Places to Stay in Kaga

The hotel was right beside the train station …

The Yamanaka Onsen Kagari Kisshotei was the perfect place to unwind after traveling Japan for almost 2 weeks. The location was beautiful and so serene, alongside the river. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay. When I forgot to notify them that our daughter was a vegetarian prior to arriving, they made sure to accommodate with her breakfast and dinner meals were just as delicious as ours. The food was a work of art and the it was a pleasure to relax in their onsens prior to returning home. I highly recommend staying here!

I can not give enough praise to the facilities, the staff and the overall experience! What an extraordinary experience!!

Great place to relax! The hotel is beautiful, with plenty of nature around. The onsens are open all day too, so you can always take a relaxing bath. Hotel also had convenient facilities such as a washing machine and a vending machine room, which is great given their isolated location. The food from the restaurant was great too!

The staff are really nice and welcoming. There are some inner activities like table tennis and karaoke. The public bath is nice. The hotel's backyard is nice with a beautiful view of the lake. Parking is free. There are plenty of vending machines.

Yukai Resort Saichoraku had great baths, beautiful facility, clean rooms, and a fun game room including ping pong. It was a five minute walk to a grocery store. It was also a 5 minute walk to the town bathhouse, shrine, and main area for their Shobu Festival.

Food was amazing, facilities really nice.

A wonderful hotel located in the mountains and is a 5 mins drive from town center. The hotel lobby and my hotel room look out into the mountains, and the views are breathtaking. The hotel has several outdoor and indoor onsens, and because its water is directly drawn from the hot springs nearby, it is very popular with the local Japanese guests. The hotel is fairly large but retains a serene and cozy atmosphere. The breakfast and dinner is a perfect addition to my stay. Food is delicious and service is warm. Staying at this hotel and visiting the nearby town reminds me of my first visit to Kyoto 20+ years ago- a tranquil beautiful place not spoiled by over- tourism.

Exceptionally nice staff, very nice onsen

The staff they are all helpful and the food is so good especially the crab and seafood, definitely coming back.

We had a great time at the dinner and breakfast buffets, and the view from the outdoor onsen (had indoor and outdoor components) was lovely; great watching the gorge flow by on a rainy spring day. The host didn't speak English but had prepared a little sheet with all major information we needed on it, and was very willing to communicate with us through Google Translate to answer any questions we had!

The highlight of our trip! The hosts were very welcoming and responsive. They have made a magical home in the hills here, beautifully nestled beside the forest and farm fields (and our young daughter was convinced Totoro was in the trees). The traditional building itself was amazing to see and it has been restored with so much love. The location is ideal. It’s a short drive to places like Yamanaka and grocery stores are easily accessible while also feeling very far away. The amenities were great. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. The bathroom was great. I particularly loved that there was a toddler sized toilet and low sinks for our daughter. The futon beds were the most comfortable of our entire trip. They were so plush and we slept well with the heaters on during our late autumn stay. And there was plenty of bedding and toys and equipment for my baby too! I think they have done something really wonderful by making this home and community in the hills!

The staff were exceptional, and the location and facilities were fantastic. Dinner was generous and delicious.
