Park Yeri Olan Noboribetsu Otelleri

This traditional Japanese ryokan features a private onsen and is located about 8 minutes on foot from the main road with restaurants and 20 minutes from the entrance to Jigokudani (Hell Valley). The interior is beautifully maintained in classic style, with tatami flooring throughout the common areas and guest rooms, which are furnished with comfortable futon bedding. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped with amenities. Anything not already provided can be taken from the selection near the reception. Guests receive a yukata to wear around the ryokan and to the onsen. Complimentary drinks are available at reception, though they request you enjoy them in your room rather than common areas. The gender-separated onsen, while small, has everything needed for a relaxing soak. Each bathing area includes both indoor and outdoor pools, and they alternate daily between men's and women's use. During my stay, it was never crowded. One disappointment was being unable to book the in-room dinner service upon morning arrival, as it was apparently too late to arrange. Those interested should probably reserve at least a day in advance. Overall, it's a comfortable, authentic ryokan experience with superb service and good facilities.

We had a good overall stay at Daiichi Takimotokan, a large traditional ryokan-style hotel. While the property is a little dated, it is well maintained and kept clean. The hotel itself offers plenty to do, including restaurants, a souvenir shop, simple arcade games, karaoke, massage services, a public onsen, and even a small reading area with Japanese books. You can easily spend time exploring the building without needing to go out. The location is very convenient. It is just outside the main (short) shopping street and within walking distance to Jigokudani, making it easy to explore the area. Our stay included breakfast and dinner buffet. Dinner had a wide variety of options, including popular sashimi selections and steamed snow crabs, along with both Japanese and Western dishes. Breakfast was a simpler spread but still satisfying. We stayed in a Japanese-style room and found the futons comfortable to sleep on. As we visited during winter, the room had central heating only. At times, we cooled the room by slightly opening the window to let in some cold air. Yukata robes are provided in the room (or you can choose one that fits you at the lobby), and you can wear them around the hotel when heading to the onsen, restaurants, or arcade. The public onsen area is spacious and features many different pools with various functions, so you can take your time and enjoy the experience. Just remember to wash yourself thoroughly at the shower stations before entering the onsen pools. Unfortunately, we did not try the outdoor onsen despite it being open — we were a little intimidated by the winter cold! Overall, we would recommend this hotel, especially for first-timers who want to experience staying in a traditional ryokan. Tip: There are direct buses to and from the hotel from New Chitose Airport and Sapporo. The bus stop is only about 50 metres from the hotel entrance, which made walking in the snow much easier for us. However, the service runs only once a day, so be sure to check the schedule and plan your itinerary accordingly.

First time stay in onsen ryotei. Very traditional room but huge! Even though it's old but quite well-maintained. My room comes with private onsen and it so worth it. I don't have to go to the public onsen and can dip into the onsen tub anytime I want. Room amenities is very well equipped. Coffee machine and dessert plus drinks are complimentary. Staff will go into your room during dinner time to prepare your futon or tatami bed. The room comes with kaiseki dinner and breakfast. Both are good especially the dinner. It's like fine dining with 10 courses. All taste magnificent and very good. Staff is very attentive too by explaining every dish served in a private room. I enjoyed the stay and food very much! Well worth money spent! This hotel located a bit deep end and public transport a bit difficult from the KTX station to the ryotei so please take a cab to and fro. That's the easiest way and the hotel staff can help to book for cab back to the KTX station too.

The carb is just so so , all you can eat standard. The open air Osen is really big. Nearby &-eleven, shops and restaurant , is a good location.

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The highlight was definitely the *authentic Japanese set dinner and breakfast* provided as part of the package. The *kaiseki-style dinner* was beautifully presented, with a variety of seasonal dishes that showcased local ingredients and flavors. Every course—from the sashimi to the simmered and grilled items—was crafted with care and balance. It felt like a true cultural experience rather than just a meal. Breakfast the next morning was equally impressive—a traditional *Japanese set meal* with rice, miso soup, grilled fish, pickles, and a few small side dishes. Everything was fresh and prepared with a light, healthy touch. The meals alone made the stay worthwhile, especially if you're looking to immerse yourself in *authentic Japanese hospitality and cuisine*. Highly recommended for those who appreciate traditional food in a peaceful, relaxing environment.

Great location – just a short walk to Hell Valley and surrounded by lots of restaurants and shops. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. Free yukata is provided, so you can walk around the onsen town in style. The best part is the unlimited access to both the inn’s own hot spring and the big Takimotokan Grand Bath. There’s also a bakery in the lobby with fresh bread and coffee. Cons : Wi-Fi is very poor (especially in the rooms), check-out is early at 10am, and the natural sulphur smell from the hot springs is noticeable not only around town but also sometimes in the rooms. Overall, a convenient and affordable stay.

Great service from the hotel staff. Hotel room is a little old but it's clean and the bed is comfortable. The highlight of the hotel is definitely the Onsen. They rotate the left & right side of the onsen between male and female everyday. Which is great because you get to view on both side. They have a few different onsen 'pool' - sulfur , salt, iron, cold onsen. The outdoor onsen is best with the waterfall view. The dinner package is definitely worth the money. Beer is not included in the package but the local beer is a must try especially the ipa.

Hotel includes dinner and breakfast. Dining is at the ”food hall”, buffet style. Not including the study drinks yen 350. There is a kids corner on the right when entering the cashier counter. The room was on. Japanese style. Maybe due to the environment, the room looks tired. All mental parts were badly rushed in toilet. Car parking is behind the hotel up the hill. Walking to the hell valley is a good 10-15 walk up hill. Could just drive up and park for yen 500. Overall the place was OK, just old feeling

From Noboribetsu train station, take a bus bound for Ashiyu Iriguchi & take off at the last stop which is in front of the hotel. Bus only accept cash or physical credit card (no IC card). Around 15 mins walk to Jigokudani & centre area. Have free shuttle to Bear Park. Breakfast & dinner is buffet style with lots of choices. The Japanese Western room is spacious, has 2 beds and tatami area. Onsen on the 7/F (outdoor & indoor) and 8/F (indoor only). Overall experience GOOD.

We had a pleasant 2-night stay at this refined ryokan, centrally located in Noboribetsu and just steps away from the Jigokudani (Hell Valley) and trail access to the surrounding area and a natural foot bath in the woods. Upon arrival, we received a courteous welcome and were served a small treat and matcha before entering our suite. Our suite was a comfortable and spacious western style room (two twin beds) with private outdoor onsen and sitting balcony overlooking the lush foliage of the hillside. All meals were served in the dining room of our suite through a service door. Meals are omakase style—exquisite and tastefully presented, with dishes that varied each day, nothing repeated. Though we enjoyed the public onsens (particularly the outdoor baths on the ground floor), we most preferred the luxury of having our own private onsen. I highly recommend this ryokan if you’re looking for an elevated onsen experience!
