We had an amazing stay at Ryotei Hanayura. The ambiance is just beautiful with Japanese cultural motif. Every piece of decor is exquisite. We had a traditional Japanese room facing the mountain with private onsen. The room is very spacious. The kaiseki breakfast and dinner were delicious. We stayed for 3 nights and our last night’s dinner was Crab kaiseki dinner, with different kinds of crab. Breakfast has Western buffet with the sweetest fresh fruits (apple, pineapple, kiwi and oranges) and with our kaiseki breakfast, our table was full of this scrumptious food. Service is par excellence. We had our own personal hostess for dinner, Yui Ikeda. She is friendly and sweet and gave us the best service during dinner in our private room. Every personnel that we met we’re respectful and friendly. The indoor and outdoor onsens we’re a bliss, very clean and ambiance at the outdoor onsen was just amazing. The Ryokan is 12 minutes walk to Jigukudani (Hell Valley) and to shopping street. Bus stop to JR Noboribetsu Station and Date Jidaimura is across Ryokan and you just pay driver 340 yen. I received a phone call from them while on the train to Sapporo telling me that I forgot my credit car in my kimono coat. They we’re going to send it to me to Sapporo TV Tower at Shuttle Bus’s receptionist. How honest is that? I will stay at Ryotei Hanayura again if we go back to Noboribetsu.
