When planning my first trip to Sapporo, I really wanted to include a hot spring experience. Naturally, Noboribetsu came to mind for hot springs, and that's how I found Hanaya while looking for a ryokan in the area.
I'd seen reviews mentioning its location at the entrance of Noboribetsu made it a bit far, which wasn't an issue for us since we had a rental car. However, upon arrival, I realized it's not that far at all, and it's perfectly walkable unless it's extremely cold and snowy.
The hot springs are separated for men and women, and the bath locations switch daily. Each gender's bath area has one indoor and one outdoor bath. Since the ryokan itself is small, if you time it right, you can often have the place to yourself. Maybe you'll encounter just one or two other guests? It's a genuine sulfur hot spring; remember to shower briefly before entering and keep towels and hair out of the water.
You can't talk about a ryokan without mentioning kaiseki! We booked a stay for four people including dinner and breakfast, and dinner was kaiseki. It was served course by course, looked absolutely beautiful, and I found it incredibly delicious. For the price point, I was thoroughly satisfied.
In the lobby, there are complimentary drinks available, including sake and beer, which you can enjoy as much as you like.
Even though it's a small ryokan, they upgraded our room, and the staff were legendary for their kindness. It was a truly satisfying ryokan experience. I hope to visit again if I get the chance.

It's a small hotel. There are two old people at the reception. The environment is very friendly and family-friendly. There are few people in the hot spring, so it is very comfortable. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs, and the water temperature is also marked. The experience is good. The breakfast and dinner are also rich, with many varieties and good taste.

Ngaire PThis place is amazing and I really don't understand why it has such a low rating. Rooms may be a little small but are big enough for us plus 2 large packs. Beds and pillows are comfy, generous shower/toilet space, stylish yukata/obi.The onsen are great (including free access to the multitude of options across the road at the Takimotokan hotel). And the on-site bakery and cafe are fabulous. Close to attractions plus shops and restaurants. Very friendly and helpful staff too. Free parking. Very reasonably priced too. Really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Would highly recommend.

Our family of three comfortably stayed in a room that featured both a tatami mat area and a Western bed. Upon check-in, we were given traditional Japanese yukata. The onsen (hot spring baths) are conveniently located on the B1 floor. For breakfast, there was a good selection of both Japanese and Western dishes. The hotel's location is also quite close to Jigokudani.

Though a bit old, it's very clean. The buffet is generous and the hot springs are comfortable. It's located right across from the bus terminal, and just a few minutes' walk to Jigokudani (Hell Valley). Great value for money, convenient transportation, and excellent service.
