"It was a wonderfully unique experience to stay at this Japanese hotel with a private onsen bath in our room. I would recommend staying at least 2 nights as it is in a remote location 40 min from downtown Kanazawa. They have a free shuttle to and from Kanazawa that you need to organize with the hotel. The multi-course Japanese breakfast in a private room was a treat. The staff was very responsive and helpful despite not speaking much English.

This is very much an onsen experience with built in breakfast and dinner. It forces you to slow down, which is exactly what you need. The breakfast and dinner timings can be a little prescriptive but understandable given that all guests must be accommodated. The onsen is beautiful and the overall setting is beautiful. The pick up/drop service from the local bus stand is a wonderful perk.

Probably one of the best stays of my life. The stag was absolutely amazing, from start to finish. The attention to detail is impeccable, whilst not overwhelming. The room was wonderful, and the dinner and breakfast experiences magic. Overall, for the price of what would be a normal room in Tokyo, you get an outstanding experience. Lots of surprises, such as the massage chairs and public baths (all rooms seem to have a private onsen, ours certainly did. Our room was 4 different rooms (dinning...

Amazing stay - couldn’t recommend more. The staff are incredibly attentive and helpful, the hotel is set in a beautiful location and the entire experience is flawless. The food is excellent as well, although it’s worth noting that both the dinner and breakfast are very generous meals - best not to eat too much beforehand!
Thank you so much to all of the staff - we had a wonderful time with you and hope to see you again soon!

Lovely setting, large communal lounge with wood burning stove. No en suite facilities, toilets on galleries off the stairs leading up to bedrooms. Washbasins and bathrooms also on galleries above lounge. Bathrooms are Japanese style with dressing rooms and shower/bathroom next door. Baths are deep double style with jacuzzi type jet circulating water - a great experience after a long day walking around Takayama!

Really positive experience. Staff were excellent. Never did find the free coffee that was advertised (and would have made things truly perfect) but overall this was a delightful, peaceful stay.

In a holiday full of excellent hotels this one felt like a standout stay - a cute little building not far from the station (and, more importantly, the fish market, with genuinely lovely staff and excellent amenities. We arrived quite early, too early to check in, and were given a drink and told about the hotel before leaving our bags to explore. The room was delightful, a good size, a well stocked fridge of complementary drinks, a unit to dry clothes as part of the shower and a comfortable bed....

Bright room colours.
Good choices at breakfast buffet.
Walking distance to the market and main sights.
Kanazawa train station is just 15 minutes walk.
There is a ramen restaurant 2 min walk called Ramen Mikoshi
中華蕎麦 御輿 which is excellent.

It is the perfect spot to explore Takayama and surroundings. Modern, well located, and with an on-site onsen! The room was a bit smaller than we expected but it was very comfortable for 2 people.

Can book 45-minute private onsen every day. Hotel restaurant reasonably priced. Hida folk village 8mins away on foot. Bus stop to main station 4mins away on foot with bus ride to station about 10mins. Friendly staff.

Lovely clean hotel with a spacious room. We parked in the public car park opposite 1000 yen for 24 hr. Easy walk into town and markets etc. Enjoyed the breakfast. Helpful staff

Slightly old world hotel with old fashioned decor but that's quite nice from the usual modern hotels. The onsen was good. Sauna was excellent too, especially having a TV to watch while sweating away.
Breakfast was good too.
It's great that the staff are attentive at breakfast but almost too much, hovering around and almost getting in the way.
My only small request is that Japanese hotels all seem to say breakfast served 0700h to 1000h for example but actually start to close down 30 min or so...
