The trolley from Hakodate station stops about 1-1/2 blocks from the hotel, so no need for a taxi. Be sure to add the breakfast to your reservation - the buffet is an incredible value for the money, and a great way to start a day of sightseeing! You're less than a mile from Goryokaku, 20 minutes by trolley to the onsens at the eastern end of the line, and 15-20 minutes from Hakodate station, the red brick warehouses, Mt. Hakodate ropeway, and the old public hall.
