“Excellent amenities. The surroundings have many eateries as well.”
The hotel is very clean and excellent amenities. The best place we enjoyed is definitely the onsen experience. One of the best onsen in Japan with spectacular views of Jigokudani.

This is a rather self-contained establishment - there are some shops, a small arcade, and a few restaurants within the hotel. Our room in the main building was sufficiently large for our family; the futons that they provided were also very comfortable. The Grand Bath, whilst showing some signs of age, was all in all pretty well-maintained. Location-wise, we appreciated the fact that many things were within walking distance - e.g. the small food/ shopping street was right at our doorstep, and it was a short walk to the start of the Jigokudani trail. There was also a shuttle bus that took us to the Bear Park ropeway.

“A simply incredible place!”
Wow, what a place! This is not just a hotel, it's a huge resort with several restaurants, a huge onsen complex, amusement arcades, an ice cream parlour and even two karaoke bars. It is in the best location for Noboribetsu and Hell Valley, which is literally a two minute walk away. I would highly recommend our deluxe Japanese room. It was huge and spacious, the biggest room we stayed in in Japan. The staff come in to set up your beds on the floor each evening. We had a gorgeous garden view with a peaceful fountain. There was a kettle and tea bags and coffee in the room, but no milk sachets (we took these from the buffet instead). The dinner buffet is fantastic! So many incredible options, from sashimi and fresh crab to hot Vietnamese dishes, a ramen bar, salads, soft serve and ice cream. We had the buffet for two nights but we also had the kaiseki in Yunosato restaurant on one night, which was exceptional - many courses of delicious food. The staff were so lovely. The breakfast buffet was very varied - mostly savoury Japanese options but a few western options too eg small croissants and fried eggs. The onsen was amazing. It's all single sex and there are about 15 different baths on the women's side (same on the men's side). It's all naked, but there's also a (hot) 25m swimming pool and one jacuzzi where you can be clothed and all genders are allowed. In the single-sex onsen, there are a few cold water pools as well. If you stay more than one night, you get a few benefits eg a bonus dish in the dinner buffet, and a voucher for discount on the ice cream parfaits. I highly recommend staying more than one night as there's so much to do: we loved Lake Toya (cycling), the Ainu museum (Upopoy) and Hell Valley. Finally, there's a huge tax-free shop on site where you can buy all your souvenirs, and they also ship your luggage using the Yamato service if needed.

“Will stay again.”
The heated pool and onsen is the greatest draw. Warm and welcoming service at check in. Room is spacious even for 4 futons. Short walk from bus terminal through pretty shops along the main street. Right next to Hell's Valley and the Sengen Park Geyser.
