The onsen was very well organised although some areas were discoloured possibly due to oxidation etc, which affected the overall look and more aged. The resort is very very near to hell valley and there is a shuttle bus serving the area to the shops, etc. Great experience!

The hotel is in a great location, next to the Hell Valley walkable, and also Bear park, also walkable. In addition, the onsen is pretty decent and big, and there are outdoor onsens as well. Food is fantastic, and there are also arcade games in the hotel. Will not hesitate to visit here again.

This hotel has the most amazing onsen. There are 2 x floors of different spa and bathing options including sauna and steam room. There is also a swimming pool which we didn’t even get time to use. The onsen looks over the Hells Gate sight which is amazing. Deer are outside too. You can have beer in the outdoor onsen between certain hours as well. Would definitely recommend staying 2 nights so you can relax in the multitude of onsen choices!

Room we chose was very traditional Japanese, sleeping on Ryokan. Family enjoyed our stay being on the West building just a lift down to the Private Bath Onsen. Great experience with various variety of indoor onsen pools and not to miss the outside onsen experience. Very convenient and lovely walk to Hell Valley sightings of wild deers, easy stroll to convenient stores too

This is a beautiful property. There is a minor inconvenience that escalators to the onsen and pool are under construction but the elevator works. The natural hot spring baths are amazing and numerous. There are both dry and steam saunas. The grandkids had a great time in the pool with a water slide and played with other children. We had ryokan style rooms with tatami mats making this experience very traditional. The location is very convenient.

This is a gorgeous, elegant, clean hotel. The rooms were quite large and they have both western and Japanese style rooms. We had a western style room with regular beds and a shower. The friends we were traveling with had a Japanese style room with tatami mats, futon for sleeping, and a bathtub for soaking. I would have liked to experience the Japanese style room, but no option to choose was offered. Assignment to the “type” of room seems to have been random. I was a little disappointed by that but still our room was very nice. This hotel has an amazing onsen with multiple “pools” with different mineral composition for various health benefits. Checkout was rather early (10:00 am) which made us feel rushed - we barely had time for breakfast. And there was no casual cafe for breakfast on the property, by the way. We had to go to a neighboring hotel because we were “too late” for breakfast in their dining room (we got there at 8:15 and breakfast “closed” at 8:30) so they would not accommodate us. I felt that was a bit rigid and rather inhospitable as there were no other breakfast options in the hotel. This hotel is in walking distance of Noboribetsu’s famed “Hell Valley.”

Great hotel. Average service.
Average stay primarily due to the service. We received conflicting info about breakfast timings and ultimately were turned away from the breakfast that we paid for. The hotel did reimburse this. Location and onsen are fantastic.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel is in a good location. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food quality was very good. Where the hotel fails is that it does not have enough resources to clean the onsen and the onsen facilities from the onsen guests who simply are not considerate of others with their inconsiderate bad habits. These include discarding their face towels or their body towels on the floor instead of in the baskets marked for that; using razors and toothbrushes in the area for body washing and leaving their used razors and toothbrushes there, instead of discarding them away properly; wearing outside shoes inside when others are using the provided hotel slippers for inside. I doubt these guests would treat their own homes this way, so why do this when in Japan? The hotel cannot enforce or teach manners, so it should task more staff to clean up after the unfortunate behaviour of others. This just ruins for us the otherwise lovely hotel and overshadows the otherwise attentive and friendly staff efforts. I would not return to use this onsen.

First off the area in which Dai-ichi Takimotokan is located in is beautiful; small little onsen town with a few local shops and souvenir shops as well as two combini. The two main attractions Hell's Valley and Bear Park are both worth seeing. Check-in was smooth, and the staff member who helped me was incredibly professional. She checked me in right away and when I asked about making a bus reservation to go back to the airport she helped me make which made gave me a sense of relief. The facilities themselves were amazing, the grand bath was something out of a movie, and the amenities they provide are well rounded, i.e karaoke room, restaurants within the property, a small gaming plaza, table tennis, etc. The only negative that I will say is the smell of the area itself because of the natural sulfur that comes from the mountains which also provides the baths with the rich minerals; this is not the hotel's fault it is a natural occurrence and it'll take a day or so to get use to. Overall this was an amazing accommodation and I highly recommend for any type of traveler, be it their first time in an onsen hotel or repeated travelers to Japan and want to experience a different part of Japan.

Good: - onsen: real onsen and it's the biggest onsens I ever visited in Japan. - dining: I booked a kaiseki dinner and it was a great experience. - location: along the onsen street. And one of the biggest onsen ryokans there. Very near Hell Valley (about 5 min walk to the entrance) - room: the room is just sufficient for 2 pax to stay for a night. I personally like sleeping on a futon. - service: very patient front desk staff who guided me with good info.

The hotel is quite big, there are many buildings. The public bath is big and open 24 hours. There is no walk-in restaurant in hotel (need booking with room). Location is good, not far from bus stop. There are limited buses for nearest bus stop. It need to walk approx 10 minutes to bus station for more buses.
