Noboribetsu Onsenkyo Takinoya

Absolute peak of Noboribetsu Onsen! The service starts right at the doorstep—they helped with our luggage and escorted us to the room. The private hot spring room was very spacious with a charming view outside the window. Both breakfast and dinner were wonderful. The only drawback is the price!

The room was spacious and the hotel's environment felt private. The large public bath and hot springs were excellent. However, the meals were a bit pricey for a hotel in this category; the kaiseki was quite simple, and I didn't feel it offered good value for money.

My first visit to Takinoya was eight years ago, and coming back after all this time, I'm truly impressed by how well everything has been maintained. Although the ryokan has some age to it, it doesn't feel old-fashioned at all. It's truly the best onsen ryokan in Hokkaido in my opinion. We stayed in the D-type room, which not only had its own private onsen but also a separate dining room – incredibly convenient.

The hotel has a very traditional and luxurious Japanese style. The room was incredibly spacious, and we were able to enjoy kaiseki dinner and a Japanese breakfast right in our room. The private onsen in the room was a unique experience, allowing us to soak while admiring the garden view. Our little one loved it too!

This time I booked a private hot spring room. The room was very spacious, with two bedrooms, plus a living room, dining area, and a balcony with fantastic mountain views. The private hot spring was also excellent, with sulfur-rich water that was truly rejuvenating. Upon arrival, we were offered green tea and homemade pastries. Both breakfast and dinner were delivered to the room with dedicated service. The alcoholic beverages we ordered were also reasonably priced. The service was superb. This established hotel offers incredible value for money and is definitely worth a second visit.
