Reviews of Yamanaka Onsen Kissho Yamanaka 4 stars

Like any other excellent ryokans, Yamanaka Onsen Kissho Yamanaka is not close to Kaga station. But the lovely thing is that it provides shuttle bus services. So it was very convenient for me to visit various places around the area. The ryokan has a very spacious lounge where free drinks were offered, I had spent some time there during my stay, a very good place to read and write. The staff were great, everyone, warm and caring, that was the kind of courtesy and hospitality I expected. My room was perfect, clean, spacious and had an open view of the valley and the mountain. The hot baths, both the indoor and the outdoor ones, were excellent. I had been using the hot baths for several times and surprisingly met only few people. So I was really had the time to completely relaxing my mind and body. Finally, I was highly satisfied with the meals. The breakfast, Japanese set, was in good size and delicious. The dinners were excellent, far from my expectation and worth the value. The seafood was fresh with a good variety, from salmon, yellow tail, eel to some which I did not know their names. I fully recommended to try the teppanyaki because both the chef and the ingredients were excellent. Beef, seafood and the rice were delicious. Definitely Kissho Yamanaka would definitely be my first choice when I visit Kaga again.

None so far.

All in all highly recommendable

GOOD FOOD GOOD SERVICE GOOD LOCATION

NONE

Great food offering both breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner. Superb Japanese hospitality throughout our entire stay.

Breakfast hours end too early. Not suitable for late morning persons.

A place to relax in . All the experience exceeded my expectations. They had treats that were not mentioned in booking like panckes in the afternoon, happy hour, free juice/ tea etc , puding in the evening and even a short traditional performance The staff went out of his way to accomodate my dietry restrictions. All food served in an elegant way. The public onsen was clean and pleasant actually i had it to myself. When using the outdoor they give you a special towel to cover yourself The private onsens also were clean nice and pleasant The shuttle bus to and from kagaonsen station very convenient Overall excelent

Good service, central location, good dinner, clean onsen

Room amenities rather run down

Nice town with many shops and very walkable. Nice path to walk along the river. Great cooking lesson at Sankaido confectionery shop. Food plan provided great meals, but we would like to have had a few meals in town. Transportation to and from Kagaonsen train station was free and very convenient. Room was spacious with a nice sitting area.

Meals ( breakfast and dinner) were a bit heavy for 5 days in a row. We would have liked some lighter fare on occasion.

Nice traditional onsen with futon. Like the outdoor private and public onsen (I had it all to myself). Not too crowded. Good that there is a shuttle bus service to station. Near gorge.

Quite some distance from station. Food was average.

quality of food for dinner

Amazing ryokan located in the picturesque Yamanaka village. The staff was very professional and caring. The room was spacious, with coffee and tea sets ready to use. We enjoyed the onsen, the yukatas, the afternoon pancakes, the evening drinks, the geiko performance and everything else very much. The food was delicious, both in Kissho and in their Sister hotel (free bar and unlimited tempura there). Honestly for everything we got the price was very reasonable. We even got a special celebration with cake, drinks and gift for my husband's birthday.

Everything was great.

All the little touches eg the private onsen, the Geisha show in the evening, free coffee in lounge, lovely traditional Japanese room, traditional Japanese dress provided & the free shuttle bus to the station.

We found the breakfast a little challenging.

Everything The hotel staff Asmidah from Nepal is an absolute ⭐. She took such excellent care of us.

The hotel spoiled us with complimentary freshly made pancakes, puddings, all day free flow coffee/espresso/cappuccino, soft drinks, deserts and geisha performance. We kept relaxing in the hotel till we have no time to explore the town. We spent all our time in the hotel.

It was a classic mountain onsen, perfect.

Great Japanese breakfast. Private and public onsen fantastic. Overall package with omekaze dinner was great. A location to just lean back and enjoy
