Hokuriku hot spring area × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

From arrival by car to departure, we had a very pleasant stay. All the staff were cheerful and very kind, and the meals were excellent. When we left by car, it was especially memorable that they kept waving until we were out of sight. We would definitely like to stay again.

This Accommodation overlooks a dam lake and the surrounding forest. All you see is nature—no signs of people in the landscape. There is an open, panoramic bath. With a roof and glass doors that can be closed, it may not be a true open-air bath in the strict sense, but it is very comfortable. All-inclusive, including draft beer after bathing. There’s a great selection of quality alcohol, and plenty of snacks as well. You’re free to take them back to your Room. I like their generosity. It’s perfect for an easygoing stay-in retreat. The Room isn’t overly large, but the toilet and washbasin area are spacious enough that it doesn’t feel cramped. Dining in a booth draped with long noren curtains while looking out at the scenery is truly gourmet dining in every sense of the word. The staff seem few in number, but everything runs efficiently with no wasted movement. Alcohol here is also free-flowing—it feels great. It’s quiet at night. At checkout, there was naturally nothing to pay at the counter—clean and simple—and I left thinking how much fun it was. My rating is subjective: I gave “value for money” a 3 (as expected for the price).

This stay was our long-awaited “revenge trip” after we had to cancel in February because a family member came down with the flu. Because the entire Accommodation is covered with tatami, our family member with mobility issues didn’t need to put on geta or slippers, and we were able to relax without stress. The Room was spotless and well maintained, making it very comfortable, and the view opened straight onto an unspoiled rural landscape. We took a breather with a welcome drink before dinner. Dinner featured an abundance of seasonal ingredients such as red snow crab, roe-bearing sweetfish, and matsutake mushrooms—delighting not only the palate but also the eyes and nose. The large public bath felt wonderfully open, as if an outdoor bath were floating within the garden. Towels were also stacked in front of the bath area, so there was no need to bring them from your Room as is common these days. If I had to mention one thing, I feel it would be more fitting to have towels rather than paper towels placed near the sink in the Room. At departure they even removed leaves stuck to our car’s windshield. There was no pushy “this-and-that” service; instead, their thoughtful attention that reaches exactly where needed was truly pleasant. It was an exceptional Accommodation that made us want to return in another season.

We stayed here on our family’s first trip to Hokuriku. The room, hot spring, meals, and staff were all wonderful, and our whole family was very satisfied. As the one who planned the schedule and chose the accommodation, I was truly happy to see everyone enjoy it so much. We would definitely love to stay again.

The entire accommodation is impeccably clean. Apart from our room, there was also a relaxation lounge where unlimited drinks and alcohol were available to enjoy while taking in the scenery. This is an exceptional accommodation where adults can unwind at their own pace. We vis

The sashimi boat platter at dinner was stunning and tasted amazing. Our whole family loved it, and we really enjoyed our drinks. Of course, the other dishes were delicious as well. Breakfast was a buffet, and the sashimi was excellent too. The sauna was very clean and relaxing. It opens from 4:00 a.m., so we could refresh with an early-morning sauna. We’d definitely love to come again.

This is a small Ryokan with a strong sense of history, and as soon as you step through the entrance, you are welcomed by a classic Japanese Ryokan that blends beautifully with nature. The attentive service from the staff and the view of Kakusenkei Gorge from the Room made for a wonderful welcome. The Onsen is also small, but it was calm and very relaxing. Most impressive of all was the dining experience—every detail, from the food to the presentation and tableware, was outstanding. This is an Accommodation I would definitely like to return to.

From the moment we arrived, the parking guidance, check-in, shop, and breakfast venue staff were all very welcoming, and their smiles and service made our stay truly comfortable. The Room was also clean and well maintained. We also appreciated the complimentary beer and ice cream after bathing. Thank you very much.

I loved the Japanese-modern exterior and the chic, calming interior. The guest room had a high ceiling, and the alcove lantern added a wonderful Japanese ambiance—I could really feel the good taste in the design. I heard there are only about 10 rooms in total, so the Onsen was never crowded and I could soak at my leisure. Dinner featured a wide variety of dishes using summer vegetables, seasonal fish, and local ingredients; I was very satisfied with the gentle seasoning. The edamame potage is something I’d love to have again. Breakfast also offered plenty of options and more than enough food—above all, the rice was delicious. From welcome to farewell, I felt truly high-quality service in every interaction with the staff. It was a stay that reminded me how glad I am to choose a Ryokan again after such a long time. Highly recommended Accommodation!

