Waraku Onsen Nihon No Yado Notoraku

The breakfast was fresh and delicious, especially the crab tempura and rice, and the fresh pineapple for fruit. The room was spacious enough, and the bathroom was particularly roomy, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. The downsides were: 1. The central air conditioning and fan clearly had a lot of mold buildup that hadn't been cleaned; 2. The air conditioner was quite noisy, and when it was on, my eyes would hurt, but it was cold when off, and the room felt a bit stuffy, so I had to open the window intermittently.

The hotel is really great; I never expected to get this level of hot spring hotel for this price. They offer a shuttle service from the station to the hotel, and if you don't speak Japanese, you can ask Ctrip customer service for help with reservations.

It was a very nice inn and I felt comfortable. I heard that it had been repaired following damage caused by the Noto Peninsula earthquake, but there were still cracks inside the building, which gave a vivid impression of the damage caused by the earthquake. Even without that, the view was beautiful. In particular, the view of Nanao Bay and Noto Island on the opposite shore from my room was beautiful. I also had the buffet for both dinner and breakfast, and the food was delicious and amazing. Due to work commitments, I only stayed one night, but when I left the inn I was so sad that I wished I could have stayed longer.

The architecture is magnificent, and the service is professional and enthusiastic. The hot spring itself doesn't have much of a flavor. The main building has good heating and facilities, but the Nodoya annex, although on a higher floor, is too cold due to insufficient heating.

Due to the earthquake, the surrounding area is deserted with few attractions. While the hot springs were very relaxing, the women's section was too small. The hotel staff provided excellent service, which I appreciated, and the food was also good.

The rooms in the annex are small, as is the hot spring bath. The hot spring bath in the main building is large, but the view isn't great, and the breakfast is average. The supermarket and Matsumoto Kiyoshi store across from the hotel are large and inexpensive.

The hotel is about 15 minutes' walk from the 🚉 station, and the hotel can provide free pick-up and drop-off. We made an appointment with Ctrip's butler in advance, which was very convenient. The hotel also has some waiters who can speak English, so there is no big problem in communication. The room is Japanese style, probably because it is a bit old, but it does not affect the seaside scenery. The hotel is self-service at night, and basically all Japanese tourists line up in an orderly manner to get things. There are not many categories, but it is definitely enough to fill you up. ♨️Men and women are on different floors, and the scenery for women is better. I don't know if it is because of the earthquake last year, the ♨️ pavilion on the higher floors is not open, and the beautiful scenery cannot be seen (of course, it also requires extra payment) There are convenience stores around, and it only takes 2-3 minutes to go out to buy something to eat. Next to it is a park where you can soak your feet in hot springs, but it is a pity that it is not open because it is still under maintenance after the earthquake.

We used this hotel for a special family trip. When we informed them in advance, they even upgraded our room on the day. We were very satisfied with everything from the luxurious facilities to the large open-air bath overlooking the ocean and the delicious food! We would definitely use this hotel again!

The stay was very comfortable, the hot springs were top-notch, and the hotel as a whole was very large.
