A bay-view inn with 130+ years of history

• 🏯Opened in 1890 (Meiji 23) in Wakura Onsen, its name means 'the inn that looks out to sea', and Nanao Bay spreads right in front of it.
• 🌅Rooms and baths look over the bay's water, islands and hills, with sunrise views over the water.
• 🔨After the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake it reopened to guests from August 2025; the other wings have been demolished and only the Zuisen wing (22 rooms) is operating.

Wakura Onsen large baths

• ♨️About 72 m³ a day (50 liters a minute) is piped from the source, one of the most generous flows in Wakura Onsen.
• 🧪Sodium-calcium chloride spring (hypertonic, weakly alkaline, high-temperature); the 89.1°C source is cooled to about 50°C by heat exchange.
• 🕒The large baths are open from 3 pm to 10 am the next morning; the sauna closed for good on October 25, 2026.

Seaside open-air baths on Nanao Bay, a generous hot spring flow and Noto seafood kaiseki are the highlights. Note that since the earthquake only the Zuisen wing (22 rooms) is open with renovations ongoing, in-room baths are not hot spring water, and room-only guests cannot use the large baths on some dates.
