Hakodate's No.1 Breakfast at the Century Marina Hot Spring Hotel

During a self-drive trip to Hokkaido, I stayed for two nights in Hakodate, and the reason I chose Century Marina was the rooftop open-air hot spring I saw in the photos. Soaking in the bath with a view of the sea, the hotel is both new and chill. But the actual stay was full of even more pleasant surprises. Firstly, the rooftop hot spring is on the 14th floor indoors and the 15th floor outdoors. Not only can you see the sea, but the night view of the area is also unobstructed, and you can even see Mount Hakodate and the Kanemori Warehouse Group. After a bath, you can go to the 14th-floor lounge for a snack, sitting comfortably on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling windows enjoying the brightly lit night view of Hakodate. Then, the most amazing surprise was the buffet breakfast. The variety was truly six-star resort level, ranging from seafood, salads, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, fruits, desserts, waffles, and even sparkling wine! There were also freshly cooked hot pots, and what's more impressive is that the menu changes daily, which is very thoughtful. A breakfast that was supposed to take only half an hour ended up lasting nearly two hours, and I was so full that I didn't even need to visit the nearby morning market! The location is also very convenient, situated between Hakodate Station and the Kanemori Warehouse, each about a 10-minute walk away. The famous Hakodate morning market is even closer, making it convenient to go anywhere. The hotel is very new, clean, and comfortable to stay in. Upon check-in, you can choose not only a pillow but also an essential oil scent to be placed inside the pillow to help with sleep, which is very considerate! Next time you visit Hakodate, don't forget to experience the rooftop open-air hot spring at the Century Marina Hotel, as well as the No. 1 ranked breakfast in Hakodate hotels.
