Noboribetsu Onsen in Hokkaido ♨️ Ryokan, Japanese Inn | Hokkaido Series 4/7

[@Sunnykiwi07]

The scenery was peaceful and beautiful! I love the background music, of course, the food descriptions, and the room tour. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful tour of your Onsen in Hokkaido experience.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️

[@allanelliot1566]

Just went there few days ago......You make it seem so much more fun and classy!!! great sounds !!! Great video...Big thanks...back home today

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Goooood evening guys!! 🌝 If you’ve been following my Instagram today you know that I finished editing the video really last minute 😂 Anyway, the important question is - what was my favourite food in Noboribetsu? I guess we know from my reaction 😂🍦

[@dominichill1492]

That cookie bar looked pretty good. The rooms look very clean and neat.

[@stevew2926]

the portion size on the gelato was larger than normal! when i got some ice cream at kinosaki the cone was so narrow. yours was huge!🤩🌽

[@mikep608]

What does grated daikon taste like? I see it being put on teppanyaki steak.

[@dannyng3828]

Great video! 👏Love your reactions as you eat 😊 you’re very funny 😁

[@ethanmandel2413]

Loved all the food, as usual. It looks like a fun trip. I forwarded it to my father and uncle who are planning a Japan trip in the spring!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh nice! Thanks 😊

[@hjeddieh.a2675]

Nice place, beautiful, awesome and clean. Thanks you for sharing.

[@Nancy-zi6kd]

Love your detailed descriptions - great trip with such delicious food!

[@lucyslee]

Thank you for uploading this video. Going to Noboribetsu in October and still debating whether to stay at Sekisuitei or Daichi-Takimotokan. Looks like we got more food here seeing that you're allowed to go after the buffet item in addition to your kaiseki meals. And I noticed that the Seisuketei is more intimate.

[@Sabrina-pf3er]

hey there, i'm in the same pickle and trying to pick between sekisuitei or daichi takimotokan as well. Which one did you end up going to and can you please provide a review :)

[@mrkenwu1]

Sarah, You lift my spirit with your affable disposition.

朝飯豪華すぎます。朝から湯豆腐!

[@dominichill1492]

The lake is so beautiful, and it looks so beautiful in the city. I love the way you filmed this. You are one of my favorite youtubers.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alfianxx]

Yes, long duration, nice..thanks Sarah

[@PaisleyLdy]

I love your reactions as you eat. Thank you for taking me to a place I wouldn't be able to go to... I miss being able to walk and envy you. Happy eating.

[@rossb9984587]

It looks so beautiful there. I love ryokan, they're so relaxing to stay at.

[@mikaellarsson7932]

Great clip as usual, Sarah. When I lived in Japan I always bought dairy products from Hokkaido. The yellow cheese is excellent and butter too.

[@kimspiano888]

I just found your channel and love what you are doing with your channel. I immediately subscribed to your channel and enjoy your food venture across japan. Keep up your good work and I look forward to more videos from you. Cheers from Los Angeles.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you so much for the comment!! It means so much to me 😭

[@rjl310]

The meal looks AMAZING.

[@ペン虹虹]

Sarahさんこんばんは！ 登別良いですねー😆 登別で最も石水亭が大好きで毎回宿泊しますよ！何と言っても夕食の質の良さが1番のお気に入りです💕 いつも冬場に行くので俱多楽湖に着く頃には日が暮れて全貌が観れてなかったので観れて嬉しかったです✨✨

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

えっ！そうなんですね！それはとてもびっくりです😲 夕食めちゃくちゃ美味しかったですし、とても感動しました！🤤 俱多楽湖、全然丸さがわかりませんでしたが😂

[@richardburr4934]

Buckwheat is a good substitute, if you find flour to be too dense. Or if you are trying to measure carbohydrate consumption. I grew up with buckwheat in pancakes. It can also be added to bread, muffin and cake making. Just reduce the amount of flour, and add buckwheat into the mix. It's similar to reducing sugar in a recipe. One can reduce sugar, and blend in substitutes like honey or brown sugar.

[@spark_6710]

That lake is so~beautiful & peaceful !!! I'd love to.visit there & spend some times with those swans there watching them & the lake !!! Also,I'd love to visit the onsen !!! My late dad was from Hokkaido ! I am watching this from L.A.!! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

[@colinmathie2710]

I was wondering what good morning was in Japanese, now i know, great video as always Sarah :)

[@spark_6710]

Lake Kuttara reminded me of Lake Tahoe here in the U.S.,so pretty !! 😍 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

[@AdvisorDanny]

Looks like great fun 🤩

[@rjl310]

The ryokan is lovely.

[@spark_6710]

OMG ! Lake Toya is so pretty ,too !!! 👍👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Sarah another fantastic vlog ! The Ryokan looked great to Sarah were you hungry or were you sharing ?

[@agustinmarquezsegat4725]

Arigato gozaimashita again for the series on Hokkaido! Did you have the chance to go to Hakodate?

[@ivvan497]

I'm glad I had dinner before watching 🤤😭

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

You know the drill now, that’s good 😂

[@ThatBrunetteYouTube]

Is the ryokan English-friendly? In the past, we were told not to stay at ryokan unless we had a guide to translate for us.

