There are many hotels in Hakodate, but one of the most popular among tourists is "La Vista Hakodate Bay." This hotel can be described as specializing in "breakfast." The breakfast here has been praised in various media. You can enjoy a much more satisfying breakfast at this hotel than at the crowded morning market eateries near the station. Please note that the breakfast at this hotel is limited to guests only. The hotel is located a bit away from JR Hakodate Station in the Bay Area. Among the many hotels in Hakodate, this hotel is the furthest towards Mount Hakodate, so one of the attractions is that you can enjoy the view of Mount Hakodate from the hotel rooms (it is recommended to choose a room facing Mount Hakodate). The hotel offers shared taxis to Mount Hakodate (round trip for 2,000 yen) and to Hakodate Station (free). There is a free coffee maker next to the hotel front desk. On the top floor (13th floor), there is a panoramic bath (hot spring) where you can relax while enjoying the views of Mount Hakodate and Hakodate Port. The panoramic bath (especially the men's bath) is open and very refreshing. The water quality is characterized by a high salt content. After bathing, there are ice candies available for free, which feels great on the warmed body. Please note that the rooms do not have baths, only showers. The hotel prices fluctuate depending on the season, but when two of us stayed in the summer, it was around 15,000 yen per person including breakfast. The evaluation of this hotel depends on what you prioritize, but with a wonderful breakfast, functional rooms, and being in the Bay Area, it is a convenient hotel as a base for sightseeing. Breakfast tends to be crowded earlier in the morning. It is recommended to visit around 9 am (or visit when it opens at 6:30 am. Please note that the opening hours may vary depending on the season). For more details on breakfast, it is reviewed in "Hokkaido Banya," but seafood (sashimi, robatayaki) is very abundant in Hakodate style. Sashimi includes sweet shrimp, salmon roe, squid, tuna, and more. Especially, topping a seafood bowl generously with sweet shrimp and salmon roe is a popular choice. The Western menu is also substantial, and the pudding dessert is delicious. In fact, this hotel's breakfast used to be ranked first in "Delicious Breakfast in Hakodate" for many years, but recently it has been surpassed by another accommodation. However, considering the huge price difference, it is not a fair comparison. It is worth appreciating that you can enjoy such a splendid breakfast at this price. While using the hotel's shared taxi to Mount Hakodate is convenient, there is also a bus departing from the Hakodate Summit to Hakodate Station that stops in front of "La Vista Hakodate Bay." It is convenient as it goes directly to the hotel for 500 yen.

I think the hotel breakfast buffet is top-notch. However, it's a bit too greedy to say that the seafood in Hokkaido is exceptionally delicious and unlimited. Just as a breakfast buffet, the cold pumpkin soup and young chicken zangi were of a very high standard, even though seafood tends to steal the spotlight.

One of the highlights of our family trip to Hokkaido. Many comments said the taste was not the best, but we were very satisfied with the breakfast. We lined up before the 6:30 am opening, but they started seating a little early, and were already making the salmon roe bowl by 6:30. We were excited by the atmosphere where you can put as much salmon roe as you want without hesitation!

On the second day of my trip to Hokkaido, we arrived at the hotel at 21:00 after traveling by Shinkansen, having dinner outside the hotel, and enjoying the night view. We soaked in the hot spring and then went to bed. The hotel lobby had a charming interior, and our standard twin room, while not very spacious, offered a view of Mt. Hakodate and the red brick warehouses below. The best part was that the shower booth, washroom, and toilet were separate, which was very convenient. The hot spring on the top floor had an open-air bath and excellent spring quality. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily when we bathed, so we couldn't relax in the outdoor bath. I indulged in two ice creams after the bath. Due to late check-in and early check-out, we couldn't explore much. The highlight of the trip was the breakfast, which had won the title of Japan's best. Despite opening early, there was already a long line before opening time. We managed to secure a window seat with a view of Mt. Hakodate and headed to the food counter. There were various seafood dishes, including ikura, salmon, sweet shrimp, scallops, shishamo, and more. We also enjoyed salmon soup, steamed shrimp dumplings, and various other Hokkaido delicacies. The omelet station, soup curry, zangi, bread, vegetables, fruits, ice cream, milk, and more were also available. The only disappointment was that the famous pudding mentioned on YouTube was not available. The seafood bowl had more ikura than rice, making it a delightful meal. Breakfast in Hakodate is a fierce competition among nearby hotels, and I hope this competition continues. It was truly a blissful moment. Thank you for the meal!

