Hakkoda Hotel

Arriving at the Hotel and being greeted with “Welcome back” makes me feel relieved every time. This time, I stayed for two nights and enjoyed a relaxing soak at Sukayu Onsen (the sulfur is excellent). I was also able to use the Hotel’s Onsen without it being crowded, which helped soothe both body and mind. Hakkoda Hotel is famous for its French cuisine, but the Japanese meals also reflect the chef’s dedication. Each visit brings new discoveries for both the eyes and the palate, and I always look forward to it. This time, they also accommodated my request regarding portion size, so I could enjoy everything deliciously while savoring it with both eyes and taste buds. The drink explanations (wine, etc.) were also thorough, which I appreciated. That said, since the dining area isn’t very large, I personally hope things remain calm enough to relax as they are now. I was impressed by how hard the new staff members are working, and the long-time staff continue to provide a reassuring sense of comfort. I plan to visit again in late autumn, and I look forward to seeing you then as well.

I stayed in Aomori for 3 nights and 4 days, and used this Hotel on the second night. Dinner was Japanese, and breakfast offered a choice of Japanese or Western; I chose Japanese (my family chose Western).Both meals were of a quality that surpassed even a traditional fine-dining kaiseki course. The grilled “Kinkin” was exceptionally delicious. The morning croissant in the Western breakfast was so crispy it felt like a cookie. I highly recommend trying it.The service was also excellent and made for a very pleasant stay.It seems the admission fee voucher for Sukayu Onsen is available at this Hotel, so I regret going before check-in. Since it’s close by, I recommend checking in first.
