Hotely v Noboribetsu

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

The large public bath is spacious, though the open-air hot spring is a bit disappointing. If you plan on doing some sightseeing nearby, be sure to buy discounted advance tickets at the hotel. I recommend this as a 1-night, 2-day itinerary combining the hot spring and nearby sightseeing.

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!

Podrobnosti o rezervácii na Klooku sú dosť nepresné. Uvádzalo sa v nich, že bude zabezpečené len raňajky, ale dostal som večeru kaiseki a tradičné japonské raňajky s výberom z bufetu. Vzhľadom na zaplatenú cenu to stálo za to. Aj výhľad bol skvelý!