Arrived in Hakodate late at night! On the 2nd and 3rd day, stayed for 2 nights at La Vista Hakodate Bay. This place is famous for its all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. First things first, went to the bath! It had a sauna with a natural hot spring, and you could see the night view of Hakodate Bay from the sauna. Amazing! By the way, you can see the Hakodate Ropeway from the open-air bath. The night view is beautiful. After researching, found out that there is no set time for breakfast and it can get really crowded with a long line. So, lined up about 50 minutes before the opening, and I was the first one there. About 20 minutes before, there were about 40 people in line as rumored. It's unbelievable to line up for hotel breakfast. I wanted to eat slowly, but... Started with a DIY seafood bowl with unlimited salmon roe. There were plenty of local seafood dishes like seafood grill from Hokkaido. Ate until full. Took it easy on the 2nd day. The sauna with a view of the night view was nice. You could also see the night view from the lounge, and there was unlimited ice cream. There were a lot of people from young to foreigners, so I realized it's a popular inn.

I stayed at a different hotel on my second day in Hakodate, mainly for the breakfast buffet. When I arrived at the breakfast restaurant around 6:30 AM, there was a long line of about 30 people. It took about 20 minutes to be seated due to the explanation given at the entrance. Inside, it was not crowded. There were two places with "ikura" (salmon roe) and everyone was lining up for it. I also lined up and enjoyed the all-you-can-eat ikura, which had a unique texture and was delicious. The scallops grilled on the shell and other dishes were also tasty. I might stay here again if I have the chance to visit Hakodate in the future.

The breakfast in the Bay Area of Hakodate is famous for being delicious, and one of the best is the breakfast buffet at La Vista Hakodate Bay. They offer all-you-can-eat hotate (scallops), grilled salmon, sashimi, and you can even make your own original seafood bowl. It's so luxurious that it feels like dinner! The hot springs are also great, and you can enjoy ice candy after bathing. In the room, you can grind fresh coffee beans for a cup of coffee. The night view is beautiful, and the service is excellent. I definitely want to come back to this hotel. It's highly recommended to add the breakfast buffet option.

Hotel breakfast battle of the Three Kingdoms in Hakodate, one of which is La Vista Hakodate Bay. The feature is an all-you-can-eat Hokkaido salmon roe. At the venue, instead of using breakfast tickets, you enter by informing your room number. On this day, I struggled to wake up early and arrived at the venue, the hotel's 2nd floor north guardhouse, at 7:30 am. It is a good service to be able to check the congestion level along with the large public bath on the TV in the room. The venue is designed like a typical izakaya, not a spacious area. Buffet plates are placed within it, so it can be a bit crowded to move around, but everyone skillfully moves around without bumping into each other. And of course, the first place to go is the seafood bowl corner. A large bowl and a small plastic wappa are provided. Personally, if you consider trying various things, I think it's best to use a small bowl to put a small amount of rice. Prepare two of these and divide them into two, one for salmon roe bowl and one for seafood bowl. At this time, it is important to place the rice as flat as possible to make the overall presentation look beautiful. Especially if you care about the appearance, it is better to do so. And of course, the salmon roe is delicious. The thin skin is firm and chewy. It is important not to let it get soggy, as the texture will be poor. The extract that pops out from the inside is also rich. The soy sauce flavor is firmly attached, but the taste of the salmon roe spreads in the mouth. I piled up so much salmon roe that the small amount of rice I prepared first ran out. Satisfied. The seafood bowl includes four types: buri, salmon, negitoro, and sweet shrimp. It's up to personal preference, but focusing on one is also good, and mixing salmon with salmon roe and negitoro is nice. However, since salmon roe is originally soy sauce-pickled, I think it should be separated from the seafood with soy sauce. Other highlights include grilled scallops and freshly fried tempura, as well as unique items such as crab dumpling miso soup and Sanpei soup. Apart from Japanese cuisine, what caught my eye was the omelette live kitchen. The cook's handling seemed a bit risky, but there were three types of sauce: ketchup, cheese sauce, and basil sauce, which was fun. My favorite is the basil sauce. It's a green sauce that's different from the usual. Quite good. I wasn't particularly drawn to the demi-glace hamburger, but the lobster bisque soup was something I had never seen at a breakfast buffet before. It was decently enjoyable. The salad felt slightly lacking in variety, but the standard vegetables were covered. Since it is a cold region, warm vegetables may be better than salads that cool the body. The desserts included rich milk pudding, various cakes, and a decent selection of drinks. There were also cups for takeout, so you could take some back to your room after eating. It was quite fulfilling and enjoyable from the morning. Thank you for the meal. At the neighboring Hakodate Hotel, breakfast is requested to be finished in 40-50 minutes, but there is no specific time request here. In reality, it takes about 15 minutes to decide and start eating after taking from the buffet, including the time to wander, so it will probably take about 1 hour and 15 minutes when considering additional servings. There is no rush there either, but the feeling is different. In the end, you don't stay for a long time, and in that sense, I think you can enjoy your meal leisurely here.

