Kappo Ryokan Wakamatsu

We stayed here in October 2026 while visiting from Kyoto. As you would expect from a traditional ryokan with kaiseki dining, everything was exceptional—not only the flavor and presentation of the dishes, but also the perfect timing and the attentive service. It felt like dining at a fine restaurant in Kyoto, and we truly enjoyed a relaxing, memorable time. From welcome to farewell, we were grateful for the thoughtful hospitality and attention to detail that you rarely find at larger hotels. We would love to stay again when we visit Hakodate.

I found this ryokan while looking for a place where my elderly mother could relax at her own pace. Although it is a long-established inn, the furnishings and ikebana arrangements were tasteful and never felt old-fashioned. The room and bath were spotless down to every corner, so we were able to stay in complete comfort. The ocean view filling the entire window was wonderfully calming.True to its name as a kappo ryokan, every dish was outstanding. I was especially moved by the uni tofu appetizer. The beautiful tableware made the experience feel even more luxurious. By the time dessert came, we were too full, so they kindly prepared it for us in the refrigerator in our room.Every staff member greeted us with warm smiles and attentive service that made us feel at ease. I think this is an ideal place for anyone who wants to spend quiet, unhurried time.
