Quiet Surroundings with excellent scenery

This ryokan hotel located at a quite fishing town of Himi, facing the Toyama bay. During a clear day, the view of Tateyama snow capped alps at the other side of Toyama bay, simply terrific. The service of the front desk is excellent, they go extra miles to get me a few candle for my kids birthday cake. Besides the free flow coffee & soft ice cream at designated time are excellent add on. Though the building & design was a bit old but it was well maintained & clean. The open air Onsen is small which could probably accommodate 6-7 people at anyone time but view is excellent. Will come back again for sure.

Excellent hotel

This is an excellent hotel. The room is so big and oversee the ocean. The hot spring also has the outdoor one which can oversee the ocean while you're enjoying the hot bath. Our package is including dinner and breakfast, the food is excellent and well worth the value.

Fantastic outdoor Onsen

Loved the high up outdoor Onsen with the whole bay in front of you and the spectacular mountains. Western room don't get the view so make sure you get a Japanese style room if you want it. Older hotel and our room was smokey and the bathroom was a bit smelly too but overall a good place to stay if you are driving- there's no restaurants open nearer than 15 mins drive in winter.

Nice outdoor Hot spring and nice meal~

The hotel is located at nowhere, so there is not entertainment if you wanna go out. Outdoor hot spring is facing the bay, very very nice~and the dinner is perfectly great with the price. However, the downside is the rooms are small and old, toilet smells and can't stand to stay in it. Also, towers in rooms are not satisfactory too. I would only go for hot spring and dinner, but don't recommend to stay for the night.

Hotel close to beach

Expedia description stated that hotel included restaurant and bar w/lounge. However, not available to us, since a group had booked it for the night. Luckily we had a car and had to drive to another town to find food. It was pouring rain, so not a pleasant Ryokan experience at the high price we had paid. I had requested two twin rooms, and we actually got a Japanese style room with tatami mats

（５階に宿泊）館内には、宴会場、食堂などが比較的客室に近いところにあり廊下での人目が気になる。（騒音は感じなかった）。温泉は２つあり、離れの日帰り利用可能な温泉の湯質は良かったが、日帰り客が多くて混んでいる。宿泊者向けにもう少し工夫してもらえると嬉しい。

絶景のロケーション

富山湾が一望出来るロケーション抜群の旅館でした。食事も美味しく、朝食のバイキングで海鮮丼を自分好みに作れる楽しさも有りました。 和食メインの同じレパートリーなので２泊以上泊まると飽きが来るかもしれません。 和食と洋食が1日おきに入れ替わると尚良いと感じます。

いつでも海が見える宿

3泊しました、夕食に大満足。 毎日メニューが変わり、その日の夕食が楽しみでした。 朝飯はバイキングであり、朝から海鮮と贅沢ですが、朝メニュー変わりませんので3泊すると洋食が食べたくなります。 ロビーは広く、込み合う感じは無し。 部屋も清潔。 お風呂も広く清潔で眺めも良く、どこからでも海が見れる宿です。
