Best Noboribetsu Hotels

"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."

"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."

"Very traditional onsen hotel. It is a little old but generally serviceable, though there is a slight sulphur smell which is normal in such hotels. Hotel staff have excellent service levels. Dinner is not gourmet level for good value for money. The WiFi was intermittent which is unfortunate but not a deal breaker."

"For a small place like Noboribetsu, this hotel actually stood out with the best facilities and amenities (such as skincare products) among all the places we stayed on this trip. The two onsen (hot spring baths) were also fantastic, and the daily rotation schedule for male and female guests was very well-thought-out. Its location, while not as close to Jigokudani (Hell Valley) as the hotel often recommended by Chinese influencers, is actually closer to the bus stop, and the walking distance difference is negligible, perhaps only an extra five minutes. A crucial tip: try to travel light when visiting Noboribetsu, as Noboribetsu Station has long flights of stairs, which can be challenging with heavy luggage. I highly recommend opting for the half-board plan (dinner and breakfast included), as the dinner buffet was quite good. A minor drawback is the absence of a shuttle service from New Chitose Airport to the hotel; they only provide transfers from Sapporo city. If you're traveling directly from New Chitose Airport on the same day, a flight delay past 4 PM could make onward transfers quite challenging."

"Stayed at Adex Inn Hotel and had a great experience. The location is excellent, just a short walk to 地狱谷 (Jigokudani / Hell Valley), making it super convenient for sightseeing. One of the best added values is the access to the open-site onsen facilities, which really enhanced the overall stay and relaxation. The room is a bit small, but that’s expected in Japan — especially considering the very reasonable pricing. Overall, a comfortable and value-for-money stay. Highly recommended for travelers who want convenience and a relaxing onsen experience!"

"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:"

"Very enjoyable stay, room was spacious and clean. Good number of hot spring pools and onsen water quality. Dinner was above average (as I had better ones at Kurokawa Onsen), it was nicely presented and the Noboribetsu pork and their sweet wine was especially delicious. Breakfast was slightly above average, just your usual Japanese western breakfast. Lots of variety and taste was okay. The lady that served us was nice and helpful. She kindly explained the dishes and how to enjoy it in fluent English."

"This hotel just made my trip. After 2 months from checking out I still can clearly remember the wonderful details about the room and facilities. Would definitely recommend it to everyone. 无论行程有多匆忙，我真的非常推荐北海道之旅留一晚给泷乃家，这一定是旅程里无比亮眼的一道风景。 预定的房型是DW,落地价格6000多人民币，含两人的一泊二食。通过邮件沟通，顺利获得了安排带garden的唯一一间。 房间的私汤赢过了公区所有的泡池，看着静谧白雪皑皑的院落，泡着天然的硫磺汤，耳朵里只有流水声，雪花静静在眼前一片片落下，时间在这里仿佛暂停。 房间有专属的用餐区，也是雪景庭院落地窗景致，早晚餐都有穿和服的阿姨进出服务，讲解菜品，菜单很不错，也吃到了河豚。 晚上工作人员会进来铺床，床品很柔软。 酒店公区一步一景，拍了亿张，但留下深刻印象的是时刻迎来送往的工作人员，香浓的欢迎🍵和时刻在线的服务。 会再来，推荐所有朋友来，推荐DW房型。"

"This homestay is located here in the boarding station. It belongs to a relatively large household. There are two toilets. There are enough rooms. Towels, toothbrushes, and the landlord have all prepared. The whole process is self-check-in. There is no problem. You need to contact the landlord. The whole process is very smooth. The children don't want to leave. There is a larger supermarket around, buy ingredients to make your own barbecue, very suitable for family or friends gathering"

"Absolutely loved it. It's very quiet and perfect for unwinding and relaxing. I really liked this hotel; even though it's a bit old and showing its age, it's incredibly comfortable."
