Hotel Tetora Yunokawaonsen
6,2/10 Good - Based on 18 reviews
Located in the heart of Hakodate, this ryokan exudes a soothing atmosphere where tradition and simplicity converge to offer a rejuvenating stay. The onsen hot springs, nestled within a natural setting, invite you to a true relaxation break. The murmur of the water, the time-worn stones, and the intimacy of the place create a harmonious setting conducive to serenity. With services such as a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi connection, and free parking, everything is designed for a warm and convenient welcome.
True to Japanese aesthetics, the rooms offer clean and comfortable spaces, where wood and tatami infuse an authentic ambiance. You can choose between the modernity of twin beds or the traditional elegance of futons in Japanese-style rooms. With amenities such as a kettle, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV, each accommodation combines modern comfort and picturesque charm to meet the expectations of discerning travelers.
The on-site restaurant offers cuisine infused with local flavors, ideal for discovering Hokkaido’s gastronomy. Nearby, establishments like Hakodate Menya Ichimonji allow you to explore typical dishes in a friendly setting. This ryokan in Hakodate thus offers a harmonious blend of culinary and cultural experiences, just steps away from iconic sites such as Goryōkaku Park and Mount Hakodate. A sensory adventure not to be missed.

Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
4/10 Simple but somewhat disappointing, this ryokan mixes modern and traditional elements without a striking impression. The baths benefit from a pleasant setting but lack a distinctive charm. The rooms, though inspired, do not offer a typical refinement. The culinary experience could greatly gain in authenticity and sophistication.
