The hotel is very large, and the rooms are excellent. They offer turndown service, so after a bath, you return to a freshly made bed. The public bathing area is very spacious, with both indoor and outdoor hot springs. The swimming pool has a waterslide, which the kids absolutely loved. Even if you don't book the buffet for dinner, there are other simple meal options available at the hotel, which is very convenient. Right outside the hotel, to the left, there's a drugstore where you can pick up drinks and snacks while shopping. The hotel is incredibly close to Jigokudani (Hell Valley); it's just a short walk up a small hill. As mentioned, the hotel's outdoor hot spring at the swimming pool offers direct views of Jigokudani.

Hotel Mahoroba in Noboribetsu offers an unforgettable hot spring experience with a massive multi-level bathhouse featuring 31 different mineral pools. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, though a bit dated. The dinner buffet includes delicious all-you-can-eat crab, making it a great value family getaway

This hotel is located right opposite Daiichi Takimotokan. The facilities feel quite new, featuring a Nordic style that I really like. The first floor is a Western-style bakery and café with a Nordic wooden aesthetic, where many Western tourists enjoy coffee. It has its own hot spring bath, though it is very small. The bathrobe provided is identical to the one at Daiichi Takimotokan. Guests can also go across the street to use the hot springs at Daiichi Takimotokan. Highly recommended!

The booking details on Klook are quite inaccurate. It indicated that only breakfast would be provided but I got a kaiseki dinner and a traditional Japanese breakfast with buffet items. It was quite worth the price based on what I paid. View was great too!

All the spots we visited were gorgeous! Our tour guide, Xiao Weng, was also wonderful. He introduced the attractions, gave advice on what to buy and how to make the most of our time, and more. I was originally hesitating between this and another package that included Makkari Village to see Mount Yotei, but I didn't expect that I'd get to see Mount Yotei from the TOYA Observatory today anyway! It was stunning and gave me such a pleasant surprise 🫶🏻 Also, Cape Chikyu is truly worth visiting, though it seems less common in other tour packages. You can see from the videos how calm and gentle the color of the sea is 🫶🏻 Plus, there was actually a refrigerator on the bus! But I left my white pudding behind in the car 🤣 Good thing I was able to contact the staff immediately via WhatsApp. Their customer service was great and their response time was super fast. Highly recommended overall!

The tour was mostly self-directed - good for travellers who don't intend to drive in Hokkaido. Our guide, Mila, was patient and friendly.

We had a wonderful day trip exploring Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Mount Usu, and the Bear Ranch. A huge shoutout to our guide, Lucy, who was so informative and went out of her way to help us get some wonderful photos. The sights were a real highlight and made for a fantastic day out. The only minor drawback was the transport, as the bus felt a bit cramped for a long-distance journey. Making the seating a bit more spacious would make the ride much more comfortable, but overall it was a really memorable experience thanks to Lucy and the amazing itinerary!

Really good tour to see a lot of sights of this part of Hokkaido in one day, while not being too rushed anywhere. Lisa was a great guide, she helped to point out the interesting attractions out the windows and where was the best places to go for photos. The driver was excellent as well, even slowing down to let us get a better look at some deer.
