A Uniquely Japanese Experience
Reviewed By Sangetsu03My wife wanted to take her mother somewhere special to celebrate her birthday, and decided that the Kagaya would be a great place. The Kagaya is located in Ishikawa prefecture, which is well off the beaten path for non-Japanese, which makes it different from those hotels in the larger cities which nowadays are often full of foreign tourists. There are numerous ways to access the Kagaya, you can get there by air and/or train, the hotel offers bus transportation to and from the train station. We decided to come by car from Tokyo, which took around 6 hours. The Kagaya is located in Ishikawa prefecture in the Wakaru area, which has been a hot spring resort area since the first hotels were built in the area in the 19th century. There are several of these hotels still in operation in the area, but the Kagaya is the largest and most highly rated. The Wakaru area has been in decline since the economic collapse in the early 90's, and was hit rather hard by the financial crisis in 2010, but the natural beauty of the area, and the hot springs have continued to draw visitors from around Japan, and, should it become better known, to visitors from around the world. The hotel is an impressive structure with two towers containing numerous traditional Japanese rooms. These are available in various types and sizes, and many offer amazing views of the bay. The rooms are traditional, with tatami floors, cedar walls and ceilings, and some have both the low and standard tables for meals. The rooms are fully equipped with the usual amenities. The rest of the hotel features all the things you find in a large Ryokan resort, there are lots of stores and shops, selling food, drinks, snacks, souvenirs, and even high quality traditional Japanese goods. The architecture and design are spectacular, and give you an idea of what Japan was like at its economic height. Being a Ryokan hotel, each room is assigned a maid/server, who cleans the room and serves the meals. The room rate includes dinner and breakfast, which are spectacular. Japan is a country which is famous for food, and the better Ryokan resorts offer the best of the best, served fresh, or even cooked in front of you in your room. The meals are beautiful to look at, and delicious to eat. Besides the food, the next big attraction are the hot springs, which are fed with water from natural underground sources. The water is rich in minerals, and is very therapeutic for things like sore muscles or skin problems. I used to scoff about the efficacy of hot spring water (onsen water), but have since found that it is very relaxing, and leaves the skin very soft. The Kagaya has the usual onset facilities, do a little research about public bath etiquette before venturing into the public onsen. If you feel a little self conscious about taking a bath with a room full of strangers, the hotel rooms have their own onsen water tubs, which are deep and roomy enough to relax. There are some parks and places you can visit on food in the area, you can find walking guides in the hotel lobby. There are a couple of nearby shrines which are interesting sightseeing spots. If you are adventurous, you can explore the abandoned Naoki Hotel, which is the rather spooky-looking building west of the Kagaya. But you don't really need to leave the hotel, there are numerous things to enjoy inside, including live entertainment in the evening. The hotel offers spa treatments, massages, there are several small restaurants and drinking places, not to mention a large lounge with a wonderful bay view. The garden outside offers a good place to stroll after a big meal, and you can see the machinery which supplies the hotel, local businesses, and even homes with hot spring water from underground. There are several outdoor hot springs in which you can soak your feet, or in the case of the hotter springs, boil eggs. I recommend the Kagaya hotel to people who want to experience what was (and is) popular with Showa-era Japanese, and which is a place not well known or often visited by non-Japanese touriss.

Go for seaview room
Reviewed By Tigger211The hotel looks a bit old but it's well equipped. I've got a room with open sea view; it's so refreshing. Food is plentiful and staff though speak limited English, they are very helpful and courteous!! The Hotel offered shuttle bus service to Wakura-onsen station. I joined a one-day local tour the following day, they were able to take me to the bus station i.e. the meeting point for the local tour early in the morning. A special thanks Kusano-san for arranging a good room for me and my mum!

A very traditional ryokan
Reviewed By Aba1968Wakura Onsen is the place for ryokans and onsens. I ended up here by chance as it was the only room i could find in the area during a long weekend. It is a very big ryokan, traditional as it can be (staff welcoming and waving goodbye, yukatas in the room, tatami and futon sleeping etc.) but lacking some key elements. In a very hot Japanese summer, the air condition was not strong enough and despite the kind nakaisan who brought me an electric fan, it was too hot in the room to either stay or even sleep. I had to insist for them to bring the breakfast in the room (despite the fact that this is what is typically done). They do not speak a lot of English but the reception staff at least tried to give some recommendations and did so with a very smiley face. The real highlight of the visit was the view from my room: it was in the top floor and i could see the bay and tranquil waters, really beautiful!

Luxureous, Original, Exclusively Japanese = a Must Stay
Reviewed By dancing-freakExclusively Japanese. This goes for the food, the bed (futon if a Western bed is not reserved), boiling hot-42 deg C-spa (shower is mandatory before you dip, naked and with a little white towel folded up and laid down on top of your head, genders separated). This was the only place in Japan were I spoke English to the guy next to me and he Japanese to me and still we understood each other.

Pretty good
Reviewed By AlvinCKDrove from Kanazawa. Very accessible hotel. Allocated the 9th floor facing the bay (all rooms face the bay). Chose the buffet package. Substantial but not the highest food quality (what to expect from buffet). The onsen was a little underwhelming considering its an onsen town. The public one at Soyu is better with more variety. Overall, not bad.

Very nice hotel as a stop over!
Reviewed By Jumpcl100Stayed at this hotel in passing - part of a group tour. The hotels have several wings. No wifi at the older parts. U can get wifi @ the hotel lobby. I did not attend the hot baths but I hear it was great! The service is GREAT! Dinner was very good. We had their package of traditional dinner. Definitely a lot of food & tasty! Lots of beautiful floral arrangements, the decorations were very nice. Very large hotel! The rooms seems a little worn but still very comfortable. Definitely a nice place to stay.
