Rooftop spa (Stella)
The main draw. Century Marina has a rooftop infinity spa on floors 14-15 with panoramic views over Hakodate Bay and Mt. Hakodate. Natural sodium-chloride hot spring, certified as a "beauty skin" onsen.
- Hours: 5:30 AM – 12:30 AM
- 14F: Indoor baths + saunas
- 15F: Rooftop infinity spa + open-air deck
- Post-bath lounge: 14F, 6pm–11pm, drinks and soft cream with night views
The spa is gender-separated communal bathing — no private/family bath option. For Ryan: an early morning soak (5:30–7am) is the best strategy to avoid crowds. Private onsen options are available at the next hotel, Nonokaze Resort.
