Traditional Ryokan and onsen, quiet and quaint, a real gem in the popular Noboribetsu district.
Noboribetsu is famous for its hot springs, demon statues and other natural wonders, in a part of Japan already well known for its abundance of natural beauty. Sanseikan is a little less than 10 km from the town centre, far away from the hustling and bustling mega hot spring resorts.
Fashioned after the traditional ryokan (Japanese inn), Sanseikan is a unique mixture of the old and new. The rooms are traditionally equipped with low tables, tatami mats and futons. They are spacious, clean and comfortable. The onsen is divided along the gender line, and each side has three pools - one outdoor and two indoor. The bathing facilities are modern, clean and well-equipped.
We were served a traditional breakfast and it was fantastic! If you do not want to drive into town for dinner, you may want to alert the inn ahead of time and they will prepare dinner for you.
Sanseikan is perfect for a quiet getaway to really enjoy the natural hot springs, nature, and the company of your travel companion. Highly...

Read moreThe hotel is a little off the beaten track - 7 km from town centre but the access quick & easy if you drive. Make sure to have your dinner arranged beforehand if you don't fancy driving to town in the dark. The location is surrounded by trees and a handful of buildings...hotels presumably. Quiet and peaceful surrounds. Inside of the hotel is nothing to brag about. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast consisted of a reasonably good set Japanese meal. What made my stay memorable was the cosy onsen which felt like a private hot spring but that's probably because I stayed on a weekday with hardly any other guests around. Although I felt the hotel room was a little over-priced, I would neverthelessrecommend it for the onsen experience, if...
