Noboribetsu Hotels with Breakfast

I had a wonderful stay at Kashoutei Hanaya and it turned out to be one of the most memorable ryokan experiences of my Hokkaido trip. This is not a large luxury resort. In fact, the property is relatively small and has a traditional, old-fashioned Japanese ryokan atmosphere. Some parts of the building show their age, but everything is very clean, well maintained, and full of character. What really makes this place special is the service. Because the hotel is small, the staff are able to provide a very personal and attentive experience. Everything is organized smoothly, yet it never feels mechanical or overly formal. Instead, you can genuinely feel the warmth and hospitality of the people working there. It feels much more intimate than staying at a large hotel. One unique aspect that I really enjoyed was removing my shoes at the entrance and walking barefoot throughout the property. It immediately creates a relaxing and home-like atmosphere. The traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast were excellent. The quality of the ingredients was very good, and each dish was carefully prepared and beautifully presented. Dining here felt like an important part of the overall experience rather than just a meal. The hot spring was another highlight. You can immediately tell that the water comes directly from a natural source. The mineral scent is noticeable and authentic, making the onsen experience feel genuine and special. The location is slightly away from the busier part of Noboribetsu, but for me that was actually a positive. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxation. The futon was also surprisingly comfortable, and I had one of the best nights of sleep during my trip. If you are looking for a modern luxury hotel, this may not be the right choice. But if you appreciate traditional Japanese hospitality, authentic hot springs, excellent food, and a peaceful atmosphere, Kashoutei Hanaya is a wonderful place to stay.

The hostel was located very well. I could park the car easily and it was a short walk to the supermarket. You can meet some people if you want. The facility has everything you need. You have to bring your own towel or you rent one. I found it a little older than in the pictures, but besides that, the bed was hard it was fine.

This hotel is located in an extensively convenient place as it is adjacent to Noboribetsu Bus Terminal station. It is really friendly to sole travelers with heavy luggage and to family travelers with budget concern in transportation. Staff is also supportive with good English and Mandarin skills. Amenity like massage is a plus for the overall rating. Hotel should focus on updating the hardware of the hotel. For example, electric socket place is not enough and the hot spring facilities should be upgraded or renovated.

The hotel seems to be renovated with good wifi coverage, and there is a smart tv in the room which one can log into Netflix account. The bedding is thin, so one will feel the floor when lying on it. Dinner may not be the most impressive, but still good value at the price point they are charging.

The location is quite convenient; we had ample parking space since we drove. It's also just an 8 to 10-minute walk to the Onsen Street, Noboribetsu Hell Valley, and Oyunumagawa Natural Footbath. The dinner at the onsen ryokan was incredibly generous, and both the beef and sashimi were exceptionally fresh and delicious. Breakfast also felt very ceremonial, though personally, I found it a bit too salty. We checked in on our first night after landing, and after a good soak in the onsen, I slept exceptionally well. I'd especially like to commend the waiter; he was so attentive and welcoming. There were a few minor issues with the room facilities when we first checked in, but they were all resolved in the end.

I lived in Noboribetsu and this atrium, and I still prefer this one. If I go to Noboribetsu next time, I will stay there again. On the mountain Noboribetsu, pick-up service at 2:00 and 4:00 pm (pick-up at JR station) is available after booking with the hotel. The hotel is good, just don't like their public slippers (woven straw uppers). If you don't wear socks, you will feel a little sticky, but so is the flower atrium. The open-air style of the house is very good. It is relatively large. You can take a look at the snow on the pine trees while soaking in the hot spring. It feels very natural and much stronger than the open-air style of the flower atrium. I ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel, but it was really bad. This may be my own problem. I am not used to eating. The ice cream at the kiosk downstairs is delicious, you buy it every day, and it's easy to buy water. There is a small park in front of the hotel, the snow is very thick, you can play with snow, and there is no one. It is clean and very comfortable. A 15-minute walk from the hotel is the Noboribetsu ski resort. It is very convenient to play snow and there are very few people. In short, it is quite satisfactory.
