Mount Esan Tours

The hotel was a bit outdated, but well maintained and clean. Amenities were thoughtful and easy to find. We were invited to help ourselves to combs, hair ties, cotton pads, and extra yukatas to borrow. LThere was a sauna, jet bath, and an outside bath overlooking the ocean(roten buro). Staff were courteous and helpful. I was glad choosing the option including the breakfast, which was amazing, and had a variety of traditional Japanese, American, and dessert foods.

Yah, the glowing online reviews are pretty accurate. The breakfast at this place surpasses the ones in Vegas easily. Ample seafood including ikura, sake, champagne.. it was bonkers. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Onsen, especially the outdoor Bossanova lounge. Was surreal to see steam rising from the bathes while you gazed at the stars above in the night sky. Probably the only con is that the buffet was so awesome there really wasn’t a point to eat at the stellar Hakodate morning market, which is a very first world problem! I’ve already heartily recommended this place to my friends and family.

A true joy to stay in. From check-in to check-out.
