Chirihama Hotel Yuka

We drove from Kanazawa Station by rental car, first visiting the Nanao and Wakura Onsen area before heading to Hakui. The stunning Chirihama Nagisa Driveway is right in front of the Hotel (you can even walk there!), and across the road is “Michi-no-Eki Noto Chirihama,” with plenty of local products. The Hotel offered lots of welcome services on arrival, and the all-inclusive drinks at dinner were great. The Onsen bath also had a pleasantly silky feel on the skin, so we went in many times. The next morning, when returning to Kanazawa, it was also very convenient that the Chirihama IC entrance to the toll-free Noto Satoyama Kaido expressway was right nearby.

I visited with my younger sister, and although it started snowing and I was worried, it had stopped by the time we arrived at the Accommodation. The open-air bath in the falling snow was amazing—it became a truly wonderful Onsen experience. It warmed us up from head to toe.
