Hotels near JR Moto-Wanishi Station, Muroran

Given the small remote location of the city, this is a really charming, modern guesthouse with good amenities. It’s very clean, has a small kitchen for guests, and a cafe with coffee and homemade soft serve (it’s great!) Five minute walk to the train station and bus to the Onsen. Good common seating area too and nice modern bathrooms. The dorms are also nice but beds and pillows are a bit too firm for me. But fine overall. The curtain for the beds is also a little cumbersome but it’s a nice big space to spread out. Can be snug with luggage but overall works. Staff is also very nice and speaks English well overall. Breakfast is free and quite good too. This hostel is a bit expensive for the area and Japan but with the breakfast included I think it’s a good deal overall. Would definitely stay again.

Noboribetsu, Hokkaido Prefecture. Filled with the mists of the North Pacific Ocean deep in the forrest valley lies the home of the thermal volcanic “hell valley”, all-natural hot springs, lakes, and the cuddly Bear Mountain Park. This is a tourist’s escape from whatever burdens them in the city, into the natural wonderland of mountains, hot spring streams, and warm local hospitality. The Noboribetsu Grand Hotel was opened in 1938. What was the Noboribetsu Guest House now revolutionized and expanded into a 300 plus room hotel with a finished off with a hot spring spa. Now a popular holiday getaway for the tourists both from Japan and abroad, this hotel packs itself to the brim both during the hot summers and the freezing winters. As part of our adventures down and around Hokkaido, we experienced this hotel and here’s our honest review of the Noboribetsu Grand Hotel: Our stay occurred from July 22nd to 23rd, this was our first night in Hokkaido after a long flight from Shanghai. A long hour drive from the highly trafficked New Chitose Airport would lead you to the Grand Hotel. Upon driving up, you would see how old the hotel is with its grey tiled walls and white drive up area. Greeting us at the hotel were the bellmen bowing as they would in the Japanese-style etiquette as you enter the lobby filled with one of Noboribetsu’s gift shop, monster figures, and marbled front desk area. None of the staff members spoke much English, so our lovely tour guide helped us in translation. Our check-in agent guided us through the specific details of the hotel facilities, breakfast facilities, and tatami installation times. We were given a 4-person Japanese-style “VIP” room, which consists of an at most 30 SQM space with a tatami floored living/bedroom space combination, a sitting room, a toilet room, a sink area, and a compact bathroom with separate shower & bathtub facilities. During the daytimes, living room acts a place for dining and seating with tatami chairs and a table. The TV stands at a corner. At around 7PM, the room attendants would turnover the tatami beds by moving the tables and chairs into the closet space and setting up the tatami beds. The tatami beds were rather inconvenient for us because of the size of the pillows that made of the tatami rather hard to sleep on. Don’t get us wrong, tatami beds are an efficient sleeping beds for families, but a single small sized pillow per bed makes the difference between authentic Japanese comfort and discomfort. Much of the challenge during the sleeping process was making sure your body stayed on the mattress when getting used to the firm yet small bean-filled pillow. I would recommend rooms that they provide that caters to a more westernized style with full beds. The tatami issue is a situation the hotel needs to revamp on. If they can start providing extra pillows in the closet or thicker sized pillows, it would be a great turnaround. The Japanese Hot Spring SPA concept is quite bizarre. Unlike mos

Stayed for 3 consecutive holidays in January. In front of the bus terminal. It is my prerequisite that dinner is not a buffet style, so when I searched for a reasonable inn, it was inevitable that I came here. Others will be at a reasonable price, and it will be difficult to use it easily, like a light hot spring for one night alone. It's a sulfur spring that seems to be Noboribetsu, and I think the hot springs are good. The smell of sulfur permeates the body for a while. Dinner is room meal. Well, is it a price? The taste and quantity are reasonable. Breakfast is buffet style, and there are plenty of friends of rice such as tarako and salty. Can you eat this if you care about the pudding body? There was curry in the morning, so I had it lightly after this. There is a public bath called ”Sagiri Yu” next to it, and I got a ticket to enter freely before and after the stay, so I was worried about going, but I gave up because it was cold. If it's not snowy season, you can go, but it's really annoying to change clothes and wear shoes.

The hotel has a grand appearance. You can see it immediately after getting off the Noboribetsu Onsen Bus Terminal. It can be reached within a 5-minute walk. There is a convenience store near the hot spring street. The space in the room is large, but the only air-conditioning equipment is heating. Although I visited in winter, the heating was relatively strong and hot, so I needed to open some windows for ventilation. The large bathhouse has two floors. Men and women exchange entrances in the morning and evening. It is very large and has multiple hot spring pools. The large bathing room on the B2 floor is very beautiful, so it is recommended to go to the open-air couple.

