Booking Tips

Many Yunokawa hotels include elaborate dinner and breakfast buffets, so compare half-board rates rather than room-only. Sea-view rooms and private baths book up first, so reserve early. The tram links Yunokawa to central Hakodate in about half an hour, keeping the sights within easy reach.
