Dai-ichi Takimotokan

The onsen, kaiseki dinner, breakfast buffet and facilities are faultless. All the different spas/temperatures were fantastic to experience, and the location right next to Hell Valley can't be beaten. When you walk into the spa facilities, you are just blown away at the scale. When you go to the outdoor areas, you feel instantly relaxed looking out at nature. After the day stay, we were able to get a day pass and use the facilities after check out which we really appreciated. The kaiseki dinner was mindblowing. The prices are not cheap, but still amazing value. Would love to explore again.

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

Staying at this hotel was the highlight of our trip to Japan. It was our first onsen experience, so I was a bit nervous about the rules and etiquette, but in the end, we enjoyed every minute of it. There are so many baths to choose from, and all the areas are very well maintained. My partner mentioned that the men’s side had a beautiful view of Hell Valley—you can actually sit in the bath and take it all in. We used the onsen early in the morning and late at night, so it never felt crowded. I also really appreciated that they provided a full range of shampoos and skincare products to use after your soak. Our room was on the main building, it was spacious and spotlessly clean. Since we stayed two nights, they let us know they would clean the room at 11 a.m. on our second day. We left at 10:55 and returned briefly at 11:25 to grab something—and by then, the entire room and bathroom were already cleaned, everything replaced, and even new sets of yukatas laid out. I couldn’t believe how fast and efficient they were! If you're planning to visit Noboribetsu, I highly recommend staying at this hotel. The others didn’t look nearly as nice from the outside and didn’t seem to offer much in terms of views. This one is absolutely worth every penny.

This hotel should be THE Onsen Hotel. There are so many different tubs inside the grand bath and outside, too. This was our first experience in a proper onsen, and we were not disappointed. We got a cupon for a welcome drink, and drinking sake in a open air bath was an experience I didn't know I needed. Breakfast was amazing, but you need to run, cause it's only served between 7 and 9am. There are restaurants inside the hotel, shops, and spa. I did a massage, which was quite good.

I booked the double single bed room in the south building. The room assigned was facing the forest. Clean room and comfy. Love the swimming pool area for the kids to play in. Female onsen area has several different pools which have different health benefits. Breakfast buffet was included. Wide variety of spread and good organization of crowd control. Walking distance to Jigokudani.