We stayed at La Vista Hakodate Bay for one night with breakfast included on December 27, 2022. It was the last stop of our 3-night, 4-day hot spring trip, and it was our second visit as a family. We booked the budget plan for a low-floor Executive Twin room with an 18:00 late check-in and a 9:00 early check-out. We were extremely satisfied with the room, and both my wife and our youngest son were very happy with its luxury. For dinner, we just had a takeout yakitori bento from Hasesto. The bath was a bit crowded, but it had a proper hot spring water flow. We enjoyed the pot bath with our youngest son while admiring the night view of Hakodate. The next day, we had a delightful breakfast after checking out. With the national discount, our accommodation cost only 12,600 yen, plus 500 yen for parking and 150 yen per adult for the bathing tax. It was an amazing trip, and both my wife and our youngest son were very satisfied. We have stayed at various accommodations in Hakodate, but so far, this one seems to be the best for us.

I had decided to stay here in Hakodate for accommodation. The all-you-can-eat breakfast was very appealing. Breakfast starts at 6 am, and when I arrived around 8 am, there was still a line. However, the restaurant is spacious, so I was seated right away. They offered a wide variety of dishes including seafood such as salmon roe, cod roe, bigeye tuna, sweet shrimp, and squid, as well as grilled seafood, vegetable dishes, yellowtail cutlet, fried chicken, Neapolitan pasta, soup curry, regular Western dishes, desserts, soft serve ice cream, and pudding. I enjoyed the following items: - Seafood bowl: You can pile up your favorite seafood such as salmon roe, cod roe, bigeye tuna, sweet shrimp, and squid. The salmon roe was surprisingly delicious, with just the right amount of soy sauce marination. - Yellowtail cutlet: The yellowtail was delicious, possibly due to the impact of global warming on the availability of yellowtail in Hokkaido. - Grilled seafood: Shrimp, salmon, squid, cod roe - Soi's Aqua Pazza - Yogurt - Pudding - Misuzu Coffee's coffee I was quite full by this point, but the effort put into the meal was evident, and I left very satisfied. The price includes accommodation and breakfast.

This hotel is always enjoyable no matter how many times I come ❤️ I've been here more than 10 times. They have baths, saunas, and cold baths to help relax and heal tiredness. Especially, how much is the all-you-can-eat breakfast? Seafood bowls are all-you-can-eat (lol) There are many things that are typical of Hakodate. Recently, they also have soup curry, which I almost forgot to eat. After having two servings of seafood bowls, I couldn't eat anymore. The squid rings are crispy. The sound of them being crispy next to you is no joke. I wanted to eat them with the soup curry. There was a demonstration of making rolled omelets in the back, so I asked for one. It was very fluffy with a lot of butter. The wiener was a Schauessel? The shrimp violet soup was fluffy and delicious ❤️ I usually have breakfast and lunch here. (lol)

The taste is amazing. I want to eat it again even in my dreams. I will definitely visit again. The atmosphere is great because you can eat surrounded by delicious food in a buffet style. It feels like you have unlimited appetite (overeating is inevitable). The cost performance is reasonable considering the beautiful open-air hot springs and stylish rooms, even though the accommodation fee is not cheap. The location is just right, between the station and the tourist area.

