Hotels near Katayamazu

Situated in Kaga town. Nightly Taiko performance is great. Lovely traditional onsen and rooms.

Special Service and hospitality

The staff were wonderful. So welcoming and friendly. We appreciate the morning and afternoon snacks provided by the hotel. Love the spacious common area.

The hotel was huge and the staff were very hospitable, extremely polite and helpful. Very good amenities in the hotel but may not be as accessible via public transport.

Although hotel is old, but well maintained. Room is big for 3 persons. Our room have a very good view of the Japanese Alps.

The room was very spacious and had beautiful views of the city. The location was close to local onsens and a lot of restaurants. The bath is very nice!

The staff are very friendly at the desk. Of all the hotel and ryokan we stayed on this 12 days trip this is the only ryokan that truly provide service right from the start , even before complete our check in. They first start off in offering to park the car for us and greet us at the parking lot. Our foot not even at their door yet! Remember this is not some kind of 6 or 7 stars hotel, they even help us take our luggages back to our room. And our futons are already in placed for us to ready to sleep as we asked for late check in and arrived past 10pm. The public bath comes with outdoor onsen , and the whole place looks very new. Especially the area where you dry your hair. Love the Panasonic hair dryer they let the guest use. We end up looking at electronic store after but unfortunately don't have it in the voltage for overseas use. P.S. truly feel the strength of an old hotel trying to strive for growth and survive during harship. I don't like some online reviews saying they feel they got negative feelings about staying in this place as the nearby hotels are vacant and shut down , probably no business due from covid in the past couple years. This hotel renovated their facility , the room we stayed at got toilet renovated, the whole toilet is in sparkling clean state. And they got a new wing budiling fully refurbished with nicer room decor which I saw on the booking.com website. Of course comes in higher prices. But the Japanese style room we see them got wallpaper replaced so it wasn't so dull. The door even it was in old door frame but they switched to card access on their lo cks. Not all ryokan has it. Of the few I stayed on this trip only this one got card access. The other ones all still use those bulky key chain with keys to enter. In the area , got many other few nicer and pricey options. If feeling staying in a ryokan that is next to an empty abundant hotel is a concern to you , then is your problem.

We had an exciting, wonderful one-night stay at this beautiful and luxury Ryokan hotel, which is situated directly on the seaside with a marvelous sight on the sea and the Japanese Alps in the background, directly from our room and from the traditional hot Onsen bath (open the whole night!). The dinner and the breakfast in your private “séparée” were extraordinary, Japanese kitchen at it’s best, and the personal of this family-run Ryokan was extremely friendly and accommodating. They have also a bus shuttle from Kagaonsen railway station, which is a stop of the new Shinkansen prolongation opened only in March 2024

Overall it was a good experience. Service wasn’t overdone, which as a guest makes it more comfortable. Food was fantastic.
