Dai-ichi Takimotokan

On the steaming edge of Noboribetsu’s Jigokudani, this 4-star ryokan sits a two-minute walk from the hell-valley hot springs and close to Kojohama Onsen and Noboribetsu Bear Park. River Oyunuma Natural Footbath, Date Jidaimura and Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe are all within easy reach — a top pick for onsen lovers and family-friendly stays.

Nearly 400 air-conditioned rooms mix traditional ryokan touches with modern comfort — refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks. Bathrooms feature deep soaking bathtubs (some rooms include bidets), complimentary toiletries and daily housekeeping; premium room guests get a priority check-in lane.

Soak in hot springs (onsen), unwind at the full-service spa, or make a splash in the indoor pool and waterslide — perfect for families. There’s also an arcade/game room and gift shops/newsstands to round out the resort vibe, plus multiple bars and lounges for evening drinks.

The property offers complimentary wireless Internet and 21 meeting rooms, alongside a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and free self parking.

Choose from four on-site restaurants, a coffee shop/café and a snack/deli, then unwind at one of the three bars or lounges for a nightcap.
