Book a hotel near Date Jidaimura, Noboribetsu

"The Hanayura is fantastic. The facilities are old but it's all clean and well kept. The front doors smell of sulfur but that's because you're in an onsen town. The meals were fantastic. Very filling and very intricately prepared. Be aware that the meals may not be to everyone's taste. Or you may not notice the intricacy or details in the preparation. But you're here to experience a traditional ryokan and traditional meals. If that's not for you then you shouldn't pick some place like this. The in room onsen cools down at the bottom in the morning so mix the water before hopping in. Assortment of public onsen was great as well. The hotel has a walk through to another onsen that you can access for free as well. We only found out on the last day"

"Great location. Near attractions. Good dining experience"

"Stayed at 3 properties in 4 days. This one was the very best. Will come back again"

"The best onsen in town."

"Excellent guesthouse with very well equipped kitchen, complete with stove and rice cooker. Few minutes walk from train station with nearby supermarket and a few restaurants. It was a fantastic location, for early train departures. Bus to Noboritbetsu Onsen outside the train station. I especially liked all the tourist information they made available for guests, not just about the area but also of Hokkaido. "

"The hotel is very Japanese classic, you need to take off your shoes and store it at the entrance. Besides that, it is great! The staffs there are super friendly; The hot spring is definitely top tier, with nature spring hot water in. Room is also Japanese style, room is spacious and cozy. The only thing that need to notice is that the area does not have much public transportation or taxi services, you can ask the front desk to call a taxi for you, but need to prepare additional waiting time."
