Hotels in Noboribetsu

"I've stayed here multiple times, and it's always a great experience. There's a bus from New Chitose Airport to Noboribetsu for 2400 yen, but you need to book it in advance. It departs from bus stop #86 on the 1st floor. For a hot spring experience, Dai-ichi Takimotokan is an excellent choice. They have many onsen pools, and they are incredibly clean. I recommend booking the breakfast and dinner package. While there are some restaurants in town, some are only open for lunch. The hotel's breakfast and dinner are quite good."

"This is one of our best stays - everything is top notch from cleanliness, food, service and the onsen. We booked the type D room with a private onsen - both public and private ones are excellent. The staff can speak reasonable Engliah, very polite, helpful and professional. We like the lady (she is from Chiba) who serves us dinner and breakfast very much! The food quality is very good - well plated, fresh and flavourful. They accommodated my quite last min request for a non-seafood dietary. The ryokan is quiet and we love it a lot (feel more private too). Love the fact that they do not allow shoes into the Ryokan (they will keep them properly for you), as it keep the room and public area clean. We will plan to stay here again (for longer period!)."

"For a weekend 2 day onsen break, this hotel is perfect.  Noboreitsu is a small place and the location of this hotel is very good (at the bottom of a hill right next to the bus terminus).  The single room itself is small but adequate albeit retro, but the onsen facilities are pretty good and despite the large commercial size of the hotel, the onset is never busy.  The breakfast and dinner buffets are decent, but as it barely changes, you will get bored pretty quickly after 2 days.  Jikokudani is less than 10 minutes away by foot - if you enjoyed this during the day, it is super-pretty in the evening and the evening walk makes a lovely post-dinner saunter (see photos).  You will pass the main shopping street on the way there and back (most shops close at around 9pm).   The only downside to the hotel is the sheer number of tour groups that check in/out.  4-6pm and early morning 8-10am are just rammed with tour buses/groups and the hotel lifts are packed as a result.  "

"Very nice and delicious foods and service. Onsen was also very good to enjoy."

"Great service from the hotel staff. Hotel room is a little old but it's clean and the bed is comfortable. The highlight of the hotel is definitely the Onsen. They rotate the left & right side of the onsen between male and female everyday. Which is great because you get to view on both side. They have a few different onsen 'pool' - sulfur , salt, iron, cold onsen. The outdoor onsen is best with the waterfall view. The dinner package is definitely worth the money. Beer is not included in the package but the local beer is a must try especially the ipa."

"## Facilities: This hotel is nearly 50 years old, so the facilities are quite dated. The buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, but the taste is mediocre. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from Jigokudani (Hell Valley), with an uphill section, so be mindful of slippery conditions if it's icy in winter. In the Sakura building, the rooms on the mountain side have a strong硫磺味 (sulfur smell) outside the window at night, and there are no air purifiers or humidifiers in the rooms. ## Service: The staff are friendly and provide good service. ## Hygiene: We booked a Japanese-style room, and the staff helped make the beds. However, the comforters had stains and a hole in the duvet. There were also unidentified stains on the tatami mats and walls. We reserved a private onsen (hot spring) bath, but the water was quite dirty, with other people's hair and unknown objects floating in it."

"Our first night in Hokkaido on November 3, 2025, was spent at Noboribetsu Yumoto Hotel. As soon as we stepped out of the car at the hotel entrance, the bell staff immediately loaded our luggage onto a cart and warmly welcomed us into the lobby. The front desk staff greeted us loudly, making us feel right at home. There was a young man at the front desk who was a student from China studying in Hokkaido, so our translation device wasn't even needed. He quickly helped us check in and enthusiastically told us about the location of the hotel's hot springs, usage precautions, and nearby tourist attractions. The service was excellent. We had booked a package including dinner and breakfast. Dinner that evening was served in our room by a staff member and consisted of a very generous Japanese meal with over ten hot and cold dishes, plus complimentary red wine and fruit. The next day's buffet breakfast was also abundant, with a great variety and delicious food. The hotel is conveniently located directly across from a bus stop with several routes, including one to Noboribetsu JR Station. Hell Valley is just a 10-15 minute walk to the right of the hotel entrance, and the Bear Park is also not far. In summary, Yumoto Hotel boasts a great location, excellent food, spacious rooms, comfortable sleep, Chinese-speaking staff, and a lobby with free various drinks and coffee. The different hot spring baths within the hotel were particularly relaxing and highly recommended!"

"I was genuinely surprised by the hotel in Noboribetsu. Although it's an older property, it's very clean and well-maintained. I had originally booked two nights, but I made separate reservations due to my flight schedule. Upon check-in, the hotel specially upgraded my room because my original booking was taken by a group, and they gave me a larger room. The hotel's hot spring is outstanding; there are many pools with excellent water quality. The breakfast and dinner are the best – dinner is so lavish it'll make you question your life choices, especially with the people around you. The hotel is about a four-minute walk from the bus stop, and it's a ten-minute bus ride to Noboribetsu Station. Hell Valley is only a five-minute walk away. Noboribetsu is fantastic; you could easily stay for several more days."

"Our room was spacious and a traditional Japanese tatami style. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent. The beautiful lakeside setting was a definite highlight. The front desk staff were also incredibly patient and helpful, assisting us with taxi bookings. We even got to enjoy a fireworks show in the evening!"

"The room is simple, but it has everything you need and is very clean. If you’re driving, you can stop in front of the café to unload your luggage, and the staff will guide you to the parking area. It’s a bit far, but still acceptable, especially since you’ll most likely not need to drive again until check-out once the car is parked. You can also use your room card to enjoy free access to the onsen at Dai-ichi Takimotokan across the street. Dai-ichi truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best hot springs. Just step out of the hotel and you’re already in the onsen street, and Noboribetsu Hell Valley is within walking distance as well. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby. I would definitely choose this hotel again the next time I visit Noboribetsu. The photo shows the view from the hotel’s main entrance. It is located directly opposite Dai-ichi Takimotokan."
