Homestays in Toyama Prefecture, Japan

The Kurobe Hotel, located in the innermost part of the Unazuki Onsen town, was a historic and very quaint inn. There were some parts that felt old, such as the key to the room, but that would also be the taste of the inn. Also, the meals and baths were luxurious and I felt very extraordinary.

A standard Japanese hot spring hotel with weakly alkaline water. The room I booked online was 60 square meters, which was not the actual room. I could see the canyon from one corner of the room. It was probably fully booked due to the short holiday. Breakfast and dinner were buffets, with local specialties mainly Japanese and Western food.

Very distinctive banquet dinner, experienced the traditional Japanese tatami room, the hot spring is also great to enjoy.

This is our first rayon. General impressions are great!!! Very interesting experience. Staff very, very straight-a-friendly. Food is fresh seafood, rice, local soups. You can't say it is not delicious. Delicious. It's a lot of it, but after the third table like this, you want something with the pasta:)))) the room was cleaned every day. There is a transfer to the station. The view from the window is beautiful. In general a quiet place designed for resting with the soul and the body!!! Below is a photo of the hotel and the nearby locations.

Beautiful hotel (about 7 min walk to the station) and was a great Ryokan experience as the room was traditional and had a breath-taking view. Futons were sufficiently comfortable - but wished there was the whole Ryokan welcome and fanfare. Staff was welcoming but did not speak much English though they had papers of English instructions all ready. There was a free shuttle out of the hotel at fixed timings to the nearest Shinkansen (Unazukionsen Station) Onsen was relaxing and was supplied with good quality products for every aspect of grooming. Lots of vending machines were available, there was a souvenir shop on site though pricey. We just did not enjoy the corridors as it gave out a creepy vibe (due to it being an older establishment), hence, we did not enjoy moving around the hotel). Facilities were beautiful and well preserved. Food as part of the experience was a good and large helping. We opted for the full seafood experience but it had a lot of sashimi or cured seafood which was not to our own liking (we did not really know what we signed up for, really our fault!) Breakfast was a good spread and really hearty. A lot of traditional and local specialties to experience! Overall a great stay! (Shops in the vicinity closes at about 5pm and open at 10am)

Unazuki Hot Spring Hotel is expensive. The problem is that the waiter who brought in the room does not speak English and is not proficient with the hotel's translation software. As a result, we were told that dinner was in the room, and we were waiting in the room on the 13th floor. It's actually in the private room of the restaurant on the 9th floor. After a quarter of an hour after the appointed time, please ask at the front desk to know the correct way. Dinner and breakfast are good. The room is 12 folds, plus the balcony area after sealing, and the tea is in the entrance. There are special drinking water taps. The pictures of breakfast and dinner can't accommodate, it's not bad. The hot springs are very good, and the male and female outdoor baths change every morning. The scenery is beautiful.

I had a truly memorable stay at this hotel. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the staff were incredibly attentive and kind throughout my visit. The overall atmosphere gave off a wonderfully authentic Japanese vibe, which made the experience even more special. One of the highlights was the delicious traditional Japanese breakfast — beautifully prepared and full of flavor. What impressed me most was how the hotel made me feel so comfortable and welcome, almost like I was staying at a relative’s home in Japan. It’s a place I would wholeheartedly recommend, and I would love to return again in the future.

Warm welcome from all staff. They take good care for us. We really appreciate it. 💝

A very nice onsen hotel in Himi. We booked a large quiet room (no. 535) which was value for money indeed. All the rooms, onsens and the restaurant are having magificant sea and mountain view. As we visited in mid-November, we missed the snowy mountain on the postcards that will be presented to customers. Dinner was yummy. We were served by a very helpful Filipino lady who spoke fluent English which was seldom in this part of Japan.

The day before I got on the Kurobe Canyon Trolley train, I used it for consecutive nights on the day. Very cozy and nice inn. The bath was also slow, and the dog who welcomed me was very cute and healed. I'm completely tired. I will repeat it when I come to Toyama again.