[@gutrevisan]

こんにちは、Sarah。私は2023年06月に北海道へ向かっています。あなたの記録は私にとって大変役立っています。コンテンツを共有してくれて本当にありがとう。 😊

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

よかったです☺️

[@shinnidan]

I been to a lot of different onsen in japan. A lot of old or even historical ones. If it wasnt for people my sensei knows, i would have never known or able to visit there as a normal tourist. 😕 For a country that eats a lot of rice, but when you go to these restaurants or inns, the menu does not include rice.😅

[@milragos36]

Hi I'm a new subscriber, I love your videos, btw do you have videos about Fukuoka?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Not yet, but I visited Fukuoka a while ago and I’m currently working on editing the video!! 🙌

[@milragos36]

@@TokyoFoodieSarah Thank you, looking forward to the video

[@julietai7465]

Such beautiful presentations of the food at ryokans. And, the food are so healthy too! Are there local buses to these places such as Hell Valley? Or, do the hotels/ryokans provide tours? Thanks for another wonderful vlog! 🙏

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I had a look and there's a local bus that goes from the Noboribetsu station to Park Hotel (going through the onsen ryoka area). If you walk for about 10 mins from Park Hotel you can get to Jigokudani! Sekisuitei doesn't provide bus service to Jigokudani, but it's a 15 min walk!

[@julietai7465]

[@wolverine1820]

my dream vacation japan, with my wife and daughter 💕💕💕

[@InitialXG]

Is this a good place for a couple to visit? Or is it better for solo travellers? Price?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Yes it’s definitely a great place for a couple or family! Price depends on the season, but around 10-20k yen per person per night including dinner

[@mir4ge21]

I wonder what mode of transportation would you recommend for tourists to travel in Hokkaido (across different places, e.g. Hakodate, Lake Toya, Sapporo) during the winter?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

It’s difficult to travel across Hokkaido if you don’t rent a car. But if you’re staying just within central Hakodate or just central Sapporo, you can use public transport. I’ve never driven across Hokkaido in the winter so here’s just based on what I found. You can rent a car with studless snow tires within Hokkaido. But because there’s snow you really need to be careful when driving. It’s best to schedule out your plans as you need to drive much slower in the winter. I hope that helps! 😊

[@mir4ge21]

@@TokyoFoodieSarah thanks!

[@DaveHines1]

Sounds like you really liked the gelato there , but we all know you like scallops everywhere 😃 but then again you just like food 🤣🍶🥂so enjoy 😉

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Yup food in general is amazing LOL

[@darielloyj]

So I'm planning to visit next march and have a night at lake Toya before spending 4 nights at Sapporo. Do you think it's worth to drive to jigokudani from Sapporo? Are there any spots which are only accessible by car which u can recommend?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

It’s about an hour drive from lake Toya to Jigokudani. I’d personally drive for an extra hour or two to have a look at Jigokudani. I thought it was quite interesting. I recommend all the places to visit in my “what to do” and “what to eat” videos in the Hokkaido series so you should take a look! In particular I recommend Kitchen Farm Yard near Sapporo for soup curry and Lake Hill farm near lake Toya for gelato 🥰 These places are only accessible by car!

[@AI-MusicPlanet]

Very well shot video, I have come to expect nothing less from you Sarah.🙂...please do a reaction to NiziU's two new MV's if you have time.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Yes I've been wanting to do that... I'll definitely try to find some time 😢

[@japanate8416]

Sugoi yabai 😆 that food.

[@happy_camper]

It’s a beautiful lake-OMG SWANS! 🤣

[@alexsanderawal5446]

😇.. .

[@mx5hong]

AHHHHH!!! What's that @ 0:31!!! Is it just a harmless non poison snake? Or something else? I wonder if it's edible. Duh, duh, DUH...

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

It was a carp 😂 it is edible but I heard it’s not very nice lol

[@mx5hong]

Wow! Look at all the seafood. Even though I'm Korean-American (if it matters), I don't like seafood. Go figure. I drove my mom to the breaking point. She told me when I was old 4 years old, I choked on a fish bone. Maybe that's why? But then again I should not have remember that incident. Anyways, I would love to visit Japan. I would not have any trouble finding food right? ;) HAHAHAHA!!! Oh about the soba, I notice you dunk the whole noodles into the soup. I only dunk about about half way. The soup is heavy for my taste. Mind you the soup comes from the Asian supermarket. The soup base from restaurants to heavy. Don't tell me I should've diluted first? D'oh!!!

[@Murasaki.]

Sarah: The food is actually for two people, half of it is mine or maybe everything is mine! Me: 😆

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

😈

[@noorfazira3043]

Ok the bes japan .....

[@toni-kaku]

Wow so much good food and so many plates per person. I feel sorry for the people who wash the dishes in a ryokan!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Omg I was thinking of the same thing... 😂

[@elfidge1]

I stayed in Noboribetsu Manseikaku back in 2017 and it was pretty disappointing, but the area itself with all the 'hell' was interesting and worth visiting. It is part of the 'standard' tour of North Japan though, so we were surrounded by Korean, Taiwanese and mainland Chinese, but I imagine now it's all very local, which was what I would have preferred to have experienced.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that 😢 I hope your next visit to Japan will be a lot better!

[@virgiesuratos6311]

Wow!!!😘😘😘 Yummy!!!😍😍😍 Pretty good!!!😘😘😘

[@gnomevoyeur]

I’m very susceptible to perspiration so hot springs and saunas are not very appealing to me. Onsen eggs, however, look amazing.
