Hot Spring Hotels in Noboribetsu

"The hotel featured an amazing variety of natural hot springs, all directly sourced and not recirculated within the facility. Each onsen offered different health benefits, such as promoting blood circulation and improving skin conditions. Our package included breakfast, but the selection was a bit disappointing considering the price we paid for the stay. Additionally, we were surprised that the hotel didn’t offer small extras like complimentary drinks or snacks. On a positive note, we really enjoyed the evening drum performance — it was a nice cultural touch to end the day."

"We opted for a Japanese-style tatami room. Staff will come to your room to lay out the futons between 6-8 PM. They also offer Western-style rooms, where this isn't necessary. For the tatami rooms, they will move the central coffee table to the side to clear space for the futons. I'd recommend tidying up your belongings before they arrive, and always keeping valuables with you. The hotel's onsen (hot spring baths) are located on the 7th and 8th floors. The women's bath features both indoor and outdoor sections. Inside, there are 4-5 pools. Outside, you'll find one large pool, two smaller ones, and a sauna, which is also outdoors. Do remember to bring your own towel to the bath area, as they are not provided inside the changing rooms or bath areas. The hotel itself is quite expansive, spread across three buildings. Interestingly, each building provides yukata (Japanese robes) of different colors and styles. Your stay includes both a buffet breakfast and dinner. Upon check-in, they will confirm your designated dining times for that evening and the following morning. It's crucial to stick to these times; they are quite strict about punctuality, so avoid being early or late."

"This hotel in Noboribetsu offers excellent value for money. The onsen (hot spring baths) here are even better than those at Dai-ichi Takimotokan's main building. Service is quite self-serve, so don't expect anything elaborate. We were very grateful that the front desk could assist us with booking a taxi; it was pouring rain when we checked out, so having it pre-arranged was a huge relief! Two complimentary bottles of water are provided daily; additional bottles need to be purchased. Both breakfast and dinner are buffet-style. The spread is quite extensive, but it might get a bit repetitive if you're staying for more than two consecutive days. Overall, it's a decent and economical choice."

"Overall, we’re very happy with this hotel. The customer service is excellent and the room was clean. The location is convenient, and they offer free parking for those traveling by car. There’s also a free drop-off to the bear park if you let the staff know. As a bonus, guests can use the onsen at the hotel across the street, and the price is great for this city. The only downside is the Wi‑Fi, which is very poor and often fails to connect."

"Japanese and Western-style kaiseki cuisine: The beauty of Bourou is evident in every detail. The hotel offers excellent hygiene, attentive service, and first-class facilities. The Japanese and Western-style kaiseki cuisine is truly memorable. Even a solo traveler will feel right at home."

"A traditional Japanese ryokan. The courtyard, with its snow views and private onsen, was beautiful. Breakfast was also very generous. There were also plenty of options for public hot spring baths, and soaking in the open-air bath amidst the snowy landscape was incredibly romantic. Truly an unforgettable onsen stay."

"Hotel Mahoroba is a comfortable hotel with public bath included regardless of whether you are using it or not, you will still be charged. It is directly opposite the ropeway to Bear Park so it is an experience to take the ropeway up. There are many souvenir shops opposite the hotel as well as eateries and a convenience shop 7-11. It is within walking distance of to the Hell Valley where the hot springs are. You can also soak your feet at the foot bath at Hell Valley. If you are lucky enough, you can also see deer in the grassland nearby. Go for the dinner & breakfast included package as there is a wide spread of food at the buffer tables."

"We booked a two-day stay at this ryokan. A miscalculated itinerary on the first day resulted in us arriving at the JR station in the middle of the night. Our phone power bank ran out of battery, making it impossible to call a taxi, reach the ryokan, or contact the hotel. We apologize for any inconvenience. The next morning, we arrived at the ryokan and informed the front desk staff that we hadn't rested well the previous night, asking for a more comfortable room. The hotel graciously accommodated our request and upgraded us to a larger room. The room boasted a beautiful mountain view from the window. The room was furnished in classic Japanese style, with a spacious tatami mat that could accommodate four mats, approximately one meter long. The living room had two cute and delicious snacks and tea-making facilities. The entrance to the ryokan was a long, beautifully decorated Japanese-style corridor. We were very satisfied with our stay. Thank you, owner!"

"Nice dinner, definitely get the chargrilled pork as main, juicy and tender, the sauce worked perfectly with the rice and the meat! I was a bit disappointed that I have to leave early and missed the breakfast to get to the airport, however they prepared me a onigiri bento breakfast to bring along, truly amazing and appreciated."

"Perfect Family Onsen Stay with Baby - Ryotei Hanayura We stayed here with our 9-month-old baby and it was amazing! Finding a Japanese onsen hotel that actually welcomes families with young kids is super rare, but this place was perfect for us. What Made It SpecialPrivate Onsen in Room - This was the best part! Having our own hot spring bath in the room meant we could relax anytime without worrying about disturbing other guests or dealing with public bath schedules. The water comes directly from the hot spring and was hot but comfortable. The private outdoor setting was awesome! Large Public Baths - The main onsen facilities were beautiful with different types of baths . Open from 2pm to 9:30am next day, so lots of flexibility. FDining - They do kaiseki-style meals at breakfast and dinner where you pick your breakfast and dinner time slots at check-in. The food was excellent and they accommodated our dietary needs without any fuss. When we needed to change our dinner time one night, they were totally fine with it. Turndown Service - While we were at dinner, housekeeping would set up our futon beds. Such a nice touch that we didn't have to worry about room setup with a tired baby. Family-Friendly Features• Free baby equipment rental: bath chairs for onsen, regular high chairs, diaper bins, changing mats•Staff spoke English and were super helpful with baby needs• Tons of parking space (no stress with car seat and stroller)• Traditional Japanese room with tatami but baby-safe The Room Traditional Japanese style with wooden floors and tatami areas. Mini-fridge was great for baby formula and snacks. Room slippers provided. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Our room had 5 futon beds and a private open-air bath. Location & Practical StuffLocated in Noboribetsu Onsen, Hokkaido. Ryotei Hanayura is part of Toho Resort group - you can check out their other properties at tohoresort.com/english/. Easy parking with multiple levels. Clear signage in multiple languages. 24-hour front desk if you need anything. Bottom LineThis is probably one of the few authentic luxury onsen ryokans in Japan that truly welcomes families with babies. The private onsen alone makes it worth it, but the flexible service and genuine hospitality made our stay memorable. We'll definitely be back as our little one grows up.
