Hot Springs Hotels in Toyama Prefecture, Japan

The location is a bit out of the way, but it wasn't a problem since we were driving. Although it's an older-style inn, it was clean and tidy. There were also quite a few locals staying there. They offered snack sharing in the afternoon and evening. The most pleasant surprise was the incredibly rich breakfast. I would definitely choose this inn again next time.

A magical traditional Japanese inn. You have to wear slippers when entering the inn. The elderly are very enthusiastic and the whole village is very welcoming. I haven't experienced that kind of simplicity for a long time. There are singing and dancing performances, very delicious Sichuan fish, and a call to eat breakfast early. It feels like home.

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. All but the Kia overlook the river. We had a room with a bathroom on the terrace, a wonderful experience. The rooms are clean and spacious. The staff is very helpful and polite. The hotel itself is not new, and this is evident in some places. The shoes provided were very small for me, and I felt uncomfortable wearing them. I found the restaurant staff very noisy during dinner; someone was moving dishes in the hallway, and they were rattling loudly. The dinner was very good, and the staff's English was clear. Overall, the hotel left a positive impression, but not for the price. I think you can stay much cheaper in Hikone or Izu and get better quality.

Loved it! Even though it took a while to get there, and it's a shame it didn't snow, the hot springs inside were fantastic. There were three of them! I've stayed here before, and the staff are always so welcoming.

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.

This hotel offers incredible value for money. Hotel options in Toyama are quite limited, and while this one is a bit of a walk from Toyama Station, its location right across from Toyama Castle is fantastic – you can see it as soon as you step outside, which makes the stay quite interesting. The hotel is relatively new, with excellent facilities, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. In the evenings, there's even complimentary drinks in the lobby, which is a big plus after a day of sightseeing. Overall, I really liked it and would consider staying here again on my next visit to Toyama.
