We liked the traditional ryokan feel of this hotel with our very own private onsen. Room was very spacious and comfortable. The private kaiseiki dining experience was enjoyable. Food presentation and quality was way above our expectation. Sayaka, served us during our 2 dinners and she was friendly and patient while explaining in English the various foods served. In the morning, breakfast was served to us at our table and there was also a side buffet if you needed more food! Hotel staff are generally quite cheerful. The main reception staff can also speak English and helped answer our enquiries when needed. Besides our private onsen, we also enjoyed the hotel's public onsen facilities. The outdoor rock garden onsens are also quite breathtaking!

Great first time ryokan experience for one of my friends. There is a 1000 yen shuttle service one way to/from Sapporo (TV tower near Odori Park) that will save you some money and hassle. Private bath and delicious dinner were the highlights of the stay. A short walk to the Hell Valley area. Free drinks including 4 bottles of water, 2 beers and 2 teas in the room. The futon was super comfortable, better than a western bed!

Front desk male staff were super friendly and helpful. He gave us towel when we arrived with wet hair because of the heavy snow. Thank you so much! We were worried we cannot checkin because the JR runs late for 30 mins. He let us check in and we were able to have the fabulous fancy delicious dinner. 怀石料理 The hot tubs are great. The first time I tried an outdoor one though very cold outside haha. And we have the private onsen in room where the water makes your skin bright and smooth. Also Japanese people believe it can cure your body problems. The whole valley is like a little Yellowstone national park with the smell in the air. The whole trip is relaxing, satisfying and enjoyable except the easily delayed JR train. I do appreciate and would recommend and come back again.

Unexpected high standard! We booked a hotel room and two meals. First, we had a private room for dinner. The decoration and design of the meal felt on par with Michelin level. Second, there was a set menu + Japanese buffet to choose from for breakfast. We ate a lot of homemade seafood rice bowls that looked very fresh, which were both delicious and fun. The room has a private semi-open-air bath, which is very nice. I was very satisfied and liked this hotel. I will try to go back when I go to Noboribetsu in the future.