Visited on September 26, 2022 Money spent: Accommodation fee Hot breakfast in Hakodate Bay area! Luxurious seafood bowl with a mountain of salmon roe at the breakfast buffet! ~ La Vista Hakodate Bay ~ The breakfast at hotels in the Hakodate Bay area is gaining a lot of attention for its luxurious and fulfilling offerings, with some even calling it the "Hokkaido Hakodate Hotel Breakfast War." The top three hotels leading this battle are "La Vista Hakodate Bay," "Hakodate Kokusai Hotel," and "Century Marina Hakodate," resembling the Three Kingdoms competing for supremacy like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This time, I stayed at La Vista Hakodate Bay and joined the breakfast buffet battle! It's worth noting that La Vista Hakodate Bay is operated by the same company as the popular business hotel Dormy Inn. The breakfast buffet starts at 6:00, but there was already a line forming at 5:40 in front of the buffet venue! Everyone had the same idea. Luckily, I managed to enter the venue in the first group. Starting the day with a seafood tricolor bowl, overflowing with salmon roe, squid sashimi, and sweet shrimp. What a delight! From grilled scallops and shishamo to Western dishes like omelets made by the chef on the spot, beef stew, and hamburgers, the variety of options available is amazing. It was a delicious morning! Although the accommodation fee at this inn is a bit high, I think it's worth staying here just for the breakfast buffet. #HokkaidoGourmet #HakodateGourmet #LaVistaHakodateBay #SeafoodTricolorBowl #Hakodate #HakodateBreakfastWar

Visited in July 2022, we were able to stay at a luxury hotel that we wouldn't normally be able to afford thanks to a special discount for local residents. The package included a breakfast buffet. We had eaten a lot the night before, so we couldn't enjoy the breakfast buffet as much as we wanted. Still, I managed to try a bit of everything. The highlight was the seafood bowl, especially the squid sashimi and salmon. The squid was a bit pricey, so I savored every bite. I also indulged in some delicious red-fleshed melon for dessert. I ate to my heart's content and left feeling very happy. If given the chance, I would love to stay at this amazing hotel again. Thank you, Ravista Bay!

I went to Hakodate. The hotel I stayed at was "La Vista Hakodate Bay", which ranked 3rd in the "Delicious Breakfast Hotels in Japan Popular with Travel Lovers 2020" list. In addition, the 5th place was "Hakodate Kokusai Hotel" and the 8th place was "Century Marina Hakodate". Hakodate has three hotels in the top 10. Hakodate is said to be a fierce battleground for hotel breakfasts. Each hotel competes with each other, striving to liven up the entire area. The trendsetter was "La Vista Hakodate Bay". The seafood bowl corner they provided was the starting point. Originally, Hakodate hotels did not focus on breakfast because there was a morning market in Hakodate. Taking advantage of this, "La Vista Hakodate Bay" incorporated the morning market into the hotel. The sight of generously topping rice with overflowing salmon roe was impressive, frequently featured in the media, gaining nationwide popularity and becoming a popular hotel where customers flock for breakfast. Therefore, I had high expectations for the hotel's breakfast. Especially since I love salmon roe. I went with the desire to satisfy my overflowing salmon roe cravings with this breakfast. Breakfast attracts a line early in the morning. If you're a bit late, you might have to wait for a seat. It's best to line up at least 30 minutes before opening. When it's time to open, first secure your seat. Then go get the food, but don't rush to the seafood corner. Start with vegetables and salad. Chew well and calm your stomach with dietary fiber. Then, finally head to the seafood corner. Don't be greedy here either. Take a little bit at a time. But with the salmon roe, a little extra on the rice... Small grains, but quite delicious salmon roe. Not only Japanese cuisine but also Western cuisine is plentiful. You can have omelets cooked in front of you. The basil sauce is refreshing and nice. There was also soup curry. It was quite ordinary. In addition, there were desserts and a great lineup. A delicious breakfast. Thank you for the meal. I will write a little about the hotel room. It was quite spacious and had a nice view from the window. There was hand-ground coffee, so you could have freshly ground coffee. The aroma was nice. It was a very cozy room.

【La Vista Hakodate Bay】 A resort hotel overlooking the night view of Hakodate, one of the three greatest night views in the world, inspired by the Taisho Roman era. Known for being selected as the number one hotel for "delicious breakfast" in Japan, the breakfast featuring fresh seafood from Hakodate is a luxurious treat. 【Order】 ◉ Breakfast Buffet The specialty of La Vista Hakodate Bay is the breakfast buffet. A must-try is the "Self-serve Seafood Bowl" where you can fully enjoy the fresh seafood from Hakodate. With a wide variety of options besides seafood, this place is highly recommended for breakfast enjoyment. 【Info】 (Shop Name) La Vista Hakodate Bay (Shop IG) @lavista_hakodatebay (Nearest Station) Uoichidori (Address) 12-6 Toyokawa-cho, Hakodate, Hokkaido (TEL) 0138-23-6111 #LaVistaHakodateBay #HokkaidoGourmet #HokkaidoLunch #HokkaidoDinner #HokkaidoMorning #HakodateGourmet #HakodateLunch #HakodateDinner #HakodateMorning

