodate for work. I stayed alone the day before a scheduled day for some reason I can't remember, but I think it was to avoid being invited out for drinks, so I purposely stayed in Yunokawa. I stayed at this place where I had never stayed before. If it's for a vacation, it might be a bit lacking, but I think it would be good for families with children or for business use. I had a set meal for dinner. I was happy to have a dessert that was a soft serve ice cream from a certain ranch, which was unusual. But I don't have a photo of it (>_<), so please enjoy the monkeys at the botanical garden within walking distance.

I could only eat rice and scallops for breakfast, but everything else was tough... The hot spring was nice though.

This is the breakfast at the inn. It came with rice & miso soup, salad, ikura and tarako, and scallop sashimi which were self-service. It was a shame that I couldn't eat much due to drinking too much the day before. The hot spring was amazing! The floating hot spring flowers in the indoor bath may look dirty, but it's okay.

During the spring break and with the opening of a new shinkansen line, it was difficult to make hotel reservations. Eventually managed to stay at Kawadotei in Yunokawa Onsen. It is a small ryokan with 30 rooms. Of course, there are indoor and outdoor baths. The room was a Japanese-style room, spacious enough for one person. The highlight was breakfast. I refrained from overeating and got enough sleep to prepare for breakfast. Finally, it was breakfast time. The venue was like a small banquet hall with assigned seating by room number. The first thing that caught my eye was the visually stunning salmon. And when in Hakodate, you have to try the squid sashimi! There were also various side dishes. It was a normal breakfast until I saw the unlimited servings of salmon roe, scallops, and cod roe! The salmon roe had just the right amount of salt, the scallops were fresh and had a nice texture, and the cod roe was of good quality. The rice went well with all of these. If breakfast was this good, I wonder how dinner would be. Next time, I'll stay with meals included. The onsen and the meals were satisfying, despite not being flashy.

I stayed at a cheap hot spring inn in Yunokawa a few times, but when I searched for somewhere new to stay, I found this place. I stayed for one night with breakfast included for 6,200 yen, but with points and a discount voucher, I paid around 4,500 yen per person. From looking at various websites, the food seemed pretty good. Some reviews mentioned fluffy rice and delicious tara-ko (cod roe) from Kabu, which sounded appealing. I didn't know that this place had been closed for nearly two years and reopened in April 2013 with a total of 30 rooms, which I thought was nice. According to the inn's website, the 30 rooms are mainly 12-tatami mat Japanese-style rooms, and the indoor bath is made of cypress wood with sodium chloride hot spring water at a temperature of 64.1 degrees Celsius. The inn is located along the Matsukura River, about a 10-minute walk from either Yunokawa Onsen or Yunokawa Station by train. Walking along the riverbank in the summer must be pleasant. It was a weekday when I visited, so I didn't encounter any other guests in the hot spring. Having the spacious bath all to myself made my stay here worthwhile. There is also an outdoor bath, but I was content with the cypress indoor bath. In the evening, there were bubbles floating in the bath, and I could faintly feel some oily substance. While soaking in the hot spring, I hoped my body aches and stiffness would disappear, but as I relaxed in the water, those concerns faded away, and I simply appreciated the hot water. The pillow was a bit firm, but thanks to the hot spring, I slept well and woke up feeling hungry for breakfast. The dining area was also quiet, with tables assigned by room number. The basic Japanese set meal included unlimited servings of tara-ko, scallops, and salmon roe. It was much better than a typical buffet with pre-packaged foods. The tara-ko, salmon roe, and scallops didn't taste like they were seasoned with strange additives and were quite delicious. It was a bit disappointing that there were no fruits, but I could tell that they were doing their best. Coffee was served in paper cups that could be taken away, and there was also milk available, so it felt like a satisfying meal experience.
