Hotel 2-Star di Toyama Prefecture, Japan

The service is very good, the proprietress is Taiwanese, helping us a lot, but the room facilities are old, the room is dark, the public bath is small, and it is better to soak in your own room.

Had a friendly welcome in this good value ryokan guesthouse, which seemed more peaceful compared to the large hotel catering to big tours opposite. Was given a spacious private tatami room with a hot water kettle, retro TV and a private wash sink. Ample female/male shared toilets per level and a public bath for showers at the lower floor. Half board meals are taken in the dining room which had a beautiful view of Toyama city and the bay - I felt lucky to witness a beautiful sunset at dinner time. Dinner was pretty good but the breakfast set was a little underwhelming in terms of choice. They could cater to my seafood-only dietary requirements but needed reminders at breakfast the next morning. Every night if the skies are clear enough, the owner/staff arrange a nice stargazing activity and you can try snow shoe-hiking for free in the day. (The snow still hasn't melted off the boardwalks in the Midagahara alpine marshlands in end-May.) The alpine bus conveniently drops off right outside the ryokan on both directions but does not stop to pick up passengers ad-hoc. For pick ups, you will need to book a departure time with the hotel staff during check-in.

A magical traditional Japanese inn. You have to wear slippers when entering the inn. The elderly are very enthusiastic and the whole village is very welcoming. I haven't experienced that kind of simplicity for a long time. There are singing and dancing performances, very delicious Sichuan fish, and a call to eat breakfast early. It feels like home.

This hotel is a perfect place for our one day stay. And one of the best things at this hotel is a very generous number of amenities provided to guests - bath pads, body sponge, toothbrush kit, and many others. Even though the location is a bit far from Toyama JR station, it’s not hard to find, and it’s quite walkable from the station. The lady at the reception was super nice. She reminded us of what Japanese are really like. If I get a chance to visit his tower again in the future, I would definitely come back to this hotel. 

Very good. The scenery is beautiful The hot spring is very comfortable The service is also very good The room is large and comfortable Clean and hygienic Thank you for the hospitality I will come again if I have the chance, but it is too difficult to book a room Thank you

The front desk staff were super friendly! I accidentally booked a smoking room, but they kindly helped me switch to a non-smoking one. They offer free ramen in the evenings, and there's complimentary whiskey, red wine, and ice cream in the lobby – I couldn't resist having ice cream twice, haha. The location is really convenient; Toyama isn't very big, so you can easily walk to a few famous attractions. If you're visiting Toyama Castle, definitely pop over to the city hall's observation deck for a panoramic view of Toyama, the distant snow-capped mountains are absolutely stunning.

Mixed feeling about this … it’s a walk from the jr station in the center of the red light district, cheap accommodation, no big deal … but first room the WiFi signal was bad, staff was helpful and changed to another room, again later on the WiFi was not useable, surely the manager knows about it , was planning to stay extra nights but was not possible, next morning manager rely the apologies and room fee was refunded

Nice Japanese breakfast. Strategic location to get around Gokayama and Shirakawa. In front of the hotel is the biggest Gassho style house in Japan that has a long history of being owned by samurais and where the emporia family had visited many times and is considered a cultural heritage of Japan.. I would go back to this hotel because of its location.

First time trying glamping and totally new accommodation! This resort is by the beach and includes sumptuous bbq dinner! Good for 4 people with individual bed in room with all amenities except tv which is totally fine. It also has onsen tickets to nearby hot spring which is great!! Highly recommend when in Toyama if you drive! Very good service and friendliness by host! 👍👍

Staff friendly, breakfast has been made early on request. Not very clean in the bathroom, and at night the ventilation in my room was ventilated but it is normal to stay for 1 night. Beauty and towels are clean! There is a microwave, a teapot and a refrigerator in the common zone. Go from the hotel on foot 20 minutes to the Tateyama station. Breakfast is delicious and satisfactory, and there are beautiful female portraits in the hotel)
