Dai-ichi Takimotokan

Big onsen hot spring with 35 pools and tubs, underground indoor swimming pool; succulent buffet with anything you possibly can imagine are available. During my stay, hotel hosted an annual devil festival with traditional dances, rice cake bitting, and onsen water fight competitions between two almost naked young athlete groups - so much fun in Noboribetsu.

Good place to relax.

Very nice and neat room with Japanese style.

This hotel truly felt like a five-star home. From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable. Although the parking entrance is a bit tricky to find, the staff at the main entrance were incredibly helpful, guiding me to the designated lot and immediately assisting with my luggage. The check-in process was seamless and efficient. The Onsen Experience: Located in a renowned hot spring area, this hotel’s onsen facilities are second to none. They cater to everyone’s needs, including lower-temperature baths for those with high blood pressure, and both indoor and outdoor options. I was particularly impressed by the impeccable cleanliness—I didn’t see a single stray hair on the floor as staff were constantly cleaning. They also provide high-quality, complimentary toiletries and skincare products that were so good I ended up buying some at the hotel shop. Room & Comfort: I stayed in a Western-style room which was spotless and well-organized. The view of the snow-capped mountains from the window was breathtaking. It was a very restful stay, and I loved the convenience of being able to walk around the hotel comfortably in the provided yukata. Dining & Location: The breakfast buffet was incredible, with an extensive variety of exquisite dishes—there were so many options I couldn't even try them all! The location is also perfect, just a short walk to the famous Jigokudani (Hell Valley) and the local shopping street.
