Dai-ichi Takimotokan

Fantastic hotel Great location with view of hell valley from the onsen One of the best onsens in Hokkaido- highly recommend staying 1 night to experience them The east building rooms are new and spacious The buffet dinner is great even for typical onsen hotels- has crab and the beef is superb Good variety of food as well

There are about 14 onsens all in one place on the same floor. So amazing. I especially love the waterfall bath - so relaxing, good massage to relieve my tight muscles. There are onsens for high blood pressure, smooth complexiond, circulations, skin conditions digestions and etc. The outdoor onsen gives one the feeling experience of soaking in the forest. They have very good amenities.. We were so pleasantly surprised by their wide buffet breakfast and dinner spread.. Both are excellent! Spoilt for choices. I especially enjoyed their crab and melon ice cream. :) Will return for my next stay!

I like everything about this hotel. The location is at the end of the Onsen Village. It even has a bus stop, so commuting between attractions is very easy, even for a family with a small child. The staff are invaluable, and most can speak English well, which is very helpful for the family and me. We were greeted well and guided through the hotel facilities. They even have a discounted price for the bear park attraction, so we saved some money and got a direct shuttle to the park. The dining hall staff was also very active and helpful. We were welcomed very well and chaperoned to our table with smiles. The food (two breakfasts and two dinners) is worth the price. The dinner had most of what we had expected (with extra ikura, which the past hotels we stayed at did not offer). Sashimi, tempura, steak (they are very transparent about what meat they are using), crab legs, cakes, ice cream, and dessert are delicious. The breakfast also has a very good offering for us. The Onsen, the main attraction of this hotel, is very spacious. The grand bath can support a massive crowd, and the place is not cramped. The outdoor onsen is also lovely, with various temperatures offered. They also provided many Onsen trial products, such as horse oil shampoo and soap or face scrub soap. The in-house souvenir shop is also a good place to browse since they have most of the things we seek. The bedroom was one of the best things we had on this trip. The bed is not the traditional futon but a foam bed, which is firm, feels nice, and gives us a good night's sleep. The room is spacious, as expected from a traditional tatami room.

The onsens were amazing and all the facilities. I had so much fun time soaking up in different onsens and saunas. It was very very relaxing. The location is also very good.

The traditional room felt authentic and comfortable. There were small snacks on the table and yukata for use. Utilities in the room were complete too. The grand bath was great although there were quite a lot of people. It could get crowded and some visitors were noisy even later at night but that can't be blamed on the hotel. Buffet dinner was amazing. The amount of selection was very good with very fresh salmon, tuna, salmon roe, snow crabs, abalone, scallops. The ebi tempura was delicious too. So many things to eat and enjoy. Breakfast buffet was less luxurious but was good too. The hotel compound has everything basically to enjoy yourself including a souvenir / convenience store, entertain room, a small fitness center, swimming pool with slide and even ramen restaurant if you still want to have supper. There is a bus stop not far from the hotel. There a bus to Chitose airport from there too.
