Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen Umi to Akari/ Hewitt Resort

Located in Yunokawa Onsen-one of Hokkaido’s three major hot spring resorts-this seaside retreat offers a luxurious stay overlooking the Tsugaru Strait. The highlight is the rooftop infinity open-air bath, where the horizon blends seamlessly with the sea and sky. At night, guests can enjoy the enchanting view of the moon and the glowing lights of fishing boats that inspired the hotel’s name, “Umi to Akari” (Sea and Light). Watching the moonlight shimmer on the water while sipping local Hakodate sake is an unforgettable experience.