Traditional Japanese ryokan. Charming in an old style. Food is great, from the aspects of ingredients selections to presentations. The location is good too, closed to shopping street, next to the hell valley.. so near that we smell sulphur all the time. We had 2 traditional kaiseki dinners which were adventurous and amazing. However, we were put off by shark fin soup in one of the appetizer dishes. It is sad. Onsen water was genuine from my opinion. It made my skin and hair so soft and straightaway! Magic! However, the public onsen room was quite old and looked slightly unclean. This could be improved I think. The room was tiny. The shower/bathroom was also tiny. According to the size, I think our stay is overpriced.

We stayed on a tour of Trapix. Noboribetsu Onsen seems to have several hotels of the same affiliation, among which it seems to be a hotel of a convenient rank. It was a little far from the hot spring town, but it was about 15 minutes walk to ”Hell Valley”. The hot spring is located further down the stairs from the first basement floor, but I thought that the five bathtubs had different spring quality hot water, and it was a hotel built on the source of Noboribetsu Onsen. This hot spring was the best. At the restaurant, the table was assigned to each room for the tour guests, so if I went in time, I could eat without being crowded. It was snowing outside the window and there was a taste. Dinner was a buffet, but all-you-can-eat crabs seemed to be on sale, but the shrimp was better. Squid somen and shrimp tempura were also delicious. There are many Hokkaido dishes for breakfast, and it seems that you can have a cup of rice with just squid sashimi from the morning. I thought that the dessert mango and almond tofu were similar to high-end Chinese restaurants. It was nice that the room had a large size of a Japanese-style room and a Western-style room, but it is dry even if it is humidified with an air purifier, so be careful in winter.

夫婦で9月に泊まりました。(30代前半夫婦) 登別温泉エリアにしては、評価が高かったので、期待していたのですが、お写真と全く違うお宿で、少し残念な気持ちになってしまいました、、、 コロナ禍で経営大変だったかと思うので、これ以上を望むのはどうかとも思うのですが、純粋に宿として、個人的に感じたことを記載させていただきます。いち口コミとして、受け取っていただければと思います。 泊まったお部屋は和洋室のお部屋です。 ●接客 ベテランの方が多く、接客に慣れた様子で、話しかけてくださる方が多かったので、アットホームな印象がありました。 きめ細やかな接客の高級旅館の雰囲気というより、気軽に話しかけやすいスタッフの皆様で親しみやすい雰囲気でした。 ただ、言わなきゃやってくれないスタッフさんが多くて残念でした。 ●駐車場 車係の方が停めてくれます。 ●食事 夕食+朝食共に部屋食だったのは嬉しかったです。 夕食は懐石料理で、ボリュームはたっぷり。 味については、先付けや前菜で出していただいた料理があまり口に合いませんでした。 お刺身やお野菜の蒸したもの等、素材の味で勝負するようなお料理については、とても美味しく、「流石北海道」と思いました。 繁忙期だったので、大変だったとは思うのですが、お料理が冷めて固くなってしまっていたものもあったのが残念でした。 デザートもメロンと使ったゼリーを出していただいたのですが、フルーツをそのまま出していただいた方が、満足度は高かったかもしれないと思いました。 自分のことを棚に上げてこんな事を書くのは恐縮ですが、全体的に「まずいわけではない、、、だがしかし、、」と言った感想です。 ●大浴場・温泉 温泉は21〜21時半の男女風呂入れ替え時間を除き、基本的にいつでも入れるのは魅力的でした。 お掃除はきちんと定期的にして頂いているのか、髪の毛が落ちているとか滑りが気になるとか、そういった点は全くなかったです。 露天風呂の岩の部分が割れていたり、錆びた換気扇の排気口がお風呂から丸見えだったり、設備の古さは所々感じました。 旅館がオフィシャルで載せているお写真では、すごく素敵な露天風呂に見えるのですが、露天風呂の景観は余り綺麗ではなかったです。 また、他の方の口コミにもありますが、露天風呂の底地に砂のようなものが沢山沈んでいて、ジャリジャリしていました。(詳しい事は分からないのですが、これは温泉の性質上、しょうがないのかもしれません、、、わかりませんが) お風呂自体も脱衣所も、さほど広くないので3組くらい宿泊客が重なると、窮屈に感じるかと思います。 ただ、そもそもそこまで大きなお宿ではないので客数も比較的少なく、「混んでて困った」という事は私はありませんでした。 ちなみに、大風呂にあるドライヤーは1つのみで、後は各お部屋に1つ置いてあるのですが、ドライヤーのクオリティは低かったです、、、 髪の長い方はご自身で持ち込み、お部屋でドライヤーする事をお勧めします。 ●館内全体の設備 全体的に古かったです。 ●お部屋 お部屋も古く、湿気のせいかお部屋の角が少しシミで汚れているところもありました。 ベッドのお布団も重たく、昭和の時代を感じました。お部屋にあるお風呂、洗面所も古いタイプのデザインでした。 しょうがないのかもしれませんが、湿気の匂いもしました。 登別温泉エリアをドライブした際に、この街全体、少し廃れた雰囲気を感じたので、その中ではこちらの宿は比較的良い方だとは思うのですが、 清水屋さんは、少し変えたらもっと良くなりそうな点が色々あるなぁと思いました。 宿のターゲットが分からないのですが、私たち夫婦のような30代夫婦であれば、もう少し以下のような点を改善していただけたら、良いのになぁと思います。 ・照明を少しおしゃれなものにする等、所々ハイセンスな小物を置く ・枕元に充電できるコンセントを置く ・わざわざ懐石にしなくていいと思うので、料理のクオリティを上げる ・古い事自体は魅力ですが、汚い印象はNGなのでひび割れしているところ、壁紙の色が変わっているところは修復したほうがいい ・寝室に置いてある鏡台は撤去してほしいかも、、、寝ながら鏡が見えるのは怖すぎ 設備が古くてもこういったお宿なので、スタッフの方のおもてなし面を期待していたのですが残念でした。 荷物を運ぶにしても、駐車するにしても、声をかけなきゃ手伝ってくれません。何のために入り口に立っているのか謎なスタッフさんもいました。 お年の方も多かったので、もうオーナーさんは廃業にしようとしているのですかね、、、 登別はクマ牧場に行ってみたくて訪れたのですが、もう目的が達成されたので、正直、次北海道来ても登別温泉に行く事はないかなと思いました、、、 街全体がまた盛り上がりを見せる事を期待しています。

