Your stay here places you at the gateway to Yunokawa’s therapeutic wonders and Hakodate’s rich history. Here are three must-visit attractions, all easily accessible from your doorstep:
- Yunokawa Onsen: As one of Hokkaido's oldest hot spring towns, the main attraction begins just moments away. The area is dotted with public bathhouses and *ashi-yu* (foot baths). For a quintessential experience, stroll to the Yunokawa Onsen Footbath (Yunokawa Ashiyu), located a short walk from the hotel. Soaking your feet in the mineral-rich, steaming waters while enjoying the local atmosphere is the perfect, free relaxation ritual.
- Goryokaku Park and Tower: A 10-minute drive or a short bus ride from Corpo Marika A, this iconic star-shaped fort is a sight to behold. Visit Goryokaku Park to stroll among thousands of cherry trees (spectacular in spring) or explore the samurai history of the last bastion of the Shogunate. For a breathtaking panorama, ascend the adjacent Goryokaku Tower. The bird’s-eye view of the unique fort design, especially under seasonal illumination or snowfall, is unforgettable.
- Hakodate Morning Market: Immerse yourself in local energy at this vibrant market, approximately a 15-minute drive or a direct bus ride from the hotel. Open early, it’s the ideal place to savor the freshest seafood Hokkaido has to offer. Don’t miss the chance to try a *ikura-don* (salmon roe bowl) or squid freshly prepared from the tanks. It’s a culinary adventure that connects you directly to Hakodate’s fishing port heritage.
Corpo Marika A masterfully combines the freedom of an apartment with the essentials of a welcoming hotel. Its location in the peaceful Yunokawa Hot Spring area offers a restorative retreat, yet keeps you within easy reach of Hakodate’s dynamic history and vibrant food scene.
