Ōtomaru Station × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

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

This was our fifth stay in two consecutive years (we also visited 12 and 25 years ago, haha). The Room was clean, the meals were delicious, and we especially enjoyed the extra-ordered red ika somen. We also loved the welcome chestnut steamed yokan. We had one from a famous confectionery in Kyoto the day before, but this one suited our taste better. We bought some at the shop on our way home. Thank you very much for upgrading our Room as well. As we were leaving, the proprietress kindly said, “Please come again,” so we hope to visit again next year. Thank you very much.

This was our first time staying overnight at Kokorian. The room had a spacious layout with a Western-style room, a Japanese-style room, and a separate bed area, and the bedding was very comfortable. The bath was in the room so we could use it anytime, but since check-out was at 10:00, I felt it was a bit of a shame—if it were 11:00 or 12:00, we could have enjoyed another relaxing soak in the morning. Dinner was a Kaga cuisine course with beautifully refined flavors and rich dashi throughout; we were completely satisfied. Breakfast also offered many 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 relax in the hot springs for the first time in a while, and we are grateful for Kokorian’s warm hospitality.

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!

I had wanted to visit ever since I saw it on a travel TV show. The open-air bath attached to the Room was very spacious, and the Onsen water felt gentle and wonderful. The ayu (sweetfish) I tried for the first time this year was also very fresh, and the dishes made with local vegetables as well as the sake lees and fruit pudding were delicious. The staff member in charge of our Room was pleasant, and while we were having breakfast, they put away the futons and tidied everything up nicely, so we could relax with a cup of coffee. My husband and I are also talking about coming again in winter.

I stayed here with my sister and her husband while it was snowing heavily. The Accommodation has both a first and second floor, making it a Room layout I had never experienced before. The in-Room bath had plenty of hot water flowing continuously, which was perfect for a morning soak. The meals were also very delicious.

I stayed at this accommodation during my visit to Kanazawa. The meals were all truly delicious, with a refined taste that highlighted seasonal ingredients, leaving me deeply impressed. This small accommodation with only 7 rooms offered a very quiet and peaceful stay, and the staff's warm hospitality was exceptional. Its proximity to Kanazawa city and the tranquil surroundings allowed me to enjoy a relaxing time. I would love to visit again.

I stayed one night on my own as a man nearing 60. I used to visit from time to time, but after my divorce last year I stopped coming for a while. I decided it was time to reset and enjoy solo travel again. The parking guidance was very kind, and the proprietress’s welcome felt wonderful. The room had a private open-air bath and was very clean; although not new, it had great character and was truly relaxing. After being shown to my room, I immediately enjoyed the signature “Tanbo-no-Yu” bath. Since it was a Friday even though it was a weekday, there were many families and the place felt lively. There are several baths at different temperatures, so you easily lose track of time and end up staying longer than planned. And despite what some reviews say, there was absolutely no chlorine smell at all. The water was excellent, and even eased the pain from small cuts on my skin quite a bit—thank you. Dining is what I look forward to most when visiting Ryusenkaku. It’s always delicious: kaiseki-style creative cuisine that combines delicate dashi flavors with bold preparation, beautifully presented so you can enjoy it with your eyes as well. Some reviews mentioned that service by foreign staff is not good, but that wasn’t true at all! Meals (including breakfast) are served in private rooms, and the guidance and service were very kind and easy to understand—I could relax and enjoy everything with peace of mind. For someone traveling alone like me, it’s nothing less than blissful! “Tanbo-no-Yu” is available until 10:00 p.m., so I went again after dinner. I love “Tanbo-no-Yu” at night—the steam drifting through the spotlight makes it especially beautiful. I could soak forever. After that, I enjoyed the in-room open-air bath right up until bedtime. Again, there was no chlorine smell like some people mention. Having an in-room open-air bath you can use freely anytime without worrying about others is truly top-tier luxury! I’ve also seen comments about Wi-Fi not connecting or weak reception, but in my room there were no issues at all. In the morning I enjoyed the in-room open-air bath right up until checkout time; when I went to the front desk to check out, there was another pleasant surprise. On previous visits I hadn’t known this, but this time I learned that there is also a young proprietress (the owner’s daughter). She is incredibly beautiful—and while natural and unpretentious in her manner—exceptionally kind as well; she seemed like such a wonderful person! When seeing me off at my car she waved with a lovely smile—it made for an extremely pleasant stay overall. Now I have yet another reason to look forward to visiting Ryusenkaku! Thank you as always for such a wonderful time. I’ll be back again!

It was a very good facility. Everyone was kind, and it became a good memory of Kanazawa. Thank you very much.

What’s fascinating about Nana’s philosophy is how deliberately it reduces “information density.” Even with just a one-night stay, I could clearly feel the Accommodation’s concept: 1) No excessive signage or posters inside 2) No filling the space with background music 3) Avoiding harsh lighting 4) Minimizing digital noise as much as possible Through the space, sound, light, and service, it conveyed the idea that “silence isn’t emptiness—it’s a state where only what’s necessary remains.” The staff were outstanding from the moment I pulled into the parking area until they saw me off the next morning. I believe this reflects an intentional design by the owners (a couple): creating a place to Clear people’s senses. 5) The main focus is not “people,” but “place” and “nature” → Prioritizing “what you feel” over “who made it.” 6) A commitment to completing the Accommodation as a “work” → Only three rooms; no adding more Facility features. No indiscriminate advertising. → A mindset of “only those who understand need to come,” aligned with traditional house restoration values. You could say this is for travelers whose purpose is to feel restored and re-centered: 7) Your body resets in the Onsen 8) Your senses reset through fire and food 9) Your mind resets through satoyama landscapes and an old folk house → Redefining travel from consumption to renewal. As tools for restoration, it offers free-flowing natural hot spring water, silence, an aesthetic space, and an Accommodation with high experiential value. → Not just “staying overnight,” but a trip where something changes. Nana’s philosophy feels almost perfectly aligned—its ideas and their realization overlap naturally. Among all the places I’ve stayed in Japan over the past few years, this was the best. In other words, choosing Nana—even for just one night—as a journey to re-center my senses and experience it as a complete work turned out exactly right. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

This is a historic, long-established Onsen Ryokan, but the baths and Rooms have been renovated, so we were able to relax comfortably. The meals were also delicious, enjoyed while appreciating both mountain and seafood specialties. I would definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance.
