Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

This overnight service operates year-round, but travelling during the winter months offers the magical experience of waking up to Hakodate's snow-dusted landscapes before warming up in Yunokawa Onsen. For milder weather and vibrant coastal views, the late spring and early autumn seasons are ideal, though you should book well in advance as these are peak travel periods.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

  • Capture the stunning sunrise over the Tsugaru Strait from the Mount Hakodate observation deck shortly after your morning arrival

  • Photograph the steam rising from the outdoor rock baths at Yunokawa Onsen during the crisp early morning light for a moody, atmospheric shot

  • Please refrain from using flash photography or taking pictures of other passengers inside the cabin to respect everyone's privacy and sleep

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When visiting Yunokawa Onsen, remember to thoroughly wash and rinse your body at the shower stations before entering the communal hot spring baths. It is customary to keep small modesty towels out of the bathwater and to avoid loud conversations to maintain the tranquil, meditative atmosphere of the onsen.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

  • Hakodate Port Festival in early August features spectacular fireworks displays and traditional folk dances that light up the summer night sky

  • The Hakodate Illumination event from December to February transforms the Motomachi district and red-brick warehouses into a dazzling winter wonderland

  • Yunokawa Onsen's winter monkey-watching season peaks between December and March, offering adorable photo opportunities at the Tropical Botanical Garden

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and after your hot spring bath to prevent dizziness or dehydration from the high water temperatures

  • Keep your valuables, passport, and wallet in a small cross-body bag or pouch that you can keep with you on your seat while you sleep

  • Limit your time in the hot spring baths to fifteen minutes per session, especially if you are new to onsen bathing, to avoid overheating

Goryokaku Park is located within Goryokaku. Goryokaku is a star-shaped fortress castle built in the Edo period. It was built in Western architecture. This castle that has witnessed history now only has the outer outline of the city wall, and the interior has been converted into a city park. That is Goryokaku Park. Cherry Blossom Viewing Resort Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Hokkaido, with cherry trees planted all over it. Every time the cherry blossoms bloom, it looks like a huge five-pointed star-shaped pink flower, which is very beautiful. There is now a Hakodate School in the Hakodate Fusho Park, which collects weapons used in the war, blood-stained samurai uniforms, and restored models of many buildings. Overlooking the Five-pointed Star In addition, there is also a Goryokaku Tower outside the park. Climbing the tower can overlook the whole picture of Goryokaku Park. The shape of the five-pointed star is clearly visible, and the streetscape of Hakodate can be seen from afar. Dream of the Five-Edged Star Every winter, a night-lighting event called "Dream of the Five-Edged Star" is held here. The frozen moat is covered with white snow, and the star-shaped pattern in the park is clearer and more beautiful. The walk is very romantic.
