The room was spacious and the facilities were clean and nice. The bathroom was also very comfortabele with a nice onsen bath.

The couple working at the Onsen were wonderful and stayed open late as we were travelling from Kurobe. The onsen itself was clean and just what we needed. Thank you very much!

Clean, efficient, great price. Loved the "light meal" addition.

A perfect stay at this Onsen hotel. Facilities are good with comfortable onsen bath, the outdoor one is excellent. We love the free drinks provided during the day as well as after the onsen bath. The breakfast and the dinner breakfast are great! We love the yukata provided-there are more than six choices for women and I could wear a different one everyday. The room is spacious with friendly staff.

very clean and beautiful, dinner and breakfast were elaborate and tasty!

In this ever changing, chaotic and even crazy world, I admire a well-run family business (small or large) which passes on from generation to generation, like the Tanakaya (since 1911). My wife and I have one of the five larger rooms with superb views of the Japanese garden with architectural and water features (charming with the new snow cover). The included Kaiseki dinner (delicious, sumptuous, but not too elaborate or overly filling) and breakfast are served not in our room but in a separate and private dinner room, which we like. The clear-water onsen is not huge and indoor only, but has full glass panels facing a small bamboo grove in the garden. Old-fashioned warm and attentive service attitudes prevailed. A mature lady of the 4th generation greeted us when we arrived, another of the 5th generation briefed us, and a third lady was assigned to take us to our room, serve us dinner and breakfast and prepare our beddings. All three of them waited for us when we checked out, and followed our small shuttle bus as it drove out to the parking lot and onto the road to wave us goodbye despite the snow and cold weather. We saw members of the 6th generation chatting and playing in the lounge just before dinner the evening before, while we were viewing the manuscripts and books of a poet (also a member of the family) in a display room near the reception, I wish the traditions of excellence and service of this small ryokan (and many others) will continue to be passed on to the next generations.

Excelent location and very large and clean room.

The staff were very kind and they welcomed us very warmly. They assisted us with everything we needed. The view from the rooms was incredible and breakfast was delicious and had many options. An experience we definitely recommend!
