Hotel Yumoto Noboribetsu

Eight of us stayed as a family in a standard Japanese-Western Room and a Japanese-Western Room with a private Onsen and sauna. The Rooms were very spacious, and even my parent with physical difficulties said the in-room Onsen and sauna were wonderful. As for the meals, I initially wondered if there would be enough, but the taste, quality, and portion size were all very satisfying. However, at the large public bath, some foreign guests were swimming in the tub and washing their faces there, and in the changing area they were using their smartphones pointed in our direction, which made me very uncomfortable (I don’t know whether they were taking photos). This is not the Hotel’s fault, but I would appreciate it if staff could make regular rounds to check and provide guidance. Even so, everyone in our family was very happy with our stay. We would definitely like to visit again.

Although we stayed on a night in the middle of a long holiday period, we were able to spend our time without too much crowding. While it does feel a bit dated, the Room has been renovated into a Japanese-Western style, and it was very convenient. Having meals served in the Room was relaxing and allowed us to enjoy them at our own pace. The Onsen also felt well-worn with age, but we were able to fully enjoy authentic sulfur springs, iron-rich springs, and saline springs.
