Oyado Kiyomizuya

Best value ryokan in Noboribetsu. Great food and service

The room was very spacious and clean, but one thing I didn't enjoy was the smel of bug killer spray. I think I wasn't lucky. I'm sure the room usually doesn't smel. The food was amazing.

Pros: - very spacious room - very comfortable Japanese-style beds - outdoor onsen pool was incredible - excellent service/attentive staff - walkable to Jigokudani and shopping street - water/electricity/heating all functional Cons: - very outdated decor (though if you’re just there to sleep, that’s fine) - hallways feel like they are from The Shining - random gunk all over the walls and peeling wallpaper (in hallways and room) - some mold in the bathroom - generally in a state of disrepair unfortunately

Great traditional ryokan with Hot Springs Onsen.

A generally clean but dated accommodation which could need some touch-ups. The service was excellent, the room ok, though no A/C and might become hot in summer. The one sore spot was the bathroom: the shower curtain was full of black mould spots - the rest of the bathroom however was ok. As I have only seen this the last morning - I was using the onsen the other days, it made no sense to complain to the front desk. However, this shouldn’t have happened in the first place as this was not a hidden spot but very obvious. Another disappointing thing, not the fault of the property though, was the limited availability of restaurants as many were closed in town.

Well located but old property that would deserve to be refreshed.

Osen is good

nice onsen

First time to Noboribitsu and it was great. It deep down in the mountains in its own little town. Definitely would have to take a bus or taxi in to get to the town

Staff is excellent. The building is a bit dated but good enough and clean for us. The suit (2 rooms) is so spacious. We have a choice to sleep either on the “tatami “ or bed. We had the Half Board (Breakfast and Dinner) definitely worth for the money and experience. The hike in the surrounding area was excellent. Recommend strongly 😀

Good

Booked two rooms for my family and they upgraded us to two bigger rooms. The property is a little antiquated and small, but still well maintained in spite of its age, and retains quite a bit of charm. Location wise it is slightly further away compared to the other properties, so requires abit of uphill walking. There is an indoor and outdoor onsen. I enjoyed the quietness and calm of the propert the most - it was very healing.

Nice place to stay if u want to get out of the city for some peace and quiet. Dining is not easy to find. Many places are closed when we were there. The hotel service staff were excellent but while the onsen was good, it’s very old and run down.

Wonderful Japanese style inn. Excellent meal, delicious Japanese food is served in your room. Onsen water quality was outstanding! Staff was friendly. Older building, but still worth to visit. We will return!

A bit old. Plenty of room space. Friendly staffs and service. Famous onsen water but the onsen facility is aged and update would be be appreciated.

I was singing ‘I’ve seen better days’ song the whole time. The building was a little run down and bath/spa was dark and slippery. They have very nice specially made tatami at the reception with carp embroidery. Staffs were somewhat upbeat and nice.

Great view of the lake. Had a chance to experience traditional rooms

Service was great. Reception was friendly. Hot spring place was not as big as I expected. However, the room Was overall clean and tidy just a bit old.

A very nice small hotel, unfortunately they are not realy separate smoking and non smoking rooms

Chose this ryokan to avoid tour groups & hectic buffet breakfasts.. However age has caught up with this ryokan. In need of some major upgrading. Room carpet appeared worn out, safe n bathroom harkened from 1980s. Onsen was dank. The water's high sulphur content probably explains the crusty pool bottoms. Large drops of condensed steam dropped from the onsen ceiling on unsuspecting guests' head as they soak. Certain part of the ceiling appeared to be balking and was in need of urgent attending to or repair. The only outdoor pool was alright except that guests from adjacent hotel could peek over the bamboo fence and foliage at one side of the pool. If you are looking for a kid friendly ryokan, this ryokan may been suitable for you. Cot in the female onsen, crying child at next door onsen, an infant doing the same in the adjacent room. Dinner and breakfast were sumptuous and expectedly heavy. Our elderly floor stewardess was polite, attentive and is the best part of our stay in this ryokan. Unlikely we will return..
