The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, right at the entrance of Noboribetsu Onsen town, across from Daiichi Takimoto, and close to all the attractions like Jigokudani.
We experienced the 'one night, two meals' plan. Dinner was an exquisite and substantial Kaiseki meal, and breakfast was a semi-buffet style. Both meals were delicious. The room was a traditional Japanese tatami room, clean and tidy. When we returned after dinner, our futons were already laid out (though we did notice some dust on the corners of a few cabinet doors). The most thoughtful touch was that all drinks in the room's mini-fridge were free. It was absolutely refreshing to enjoy a cold drink after a soak in the hot spring!
Two small details to note: the hotel's check-out time is 10 AM (check-in is at 3 PM), which is relatively early. Also, after check-out, luggage can only be stored until 2 PM at the latest, which can be a bit restrictive for travel plans.
Additionally, the hairdryers in the onsen area are quite old; it took about 40 minutes to dry long hair. I hope they can improve this aspect.
