Well what Japanese do is go and see the Clocktower but its not very spectacular. There is also a botanical garden and a Tower you can go up to. Other than that there is a quite big underground mall along the subway tracks and Susukino with lots of Isakayas, Clubs and stuff.
You can also reach Otaru by train in about an hour. Its also famous with japanese people, you can stroll along a river with cafes and stuff but you would have to look it up in a guide book because î`ve only been there a few hours.
So, Noboribetsu is definetly high class and comfortable. The town is quite small and most things are easy to reach by foot.
I`d recommend to go from Tokyo to Sapporo and Furano on the first day (if you fly to sapporo). Than spend the whole next day in Furano and leave after lunch on your 3rd day to Sapporo. Check in and see Susukino at night. Spent 1 or 2 days in Sapporo and than fly to Tokyo (so fly back on day 5 or 6)
