Wonderful stay - so comfortable and welcoming and in a great location (we came by train). Would definitely return as we loved the city as much as the hotel.

Stay here for the Best of Early 20th CenturyJapan!
We waited 5 years to stay here and this delightful inn did not disappoint!
Wild pink roses grow up the brick wall outside the door in a subtle nod to the charming 1920s Queen Anne parlor style furniture in the lobby. There are vintage Japanese accents, nature themed paintings and dried florals that complete the decor throughout the boarding house style inn.
Our cozy room was done in autumn shades of Laura Ashley type florals. And, yes, the red vintage telephone in the photo is how to call the front desk! The two twin beds were comfortable. Our private bath contained the most luscious lavender shampoo and conditioner. The body wash made our skin as soft and smooth as silk.
Our host and staff were welcoming and kind. Non-Japanese speaking will have no problem. We opted for no housekeeping and found a basket outside our door each day containing fresh towels, kimonos, and an assortment of the items travelers run out of, lose or forget.
We will be back!
Thank you Pension Puppy Tail!

Very (very!) friendly staff, clean rooms, easily accessible free parking, good location near Hakodate Station. While breakfast is not available, the hotel is very close to the Hakodate morning market, so fresh sushi is only a short stroll away.

Basic amenities in a lovely Japanese style room - not fancy but very pretty hotel and thoughtful service. A very quick walk to the JR Station makes sightseeing easy.

Recommended!!
Single Japanese style room with shared bathroom for 3 nights. Very easy to find the place, a short walk from the station, no slope. They clean the room and make the mattress everyday. Japanese type bathroom that comes with a shared hot bath that's prepared daily. There's only one bathroom (for ladies. Don't know about men's) so hopefully the one before you doesn't hog on to it for too long. The owner is super-friendly and can understand basic English well. He is so nice that he offered me a ride to the station after check-out because it's raining! The only downside is the room has a smell, maybe coming from the tatami. But it's acceptable after awhile with the aircon on.

small, but clean & cozy
room was a little small, but definitely clean & cozy. comes with all necessary toiletries (shiseido products), towels, hair dryer and even pyjamas. Staff (owners) were very friendly and approachable, speaks good English too. Free parking available for those who drives as well and conveniently located just beside Eneos (petrol station).

Convenient location and friendly staff
The tatami room accommodates 4 of us with moderate luggage. It's close to morning market and Hakodate Mountain. The family staff is very friendly and enjoys taking to the guests. Free and available parking adds another benefit.

very pleasant b&b
rooms are clean, house in sweetly decorated, place is clean. Easy to locate, situated along main road coming into Hakodate, yet not too close to city centre. JR station , fish market all within walking distance.
