The view from a train-view room

How about a train view?

This time we would like to introduce the unique charm of JR Inn Hakodate, a hotel adjacent to JR Hakodate Station.
JR Inn Hakodate is located perpendicular to the tracks of JR Hakodate Station.
Therefore, if you stay in a room with a train view, you can see a view of a train advancing toward the hotel as shown in the photo above.
This is a very rare train view unique to Hakodate, where there are no tracks beyond the station.
In addition to the train, you can also see a detention line and a turntable, which is rare nowadays.

On the top floor, where the public baths are located, there is a lounge where guests can freely read about 500 books, including books related to Hakodate and Hokkaido, as well as books on railroads.
In the lounge, guests can enjoy a cup of coffee from Misuzu Coffee, a long-established coffee shop in Hakodate, and relax while enjoying the view of Mount Hakodate.
The lighting and cushions in the lounge are pentagonal in shape, inspired by Goryokaku (Five Ridges fortress), which also gives a sense of Hakodate.
