Hot Springs Hotels in Toyama Prefecture, Japan

This hotel offers incredible value for money, and the room was very comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience – the kind of place you don't want to leave. The only downside is the inconvenient location; it's a bit out of the way, so getting around would be a hassle without a car. I'd recommend driving or pre-booking a taxi. The surroundings are very quiet, perfect for those not in a rush and looking for a peaceful night's rest. I'd love to come back again, but definitely by car next time.

It is a historic accommodation But the place is kept clean. The taste of the two meals is also very good and rich. It is only a 20-minute drive from Shirakawa-go. If you are unable to book a hotel in Shirakawa-go, Staying at this hotel is also recommended.

Location: About a 15-minute walk from Toyama Station. There's a convenience store, the Daiwa department store, and the Toyama Prefectural Library (Glass Museum) nearby. Overall, it's very convenient. Cleanliness: First, you need to take off your shoes when you enter. The entire hotel's hallways and guest rooms are covered in tatami mats, which is a dream for those who love tatami. The bathroom floor is made of bamboo strips, which feels much better than tiles. Every morning, you can see staff meticulously cleaning the common areas, which was a great experience. (They don't clean your room during extended stays, so be aware if that's an issue for you.) Facilities: There's a public hot spring with a large pool and sauna (also open to day visitors, but closed for cleaning from 10 AM to 3 PM). If you don't like public baths, you can enjoy a private soak in the small wooden tub in your room anytime, which is fantastic – it's like getting a private onsen experience at an economy price. The ice cream, yogurt, and massage chairs on the second floor are also a huge plus. Dining: Since I stayed for several days, I booked a room without breakfast. If you decide you want breakfast on any given day, you can just go to the restaurant, swipe your card, and pay when you leave (2500 JPY per adult per meal). It's highly recommended if you love fresh seafood, offering Toyama's 'three treasures' (squid, white shrimp, and tiny rolls), as well as various sashimi and roe for you to create your own seafood bowl. Even for someone like me who doesn't eat much seafood, there were plenty of options like fried dishes, bread, and refreshing watermelon. Overall, I highly recommend this chain onsen hotel.

Five-star rating all around! I was a bit worried the 2019 renovation might feel old, but it absolutely doesn't – everything feels very new. They offer a pick-up service from the train station, or it's just a 300m walk. Inside the hotel, there are English-speaking staff, making communication a breeze. The buffet dinner was also good. There aren't many dining options on the hot spring street; besides one BBQ place, it's mostly set menus and ramen, so the hotel buffet is a better choice. For lunch, I recommend the cafe by the entrance; both the cakes and drinks were delicious. Since we visited in winter, we didn't book the scenic train, but we did go to the ski resort, which was perfect for kids. The foot bath next to the train station was super hot and incredibly relaxing. This is a great place to stay for two nights.

The hotel is very conveniently located. Everyone but Kia is coming out on the river. We had a room in the bathroom on the terrace, it's a great experience. The rooms are clean and spacious. The staff is very helpful and polite. The hotel itself is no longer new and you can see it from places. The shoes offered were very small to me and I felt uncomfortable with her sock. I thought the staff at the restaurant during dinner was very noisy, someone carried dishes in the corridor and she was very ripping( The dinner was very good and it was clear that the staff was explained in English. In general, the hotel left a positive impression, but not for such money. I think it is possible to live much cheaper in Hikone or Izu and with better quality.

1. Room was spacious for 3 people. Staff was friendly. 2. Dinner and breakfast were good. I tried to contact the hotel in advance to try to specify certain food requirements using Trip.com messaging system but the message was not conveyed. So I suggest to call the hotel directly. I spoke with the staff before dinner and we managed to figure something out. 3. Hotel is accessible by ferry only. If you miss the ferry to the hotel, you will have to take the next available ferry. 4. There were 3 public baths available and I like the options. 5. We had to take a train, a bus, and a ferry to reach the hotel. It was a memorable experience, but I won't do it again if I am bringing my elderly mom. The bus and ferry were crowded and busy when we went.

The staff were all very polite, kind, and generally wonderful. The amenities were great, and the room was clean. The hot spring was also very pleasant. If I had to point out one thing, it would be the dressing room in the hot spring. When I sat down to dry my hair, my eyes were drawn to the gap between the sink and the counter below, and I noticed some dust had accumulated there. The corners of the walls also had some dust. Since everything else was so clean, it was a bit disappointing. I would definitely like to stay here again.

The environment is beautiful; the room overlooks a miniature train passing by, and the lush green mountains are very pleasant. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I will definitely choose this place again next time. The only downsides are that the breakfast could be improved, and I wanted to contact the hotel beforehand to discuss dinner reservations, but I didn't know how to find the reservation point. Any improvements would be greatly appreciated. 👍

Nice Japanese breakfast. Strategic location to get around Gokayama and Shirakawa. In front of the hotel is the biggest Gassho style house in Japan that has a long history of being owned by samurais and where the emporia family had visited many times and is considered a cultural heritage of Japan.. I would go back to this hotel because of its location.

A new hotel and the facility is very good. Just that it is around 1km away from JR station and it makes you feel longer with the traffic night. The castle museum is opposite but there isn't too much to see. The hotel provides welcome drinks and you can drink sake and eat there, somehow it turns into a social area which is fun. Breakfast is simple but very good as it is free. Laundry only cost 200 yen and drying is free.
