Great place and tranquil for relaxed vacation, if you don't mind the long distance it's pretty far from city center about 20 minutes ride by taxi, very far from Shin Hakodate shinkansen station, if you're using JR train pass you may take a train from Shin hakodate station to Hakodate station then take a bus or a taxi cab to the hotel, awesome onsen, very good breakfast, if you plan to dine in the hotel make a reservation in advance do to very limited seating but you'll enjoy the dinner for sure, walking distance to The Monkey park and the beaches, nice walk next to the river, all in all an excellent place to stay away from the city hustle and bustle, highly recommended, super friendly staff, would help if you learn some Japanese language.
