Hotel & Spa Century Marina Hakodate is one of those places where the views alone make it worth staying. From the guest rooms, you get a front-row seat to the city’s skyline, the harbor, and the surrounding mountains. Whether it’s sunrise over the bay or the twinkling city lights at night, the scenery feels like it’s straight out of a postcard.

One of the highlights is the open-air bath on the top floor. Soaking in the warm water while looking out over Hakodate Bay is an experience that’s hard to beat. It’s especially magical during sunset when the whole sky turns shades of orange and pink.

The hotel is also close to some of Hakodate’s most iconic spots, like the Morning Market and the Red Brick Warehouses, which are just a short stroll away. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, Mount Hakodate is nearby, and its night views are famously ranked as some of the best in the world.
