Lovely Ryokan, with nice staff that do everything possible to communicate with you as good as possible being a non-japanese person. Amazing food, book dinner and breakfast if you stay here for the full experience!

Noboribetsu area itself is a hidden gem & this hotel too. We went in peak winter (late January 2026) and saw the entire place transform into a magical winter wonderland. The onsen and public bath facilities are top notch. They have both an indoor and outdoor onsen which offers variety. Spacious baths with sauna make the whole onsen experience super relaxing. I loved this onsen the most. Try to book half board dinner plan (it is a dinner buffet) with your room as there aren’t many options to eat nearby. They offer an affordable paid shuttle service (if booked last minute) to the airport and Sapporo station. Places nearby to visit- Hell valley which is close by so you can walk it up, and various hidden snowy trails & pathways like the natural outdoor footbath makes exploration adventurous! A must visit place if you’re coming all the way to Hokkaido!

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!

The tour guide Ken did a very good job. He explained the scenery very details and lively and with sense of humor. He explain good in English, Chinese and Japanese. Is just that the weather not good in spring , rain for the whole day.

We were incredibly lucky to have tour guide Hikaru Huang again for our Hokkaido trip, and the overall experience truly exceeded our expectations!
From the initial meeting to the end of the day's itinerary, Hikaru was exceptionally professional and attentive. He managed time perfectly, ensuring the schedule was smooth and unhurried, yet we still visited all the key attractions without wasting any time.
We also loved his recommendations for local delicacies, such as yogurt and ice cream, which were all memorable and absolutely hit the spot! The overall atmosphere was very relaxed and stress-free. He thoughtfully pointed out great photo opportunities and free time, which was very considerate. At the end of the trip, he even recommended a local yakiniku restaurant, which was absolutely delicious! 👍🏻
This wasn't just a sightseeing tour; it felt more like a trip where we were genuinely well taken care of. If we visit Hokkaido again in the future, we will definitely choose Hikaru Huang again and recommend him to our friends!

The trip was very smooth and we really liked our guide Tom. he was very nice and accommodating and can speak 3 languages (chinese, english, japanese). the lunch spot he recommended to us in lake Toya was absolutely delicious as well! Enjoyed the trip overall but I do wish we had more time at each spot. though i understand there is limited time overall.

What to know before visiting Noboribetsu
Quick snapshot of Noboribetsu and what to expect
Noboribetsu is a compact destination driven by bookings for tours, zoos & aquariums, historical sites and outdoor activities. Demand on Klook peaks in January, February and August, giving the year a few busy spikes and a quieter shoulder season in May. That rhythm shapes when attractions and guided experiences are busiest.
Best times to visit for crowds and prices
Klook data shows the busiest months are January, February and August, while May sees noticeably lower demand. Prices tend to rise into the winter peak: February is typically the priciest month on Klook, while March is usually the cheapest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for May or March; if you want peak-season atmosphere and don’t mind higher prices, visit in January, February or August. Overall, prices and demand mostly move together around the winter peak, though the cheapest pricing appears in March even as demand is moderate.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most experiences in Noboribetsu book close to travel dates: Klook bookings typically happen within a couple of days, though some book earlier. If you’re taking a short trip you can be flexible and book many activities a day or two ahead, but consider securing spots sooner for visits in the January, February and August peaks. Use Klook to compare available time slots and lock in the activities you don’t want to miss.
