We enjoyed relaxing stay at quiet neighbor of Karurusu onsen district. Within around 20 minuets drive, you can reach at Noboribetsu city which you can get some necessary items and food/drink. At the hotel we were warmly welcomed by hotel staffs. They were kind and polite, willing to help us to stay comfortably. Onsen had two indoor baths: One is natural hot spring bath which is very hot. Another one is blend of natural hot spring water and cold water. There is not lovely outdoor onsen. There are two sets of shower equipments, so you might have to wait when it’s busy. Since onsen is open from evening till next morning, we enjoyed onsen at night and in the morning. When it’s snowy, you will enjoy the view at the outdoor bath. At the dining room, we enjoyed wonderful dishes of meals in the evening and morning. Dinner included hotpot of chicken meat balls, which had amazing flavor! And other side dishes/sashimi/local pickles and fried fish etc tasted really good. Since the portion was huge, we couldn’t finish hotpot soup. However taste was incredible. We also enjoyed breakfast, it was so tasty. And if you have somebody to celebrate birthday, they will be helpful to arrange it in advance. About the facility, building is compact and only has a little lounge area. There was no internet. So it will be recommended for people who just want to relax in the hotel and room, enjoy onsen and meals

Friendly hosts! We really enjoyed staying there. The shower area is separate at the hot springs area. We enjoyed the yummy breakfast and dinner - we were so full!

A lovely onsen hotel. It’s 11km out of Noboribetsu itself but free bus transfer down to town (get regular bus back). Important to note: dinner that is delicious at 6 pm sharp so arrive accordingly. Proprietor kind and helpful. Food amazing. Onsen well equipped and lovely outdoor bath area. Rooms a little nondescript but comfortable. Loved it.