This was our first overnight stay at Kokori-an. The room had a spacious layout with a Western-style room, a Japanese-style room, and a bed area, and the bedding was very comfortable. We had an in-room bath that we could use anytime, but since check-out was at 10:00, I was a little disappointed—if it had been 11:00 or 12:00, I could have enjoyed one more relaxing soak in the morning. Dinner was a Kaga cuisine course with rich dashi and refined flavors; we were extremely satisfied. Breakfast also offered a good variety of dishes, and both my husband and I enjoyed it very much. My husband rarely gives compliments, but he said, “Let’s come again!” We were able to unwind in the hot spring for the first time in a while, and we are grateful for Kokori-an’s hospitality.

Staying at Kisshotei with my family this time was a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing, the room was clean and cozy, and the staff were all very kind. The meals and hot spring experience were excellent. My family had a wonderful stay, and it left us with great memories from this trip. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi and mobile signal were somewhat unstable, which made it a little inconvenient to use. If this can be improved in the future, the stay would be even more perfect. Overall, I highly recommend it. If I visit Yamanaka Onsen again, I would love to stay at Kisshotei again!

Everything was outstanding!! Nothing to complain about!! We will definitely stay again!! On the way home, we were already discussing when to make our next Reservation. The food in particular was truly delicious and wonderful.

The room had a wonderful view and was spacious. In the morning, we could watch the sunrise, and the lake looked absolutely beautiful. Dinner was served in a private room, so we could relax. Each dish in the three-tiered meal was delicious, and we also enjoyed the Noto beef. The shampoo bar and hair dryer bar in the bath area were great, and there was a good selection of drinks in the lounge as well. We would love to visit again.

From the moment we arrived until we departed, every moment was comfortable and truly luxurious. We were delighted with everything—the atmosphere, the room, the bath, and the meals—but above all, the attentive hospitality and thoughtful care from all of the staff made us want to return again. I am left-handed, and at dinner on the first night I moved my chopstick rest myself. Then at breakfast the next morning, my chopstick rest had been set up for a left-handed guest, which truly moved me...! Thank you so much for noticing even such a small detail.

This was my third stay. I was worried about road restrictions due to the heavy rain, but everything was fine. The meals were delicious, and there is a semi-open-air bath with a view of the fishing lights. I’m planning to visit by motorcycle next year.

I chose Haiya as my Accommodation in Awara Onsen for the first time in a year. I still remembered the layout and traditional furnishings of my previous Room (Iwashimizu), so I decided to stay here again. This time, my Room was “Choyo,” and I also loved its classic, traditional atmosphere. Best of all, the Room had an open-air bath, so I could relax and soak at my own pace and enjoy a different feel from the large public bath. As before, the meals featured plenty of locally sourced ingredients, including Wakasa beef, which I was able to savor fully. The many dishes served in tableware that evoked an autumn ambiance also showed the staff’s thoughtful attention to detail. I really like Haiya’s calm, high-quality atmosphere, and I plan to stay here again when I visit Awara Onsen next time.

We stayed here to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday. We came for the Onsen, but the meals were also delicious, and we enjoyed a quiet, relaxing stay. Thank you very much.

We had a wonderful stay. Although the building is a bit old, it was clean and comfortable. The large public bath was not crowded, and it was kept very clean with frequent cleaning. It was also great to have a ReFa shower head installed. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the grilled beef at dinner was surprisingly delicious.

We stayed here for a trip to celebrate a 60th birthday. Not only were the Onsen, Facility, and meals excellent, but above all, the hospitality and service from the staff who assisted us were outstanding. It was disappointing that we couldn’t see Mt. Tateyama due to the typhoon’s effects, but we’ve decided that next time we’ll book a Multiple Night Stay and go to see Mt. Tateyama with its remaining snow.

I’ve stayed here so many times that I’ve lost count, but this time I visited with my parents for my birthday trip. No matter when I come, the food is always satisfying, the Room is wonderful, and the Onsen leaves your skin silky smooth—nothing to complain about. Also, the light snacks in the annex lounge are exquisite, which makes me want to stay here again. They even celebrated my birthday, and it was a fantastic trip right to the end. This is an Accommodation that never disappoints no matter how many times I visit, so I’d like to keep coming back. Thank you for a wonderful trip!
