Noboribetsu Sekisuitei

As last year, I stayed at Sekisuitei with a friend. My friend, who lives outside Hokkaido, stayed here last year and it seems to have become a favorite Hotel.They especially liked that the dinner buffet includes Jingisukan, and that while the Onsen isn’t particularly large, it has an open-air bath and several different baths. (Each one is set to a different temperature.)At the Hotel, we enjoyed soaking in the Onsen many times. From our Room, we could hear the sound of a nearby river (or maybe a small stream), which was very relaxing.We used the Shuttle Service bus, and thanks to the driver’s polite service and careful driving, we felt safe throughout.If possible, I would like the Sapporo departure time to be 1:00 PM. With a 2:00 PM departure, arrival at the Hotel is around 4:00 PM, and by the time you get into your Room and settle in, it’s already about 5:00 PM. It’s disappointing not being able to do any sightseeing around Noboribetsu town.

This was my first stay. The Onsen was excellent. The meals were delicious. It was disappointing that the toilet seat in the Room was cold.
