Yunokawa Prince Hotel Nagisatei: The Ryokan that has 115 outdoor hot spring baths!

Yunokawa Prince Hotel Nagisatei, located in Hakodate, Hokkaido prefecture, has 115 outdoor hot spring baths. There is no other Ryokan or hotel that has such a huge number of outdoor baths in Japan. The baths are standard in each room, facing the ocean. People like this because they can relax in the outdoor bath 24/7 with a spectacular view of the ocean. Nagisatei is also well known for its excellent breakfast and dinner services, served at their restaurants, which are included in the room charge. “Asaika,” squid captured in the morning and served within a few hours at the restaurants, is particularly famous for its excellent taste. It is usually available from mid June until October, reaching its peak in August. The nationwide poll for the top Ryokan in Japan always places Nagisatei within the top three Ryokan in Japan. Please visit Hokkaido on the map of "Ryokan" of Grand Collection of Japanese Traditions and you will find this Ryokan there.