Hotel La Vista in Toyokawa-cho, Hakodate City, offers excellent convenience, location, and cost performance. I was looking forward to the breakfast at La Vista Hakodate. It was a highly rated breakfast buffet. I used the local discount, which made it even more affordable. After this, we had plans for a traditional sukiyaki lunch and fresh squid sashimi for a snack, so I was told to "eat moderately." However... I couldn't resist piling on my favorite sashimi for a seafood bowl! Unlimited salmon, squid, octopus, and more! I couldn't resist adding more sashimi on the side, and my excitement went through the roof. There were also grilled seafood and vegetables, live omelets, soup curry, and various side dishes. I was so full that I couldn't even get to the bread. "Oops, I ate too much!" To digest, we strolled through the slopes of Hakodate. Feeling hungry, we moved on to the next spot. The hot springs were also very good. I liked the salty hot spring with just the right temperature. The hinoki bath in the style of Goemon's bath was also lovely. I was truly healed. From the open-air bath, you could see Hakodate Mountain, the port, ships, and the town. A great hotel. I would love to visit again. Thank you for the feast. Thank you very much.

Rabista offers a variety of dining options, but this breakfast venue was unlike any other I've experienced. The abundance of ingredients was incredible - I stayed for two nights and couldn't finish everything. The specialty seafood bowl allows you to create your own dish with ikura, squid, salmon, and more on a bed of rice. There was also a wide selection of Japanese dishes available for self-service. On the second day, I opted for the Western-style dishes, but couldn't finish it all. If you want to fully enjoy the dining experience, I highly recommend staying for multiple nights.

Visited on April 19, 2022 • This hotel is famous for its delicious breakfast. It was also recently featured on TV. I had already decided to stay here before even deciding on my destination for the trip. Not many people mention this, but the location is also great. It is within walking distance from Hakodate Station and Hakodateyama Sanroku Station. There are also bus stops nearby, and you can easily use the streetcar. In addition, there is a natural hot spring with a view of Hakodate, and the view from the rooms is excellent. But the highlight is definitely the breakfast. They have a buffet style with thorough infection prevention measures. You can make your own seafood bowl. The freshness and taste are outstanding. The sea urchin may be missing, but the salmon roe, shrimp, octopus, and squid are all excellent. I was very satisfied. I was tempted to have another seafood bowl, but I resisted and tried their homemade pudding and milk crepe, which were also delicious. I even thought about staying longer just to try the beef stew they had. It may not be easy to visit again, but this hotel makes you want to come back and stay again.

This time, I stayed at the highly popular "La Vista Hakodate Bay," which is operated by Kyoritsu Resort, the company behind my regular business trip hotel, Dormy Inn. The main purpose of this trip was to use up my expiring miles, but the real reason I came to Hakodate was to stay at this hotel. The highlight is the breakfast buffet, where you can enjoy unlimited domestic salmon roe and a variety of Western dishes and desserts. The rooms are clean, and the rooftop has a large communal bath and an open-air hot spring bath with natural spring water, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of traveling. However, the hotel is so popular that you may have to wait for over 30 minutes to check in or have breakfast. I also wish the souvenir corner was a bit more extensive.

During my 2-night, 3-day stay in Hakodate, I booked a room at the "La Vista Hakodate Bay," operated by Kyoritsu Resort, which I always stay at. I made the reservation 3 months in advance. I actually stayed at this hotel during my first trip to Hakodate 13 years ago. At that time, I opted for a plan without breakfast. The view of the morning sun on Mount Hakodate from the bathing area is still unforgettable to me. If I were to visit Hakodate again, I decided that I would stay at the same hotel. In recent years, the hotel's breakfast has been a topic of discussion, and I heard that it is now difficult to make a reservation. So, I made sure to book a plan with breakfast for 2 days. It was a good decision because I was able to enjoy both Japanese and Western breakfasts on different days. The seafood bowl, beef stew, and seafood paella were particularly delicious. The breakfast venue, "Kitano Yashiki," is on the 2nd floor. The breakfast is so popular that it starts 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. I had to wake up before 6 am to make sure I got a good seat. The breakfast was so good that I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
