Hot Springs Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

Exceptional , well designed and ultra comfortable hotel. Onsen is solid, gym has all the machines you need but feels that was not much effort put into it comparatively to the rest of the facilities.

Superb Breakfast The best breakfast in Hokkaido this trip, and Onsen. Free parking. Reasonable price. Definitely stay again if we come to Hakodate

A view like no other by the beautiful lake. From the greeting at the start, a welcome drink and snack, we were well looked after. The buffet breakfast and dinner were delicious with a wide variety. The chef rings a bell with every new serve! The nightly fireworks were stunning to view from the comfort of our hotel room. It was easy to access the rest of the lake area where we stayed. The second parking lot is easy to access with a shuttle bus. With yukata to wear and a lovely onsen space, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The only small thing was a tissue and tooth pick that had been missed that was under the bed but alerted the reception and they apologised and sent someone to clean it straight away. Highly recommend you enjoy the lake side views, the dragon footbath and hiring the swan motorised boat to enjoy the lake!

The hotel is very very well situated right at the foot of the ski resort pistes. Ski in ski out (if there is enough snow). It is however quite dated in its design and the rooms come with only the basic essential facilities (by no means luxurious). It is clean and well maintained though. Service wise, check in took some time even in low season. Not all staff understand english, even those at front desk. The restaurants and breakfast is good. Very wide selection. We also enjoyed the onsen, however it would have been better with the view of nature. Ningle Terrace is beautiful at night in the winter season! All in all a good trip. The convenience and food makes up for everything.

Far more convenient than the Westin although the rooms are standard Japanese 4 star style. The room is only cleaned every 4 days but they empty the trash daily. Direct ski in ski out (unlike the Westin which is only connected by Monorail to ski in/ski out) and lots of cute little baby slopes to play with for kids below 4. Private instructors charge 10-15k per hour

Love it so much!!! Very big and complete place to stay for relaxation on your holidays. Good views and comfortable rooms. A lot of Spaces to relax. Unluckily that my health is not suitable for onsen so I missed opportunity to use them. Pingpong room is interesting, I want to play if I wasn’t there alone. Good dinner and buffet breakfast, but would be much better if I can change beef to pork or other meats. Surprisingly, this hotel connects to Shika no Yu. Some facilities can be used together, so I roamed around and enjoyed a lot. An evening lounge to enjoy music and snacks was so good. I really wish to stay here again! Oh, one more thing, I had a nice pic from window to show you first snow of 2024!!

The room for 3 pax is big and clean. Friendly staff and the walking distance to Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley. Their dinner and breakfast buffet have many choices. Please included during your booking. They have many onsen pool to try on. We are satisfied with the stay.

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. Perfect for: Families with young children wanting authentic Japanese luxury onsen experience Not ideal for: People looking for adults-only quiet retreatTip:

Room is huge and clean with private onsen. The public bath is impressive, happened to soak when it was snowing, great and unforgettable vibe! Everything is perfect with the stay. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, one wouldn’t discover how great the service is when things go smooth and will take things for granted. We received extra and timely assistance from the hotel staff when upon checking out, our car battery died down, the reception staff had helped with communicating and a team of staff had helped with re-igniting the car battery for us, can’t thank them more when we have a plane to catch in that morning. Really appreciate their professionalism! It’s the people who made our stay even unforgettable!

Very nice view from the balcony in a secluded area. Big room with japanese style.