Everything was lovely. The grand bath was an eye opener and I love it. The breakfast spread was good too! We had ramen at one of the restaurants in the hotel at around 830pm after watching the demon show. We stayed there for 2 nights and did not utilise the grand bath on the 2nd night. I was charged the osen for 2 nights. My friend was not charged for the 2 nights as he did not utilize the onsen. The staff should have asked me before requesting payment of the 2 nights. - Carrine

I arrived late in the evening, but the parking lot was only available on a steep slope or a little further away, so I recommend going early. The room feels a little old, but I think all ryokan are like this. The dinner buffet was very satisfying with a large selection of freshly baked and fried dishes! I think that there are many kinds of breakfast, so you won't get tired of it even if you stay for a long time. The bath was large, and I was able to fully enjoy the hot water of Noboribetsu. Sauna is also available.

This is the first use. Stayed at my wife's birthday celebration. 3 Ｆ Japanese-Western style room with open-air bath in the East Building. I arrived earlier than 15:00 at check-in, but he passed me to the room early. When you attach the car, you will leave the car to the person in charge. You can see Lake Toya from the room. The large communal bath is located in Nishikan 3 Ｆ. There is a little distance, but it was saved because it was on the same floor. There is a sauna, so first go to the public bath. It was full, but it was vacant and enjoyed the sauna slowly. There is a water bath of ２ and one is a jacuzzi type. It has an autorouryu and can be put in 8 people. The clothes in the hall are separate types, and separate pajamas are also available. Supper is a French course. Other reviews said that the amount was small, but we were quite enough. There are plenty of alcohol and many types. After dinner, go to the second large communal bath. I also got Ochazuke from 22:00 and went to bed. Enjoy the sauna in the morning and have breakfast. Half buffet that can be selected from Japanese and Western. We choose Japanese food. The buffet is also ample for us on a plate with freshly cooked new rice and autumn salmon. It's delicious no matter what you eat. The smoothie was also delicious. The staff were overseas, but they were very good at customer service. Good room, good food, good spa, good service and great satisfaction. Thank you for your wife's Poot casually giving me a birthday celebration message and present with white chocolate for dinner dessert. It was an inn that I definitely wanted to use again.
