부모도 자식도 모른다 주변 × 온천・목욕 평가가 높은호텔·료칸

All staff were courteous and greeted us with warm smiles. In the spacious lobby, kimono obi sashes were laid over the sofas, creating an elegant Hokuriku atmosphere. The open-air bath was wonderful, with naturally flowing Onsen water, and I could soak while feeling grateful for nature’s gifts. However, horseflies (Orolro) may come at times, so I used the insect spray provided. Extra caution is needed during the hot season from late July onward. On the way to the open-air bath, I was surprised to see Onsen water bubbling up from the wall and flowing down. The large public bath’s hinoki cypress tub was pleasantly lukewarm—so comfortable that I could have stayed in it forever. Being able to enjoy an Onsen that has flowed continuously for 400 years while taking in unchanged natural scenery truly felt like a luxurious moment.

I used this hotel with the Go To Travel campaign after playing at Itoigawa Country Club. After check-in, I enjoyed the sauna bath and open-air bath, and took advantage of the service that lets you have a draft beer. Dinner also included all-you-can-drink. On top of that, I left something behind, and they kindly arranged to send it to me by courier with shipping charges paid on delivery.

I stayed here the night before because I wanted to see the Kaiwo Maru under full sail. At check-in, I unexpectedly ran into a child on the stairs! And again when heading out for dinner, right in front of the bath area! My wife and I laughed and wondered if it was a “zashiki-warashi,” and it gave us a warm, cozy feeling. The food was delicious, and we were very satisfied. As for the Kaiwo Maru under full sail mentioned in the title, perhaps because the weather was bad in the morning, it wasn’t fully set—only about half of the sails were raised. It was disappointing, but we decided we’ll check another full-sail day and come again. When we do, we’d love to stay here again.

I stay here once a year around this time. Breakfast is included as a complimentary service. I absolutely love the buffet-style breakfast here. The selection is not unnecessarily large, but the dishes are simple and delicious. Highly recommended! As for other aspects, I found no negatives, so I gave it 5 stars.
