We had a 3D2N stay in this sleepy town although many others had merely a day trip. The hotel staff have been properly trained and provided excellent service quality throughout our stay. The room was well upkept, and even we booked a smaller sized room, it is actually enough for 3-4 pax, with extra futon in the closet. The food variety at buffet breakfast and dinner was splendid, and guests were spoilt for choice. Unfortunately the dispenser for plain water was spoilt and we were unable to drink some plain water, amidst all the sweetened drinks and caffeine. We stayed at the West building which was located above the Great Bath (大浴场) which is rather convenient, but could be a little walking distance from the dining hall. The escalator leading from lobby to west building was damaged since 5th Oct and could be a slight challenge for those who need help with heavy luggage or walking, although there is a fire lift next to it, but with limited capacity. The restaurant on level 5 is a must-try at affordable prices, with service that make you feel like a king (or queen)! Must book early for dinner reservation to avoid disappointment. Our check out was a little dismal, as we had booked a taxi to bring us and our heavy luggage to JR station to make our way to Hakodate. The desk staff had overlooked our booking and we had to rebook our transport! As our train was scheduled to depart at 1058hrs, we nervously looked at our watches while waiting for our taxi to arrive. Alas, no taxis came even at 1025hrs, but a staff dressed in blazer, name 深田，volunteered to drive us personally to the station and we made it to the station in time! All in all, the hotel is highly recommended for people who wish to take it slow and relax, with onsen readily available and the walk to the nearby Hell’s Valley.

Best Hotel Location you can find in Noboribetsu! It’s located at the Top of the mountain with a great view of the Hell’s Valley! 3 mins walk to the Hell’s Valley entrance and 4 mins walk to the foot of the Bear Park Ropeway. Just 2 shops away from the hotel, you get to enjoy very delicious and value Japanese fresh seafood served as sashimi or grilled. If you get to be served by Hotel staff Hegde Prawjal (an Indian young man who speaks good Japanese and English), you are in luck! He gave us a great introduction of the hotel facilities, and the places of interest and food you can go to in Noboribetsu. We stayed 2 nights and we love the ryokan moods, the Yukata is nice and comfortable, the room is clean and the thick comforter on our futon beds are amazingly comfortable. Breakfast selection is impressive! Onsen is great with many springs and an outdoor onsen bath available. The Horse Oil shampoo set given freely for guests use are a steal! They really serve premium products to their guests. We will give this Hotel a 5 Star!! Well done Takimotokan!

This place is a huge complex complete with various dining outlets, a food/souvenir shop, amusement/arcade area in addition to all the usual onset resort facilities. It seemed very child friendly and popular with families. The buffet dinner and breakfast both had a large number of options and we had no problem securing a table as the complex was so big. However because this place houses so many guests, it would be prudent to plan your transfers to and from the hotel accordingly. It is about a 10 minute walk to the bus terminal where there are more buses to the local JR station but if you want a bus or taxi from the hotel itself, these are much fewer in number and frequency.

Very large hotel with a variety of rooms that attracts groups and families. This definitely is not a ryokan in terms of atmosphere or service. But what you do get is the largest indoor and outdoor onsen with 35 different baths that overlooks the volcanic Hell’s Valley. No other hotel or baths have these views. And if you pay for the premium onsen suites in the west building that just opened a year or two ago you get a large room with two beds, sofa, fireplace and mini bar overlooking Hell’s Valley and a outdoor private onsen bath with spectacular view of the valley. This room is top notch in facilities and amenities. Dinner and breakfast for these rooms are served in the Kaiseki restaurant which for this large hotel means semi private rooms with call button service. Still, the food was delicious varied and fresh that featured Hokkaido seafood. We would have preferred a smaller ryokan with better service but we cannot fault our room the food and the large onsen experience. So if you come here with those forewarnings and want a modern fireplace room with a view and private onsen and the large onsen experience you’ll have a great time like we did.

We stayed two nights and thoroughly enjoyed this old outdated hotel. Buffet was well done, with plenty of options. Rooms were typical of a ryokan, and were comfortable, unless you don’t like sleeping on the futons. Now the onsen experience was on another level. I rate it one of the best, and had so much choice of pools. I love the outdoor baths the most. Great stay!

Good location in the centre of the village. Friendly helpful staff with reasonable level of English. Clean, comfortable, spacious, very nicely decorated and well equipped room. Free parking though across the road. Great onsens on site. We had a western style room and saw reviews indicating they were a bit dated but this was absolutely not our experience, I think there has been good renovation. The hotel is very large and busy but it works. We took a package including kaiseki breakfast and dinner which was well worth it. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family, including grandma, came here last month. She loves the hot springs. We went to the hot springs every day. Here, they offer a Western and Japanese-style buffet, so my daughter (who doesn't eat raw fish) can also eat with us. Outside the hotel, there were some local restaurants as well. I can tell this hotel owned some of the best hot springs in Japan.

Good location. We stayed in the South bldg, superior twin room. Very big room. Breakfast was really very good, wide selection. Within walking distance to JIGOKUDANI & other attractions. Souvenirs shops around. Hotel onsen is big. & if you want to have some fun, try the fortune teller for ¥3,300. Will definitely stay in this hotel again for my next visit.
