Here is how to get there:
- JR Hakodate Station: Approx. 3-minute walk (Head toward the Morning Market after exiting the station).
- Hakodate Airport: Approx. 20 minutes by car/taxi (or a 3-minute walk from the drop-off point if taking the Airport Limousine Bus to Hakodate Station).
- Streetcar (Tram): Approx. 4-minute walk from “Hakodate-Ekimae” stop.
- Car / Rental Car: On-site parking available (1,000 JPY per night, unlimited entries and exits).
Local Tip: Its proximity to Hakodate Station makes it extremely convenient for anyone traveling by train or bus! Plus, being just a 1-minute walk from the Hakodate Morning Market means you can easily stroll over in the morning to buy fresh seafood or enjoy street food.
Guest Rooms: Condominium Style with Full Kitchens
Step into a room at Danshaku Club, and you’ll instantly notice how different it is from a standard hotel!
Every single room is a spacious condominium setup measuring at least 41 square meters (441 sq ft). The living room and bedroom are comfortably separated, and all rooms come equipped with a private balcony, living space, and full kitchen.
With a microwave, large refrigerator, cooking utensils, and seasonings provided, you can easily buy fresh ingredients from local supermarkets or fishmongers and host a private cooking party in your room!
Here is what recent guests have to say:
“The room was so spacious! Resting in the living area truly felt like being at home.”
“Having a full kitchen was amazing. We bought fresh seafood at the Morning Market and cooked it right in our room!”
“Every room has a private balcony with fantastic views of Mount Hakodate and the cityscape.”
Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or even with a dog (they offer dog-friendly rooms!), Danshaku Club offers a luxurious “home away from home” experience.
Dining: Breakfast & Dinner Delivered to Your Room
The most unique concept of Danshaku Club is “The City is Your Dining Room.” Instead of a noisy, crowded central buffet hall, they offer an elegant room-service style or dining options at partner restaurants!
For breakfast, you can choose from three wonderful options at check-in:
- Morning Market Dining: Visit a partnered restaurant in the market.
- In-Room Seafood Bowl: Have fresh seafood bowls (Kaisendon) or bento boxes delivered straight from the Morning Market to your room!
- Western Bakery Basket: Enjoy a delivered basket filled with freshly baked bread and warm items.
Waking up in your pajamas and enjoying a fresh seafood bowl or hot bakery bread in total privacy is a luxury unique to this high-end resort!
For dinner, catering options are available, or the hotel concierge can recommend and reserve authentic local izakayas and restaurants frequented by Hakodate locals.
Onsen & Bathroom Facilities
When booking Danshaku Club, there is one important detail to keep in mind: the hotel does not have a public hot spring (onsen) or large shared bath.
If you are specifically looking for a traditional public bath, don’t worry just yet!
Every room features a spacious “View Bath” with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a separate shower area. You can relax in a deep, automatic-fill tub while soaking in the views of Mount Hakodate and the city skyline.
If you still want a hot spring experience, taking a short walk to nearby bay area bathhouses or visiting Yachigashira Onsen is a local-favorite way to enjoy hot spring hopping!
Hotel Facilities & Amenities
The interior boasts a sophisticated, quiet atmosphere designed for adults. You won’t find noisy game centers or loud entertainment facilities here.
Instead, the refined front lobby features a dedicated concierge desk ready to assist with personalized requests. On the first floor, you’ll find a stylish cafe and shop selling original goods and curated Hakodate souvenirs.
The in-room amenities are equally top-notch, including luxury bath salts, skincare sets, and a coffee maker—making it hard to ever want to leave your room!
Local Recommended Spots Near the Hotel
Here is how you can make the most of your stay using the room’s kitchen and local insider tricks:
- Hakodate Morning Market (1-min walk):Located right behind the hotel! Buy fresh crab and scallops from local fishmongers and cook them directly in your room’s kitchen for an incredible feast.
- Hasegawa Store – Hakodate Station Branch (3-min walk):Pick up Hakodate’s ultimate local comfort food, Yakitori Bento (grilled pork skewers on rice), reheat it in your room’s microwave, and enjoy it on your balcony with a cold beer!
