Boasting great views of the city and ocean, Hakodateyama Guest House offers basic accommodation in a historic Japanese-style building, decorated with antique items. Free WiFi and free parking are offered.

The location was amazing and the views! Our room was very spacious and had amazing views! We were thankful there was dedicated parking and we were able to do a load of laundry during our quick stay. The host was very kind and responsive to my questions. Honestly we loved this guest house and wished we were staying in the area longer! Definitely recommending my to anyone who will be in Hakodate area!

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    We arrived with our bicycles and they kindly let us take them to the second floor for safe storage. The staff was very nice and room very clean and comfortable. Great location to Hakodate highlights.

    Free self-serve ramen 22.00-24.00 every day which was basic but good. Mattress was surprisingly thick and soft. They had a few board games available to use. Basic rooms but overall a good, fairly cheap place to spend the night.

    The kitchen and rooftop balcony was super nice. Didn’t have a oven though so I couldn’t do the dinner I as planning, but I mean you can’t have everything. The hostel is not near the center, it’s in the old city which has many tourist attractions and 15 min of walk to the train station. But I think the location is pretty nice. Especially since is so near the ocean.
