Hot Springs Hotels in Noboribetsu

My first visit to Takinoya was eight years ago, and coming back after all this time, I'm truly impressed by how well everything has been maintained. Although the ryokan has some age to it, it doesn't feel old-fashioned at all. It's truly the best onsen ryokan in Hokkaido in my opinion. We stayed in the D-type room, which not only had its own private onsen but also a separate dining room – incredibly convenient.

I had a wonderful stay at Kashoutei Hanaya and it turned out to be one of the most memorable ryokan experiences of my Hokkaido trip. This is not a large luxury resort. In fact, the property is relatively small and has a traditional, old-fashioned Japanese ryokan atmosphere. Some parts of the building show their age, but everything is very clean, well maintained, and full of character. What really makes this place special is the service. Because the hotel is small, the staff are able to provide a very personal and attentive experience. Everything is organized smoothly, yet it never feels mechanical or overly formal. Instead, you can genuinely feel the warmth and hospitality of the people working there. It feels much more intimate than staying at a large hotel. One unique aspect that I really enjoyed was removing my shoes at the entrance and walking barefoot throughout the property. It immediately creates a relaxing and home-like atmosphere. The traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast were excellent. The quality of the ingredients was very good, and each dish was carefully prepared and beautifully presented. Dining here felt like an important part of the overall experience rather than just a meal. The hot spring was another highlight. You can immediately tell that the water comes directly from a natural source. The mineral scent is noticeable and authentic, making the onsen experience feel genuine and special. The location is slightly away from the busier part of Noboribetsu, but for me that was actually a positive. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxation. The futon was also surprisingly comfortable, and I had one of the best nights of sleep during my trip. If you are looking for a modern luxury hotel, this may not be the right choice. But if you appreciate traditional Japanese hospitality, authentic hot springs, excellent food, and a peaceful atmosphere, Kashoutei Hanaya is a wonderful place to stay.

A wonderful hotel in Noboribetsu, highly recommended! Booking and check-in were very easy, and the staff explained everything clearly. We were given a printed sheet with dinner and breakfast times, as well as information about where everything was located. Dinner was amazing. You can choose one of three main dishes, and the meal itself is very generous. We spent almost an hour eating because there was so much food, and everything was delicious. After dinner, we went to the hanabi festival. It turned out that in summer Noboribetsu Onsen has a festival on certain days, where you can watch a beautiful demon show. It was really impressive! Breakfast was also excellent and very tasty. In addition to the main dishes, there is a self-service area where you can take extra food. The onsen was wonderful. At first, we wanted to try the private onsen, so we booked it in advance by email for 50 minutes. Inside, there are two baths, which was very nice, and one of them is outdoors. The public onsen has a similar setup, with both indoor and outdoor baths. Everything you might need is provided, including creams, lotions, foot massagers, and other amenities. The location is excellent: only about 15 minutes by bus from Noboribetsu Station. The bear park is also nearby, and Hell Valley is about a 10-minute walk away. The hotel is clean, pleasant, and beautifully combines modern comfort with a traditional atmosphere. We would be very happy to come back!

This hotel is located in an extensively convenient place as it is adjacent to Noboribetsu Bus Terminal station. It is really friendly to sole travelers with heavy luggage and to family travelers with budget concern in transportation. Staff is also supportive with good English and Mandarin skills. Amenity like massage is a plus for the overall rating. Hotel should focus on updating the hardware of the hotel. For example, electric socket place is not enough and the hot spring facilities should be upgraded or renovated.

It's a small hotel. There are two old people at the reception. The environment is very friendly and family-friendly. There are few people in the hot spring, so it is very comfortable. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs, and the water temperature is also marked. The experience is good. The breakfast and dinner are also rich, with many varieties and good taste.

I lived in Noboribetsu and this atrium, and I still prefer this one. If I go to Noboribetsu next time, I will stay there again. On the mountain Noboribetsu, pick-up service at 2:00 and 4:00 pm (pick-up at JR station) is available after booking with the hotel. The hotel is good, just don't like their public slippers (woven straw uppers). If you don't wear socks, you will feel a little sticky, but so is the flower atrium. The open-air style of the house is very good. It is relatively large. You can take a look at the snow on the pine trees while soaking in the hot spring. It feels very natural and much stronger than the open-air style of the flower atrium. I ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel, but it was really bad. This may be my own problem. I am not used to eating. The ice cream at the kiosk downstairs is delicious, you buy it every day, and it's easy to buy water. There is a small park in front of the hotel, the snow is very thick, you can play with snow, and there is no one. It is clean and very comfortable. A 15-minute walk from the hotel is the Noboribetsu ski resort. It is very convenient to play snow and there are very few people. In short, it is quite satisfactory.
