Top Hotels Near Oiwake Museum in Esashi from AU$101

"Due to no other fault than my own, I missed my Shinkansen from Shin-Hakodate to Tokyo during one the busiest times of the year (New Year's holiday). I needed a place to stay near Shin-Hakodate station for the night until I could figure out how I would be getting back to Tokyo. Thank God I stumbled across this gem! Seriously, after booking this hotel, I am now looking for their chain hotels in other prefectures. PROS: Not only was it less than $50 a night (during peak holiday season) but it was like a 2 minute walk from Shin-Hakodate station, with Taxi's right outside the station if needed. The room was actually bigger than most budget hotels I've stayed at in Japan and it was kept very clean. Customer service was great. Ladies working the food area are extremely friendly. Loved them! They're able to hold your luggage before/after checkout. Oh! The food! Okay it's no breakfast buffet at the Ritz, but your breakfast is included AND they offer free curry and rice at night! If your aim is the save money, I would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat. With all the money you saved, you could treat yourself to an amazing kaisendon somewhere haha! CONS: I think the only drawback is, there's nothing really around the station. You would have to take a 15-20 minute train ride to Hakodate where there are more things to do, see and eat. But other than that, if you need a place to rest for the night before taking your Shinkansen, I would definitely recommend this place. "

"a bit isolated from the town,but worth to check out"

"They had night PJ with Kimono top and pants. The hot tub was excellent"

"Very impressed with the Onoma Tsuruga Resort. We stayed for two nights in November and loved the property. The room we had , with a private rotemburo was very nice. It was much larger than most rooms in Japan, had excellent facilities, and the private outdoor bath was the real winner. We also enjoyed dining at the hotel. The French multi-course dinner was excellent and while not cheap (we paid 16,000 Yen per person), it was well worth it. Service, presentation, and cooking were all very impressive. There is also an excellent wine list, with good options by the glass or bottle. The setting of the hotel is lovely, by the side of the marsh (konuma). It is very quiet and relaxing, surrounded by nature. The little resort town of onumakouen is nearby, with lots of little stores, cafes, and activities. This is a less well known spot in Hokkaido, compared with Niesko or Furano, but it's so beautiful. Having a car will really help out. Anyway, the hotel is highly recommended. We enjoyed the very nice touches, like freely available wine in the bar in the afternoon and evening. It's not cheap, but we felt we got excellent value for money and look forward to staying at the other Tsuruga properties in Hokkaido. "
