Top Couple Friendly Hotels in Noboribetsu

"The traditional tatami room truly impressed us, but the highlight of our stay was the open-air private sulphur onsen in our room. It was incredibly therapeutic, and I absolutely loved the natural sulphur scent that filled the space—it made the experience feel authentic and deeply relaxing. A heartfelt shoutout to the staff for their exceptional hospitality. From the warm welcome upon arrival to assisting with our luggage and thoughtfully preparing our beds, every detail was handled with care. They were genuinely kind and attentive throughout our stay. Although the hotel is quite old, we appreciated it as part of its vintage charm. It feels like a place rich with history and stories, which adds a unique character you don’t often find in modern hotels. The 7-course kaiseki dinner completely blew us away. From the exquisite plating to the impeccable service, every dish reflected the chef’s dedication and craftsmanship. Even breakfast exceeded our expectations. While described as a buffet, the beautifully presented bento-style offerings along with the comforting soup-based dishes were both satisfying and delicious. Yes, the price is on the higher side, but it is absolutely worth every penny we spent."

"The location is super convenient, right in the heart of the hot spring town. It's just a few minutes' walk to Noboribetsu Onsen Station, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The room was a Japanese-style one, but the design and decor felt a bit underwhelming, not as stylish as the lobby. The main drawback was that the tatami mat was a little dirty. However, the restaurant was lovely with nice partitions between tables, and the food was excellent. The mini hot pot for dinner, with its tomato broth, seafood, and tofu, was a delightful surprise. The main course was a massive grilled fish – I was stuffed! The onsen itself was on the smaller side, so it wasn't overly crowded. The indoor baths were very hot, so I ended up spending all my time in the outdoor ones. Overall, I was satisfied."
