Cheap Hotels in Noboribetsu

"If you're coming to Noboribetsu for the onsen experience, Dai-ichi Takimotokan gets many things right. The location is exceptional. Sitting right beside Hell Valley (less than 3mins walk to main entrance) + shops around the resort offers one of the most iconic onsen settings in Japan. Service throughout the resort was warm, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. The property is well maintained, and cleanliness standards were consistently good throughout my stay. The highlight, without question, was my room with a private onsen overlooking Hell Valley. Waking up to steam rising from the volcanic landscape while soaking in mineral-rich waters is one of those travel moments that stays with you long after you've returned home. The Grand Onsen is another standout. While parts of the facility feel a little dated, it remains one of the largest and most impressive onsen complexes I've personally experienced. The variety of baths, minerals, temperatures, and views makes it a destination in itself. Where the resort falls short is the food. My Kaiseki dinner was underwhelming and lacked the refinement and wow factor I had expected as the first 2 dishes were pre-laid out b4 my arrival. Private Breakfast was acceptable but forgettable. Neither meal was bad, but neither was memorable, especially by Japanese ryokan standards. A word of caution for fitness enthusiasts: the ”fitness room” is more symbolic than functional. Calling it a gym would be generous. If maintaining a serious workout routine is important during your travels, you'll likely be disappointed. Overall, Dai-ichi Takimotokan is a resort I would recommend for its location, private onsen rooms, and spectacular bathing facilities rather than its culinary offerings. Come for the healing waters and views of Hell Valley; set your expectations lower for the dining experience. My rating: 4.2/5 Private Onsen Room: 9.5/10 Location: 9.5/10 Grand Onsen: 9/10 Service: 8.5/10 Cleanliness: 8.5/10 Kaiseki Dinner: 5/10 Breakfast: 5/10 Fitness Room: 1/10 In one sentence: ”A legendary onsen resort with one of Japan's most impressive bathing experiences, elevated by private Hell Valley views, but held back by average dining and a questionable fitness room."

"The price was reasonable. It's about a kilometer uphill from the main shopping street, but we drove and appreciated the parking lot. There's a pretty little waterfall behind the parking area. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet style, and the food was just average. If you stay two nights in a row, they offer sweet shrimp on the second day. The Japanese-style room was standard and reasonably clean. We reserved a private onsen via email for 3300 yen. The experience was just okay, and I felt the public bath was better. With a 50-minute time limit, it felt a bit rushed."

"Flight was delayed and we could only check-in on the second day, thus forfeiting the first night. When we arrived, they helped with the luggage from our rented car. When we checked out, they called and reminded us that there was surcharge if we are 15 mins late promptly at 10am! We had no help at all to load our luggages and the place gave you a feeling that they are glad to see us off! But there's a very kind old lady who was very pleasant and helpful. The room we had was spacious as we have 2 beds and another room that can lay tatami beds. The place was pleasant but service is left to be desired from a Japanese establishment."

"Our family of three comfortably stayed in a room that featured both a tatami mat area and a Western bed. Upon check-in, we were given traditional Japanese yukata. The onsen (hot spring baths) are conveniently located on the B1 floor. For breakfast, there was a good selection of both Japanese and Western dishes. The hotel's location is also quite close to Jigokudani."

"If you like onsen ,it is one of the best place that you will enjoy with many type of natural onsen both indoor and outdoor, there are many size of yukata you can select at ground floor, i love dinner with unlimited hokkaido crab but if you expect kaiseki style it is not your choice because it is buffet. The room is quite old but clean. I recommend hokkaido Ice cream shop just walk across opposite hotel it is very delicious and if you turn left it is shopping street."

"Everything was great, except for the slightly hard slippers. The crab with ponzu sauce for dinner and the sweet shrimp for breakfast were absolutely delicious! After a soak in the hot spring, my skin felt so smooth. They had a wide variety of shampoos, mostly Pola, and also a hot spring water hair conditioner. I liked it so much I bought it directly from the hotel shop, it was even cheaper than Taobao resellers. Some of the hotel's little decorations were really cute. You can ask the front desk to book a free shuttle to the bear farm."

"For us it is the second time in this beautiful hotel and we are happy to have returned. Everything is made to make you fully experience the atmosphere of the place and the attention to detail is maximum: each floor is adorned and embellished with vases of fragrant fresh flowers every day (Japanese lilies specifically and roses); the staff is very welcoming and takes care of you with extreme attention to all your needs and desires; the food is of excellent quality and very varied and in the hotel you can find everything (drink machines, souvenir shop, games room and much more)! Thank you for the welcome and the experience!"

"Yumoto Onsen is a very good place to relax, with a nice location surrounded by nature. The area is quiet and peaceful, perfect for people who want to escape busy tourist spots. It sits in the mountains near Lake Yunoko, giving beautiful scenery in every season. The hot spring itself is excellent, with natural sulfur water that feels very relaxing after a long day. Many ryokan offer traditional Japanese rooms and authentic meals, making the stay more special. Overall, Yumoto Onsen is a good choice if you like calm atmosphere, fresh air, and scenic views. It may not have many shops or entertainment, but that is part of its charm."

"Loved this hotel. The rooms have been renovated and are very nice. Good linen, good comfortable beds, good bathrooms. Decent sized rooms. Good location, near the geothermal area. Nothing to dislike at all about this hotel! As mentioned the big plus is the ability to use the Takimotokan onsen across the road. Adex only provides medium Yukata and slippers but you can get larger sizes for the men at the Takimotokan hotel. Nice hikes near hotel. We saw a number of deer and even a set of antlers on the path."

"Facilities: Absolutely fantastic! Cleanliness: As expected from a Japanese hotel, impeccable. Ambiance: Elegant. Service: Warm and welcoming. This hotel was our first stop on our trip to Japan and it completely exceeded our expectations. Although it was a bit pricey, my family of three all agreed it was worth every penny. It honestly made all the subsequent hotels on our trip feel just 'okay' in comparison. We chose the 'one night, two meals' plan, and the D-type room came with a hot spring bath. The sushi at dinner was incredible – far better than what you'd get at a high-end restaurant in a major city (where you'd pay around 1300 JPY per person), and even better than the sushi we had in Sapporo and Tokyo. Breakfast was extensive, and the staff were incredibly polite and enthusiastic. We will definitely be back and will book the same hotel and room type again. This is the first hotel I've ever felt compelled to recommend; it's so much better than anything you'd find back home! It's rare to find a hotel that makes you want to linger and return."
