Our experience was lovely! We stayed two nights. The staff was so accomodating--it was our first experience at a traditional ryokan, and the staff was very helpful in explaining various customs. They made us feel very at home. The free shuttle to and from the station was very convenient and easy to reserve. The check-in and check-out processes were easy and pleasant as well, with matcha and sweets provided at check-in as an opportunity to rest and look out on the garden. Our room was gorgeous, with a stunning view of the mountains, and sleeping on the tatami was extremely comfortable. We reserved the private onsen both nights of our stay (for a small fee) and that was also a simple and convenient process. Finally, breakfast was amazing--all of the numerous dishes were delicious and beautifully prepared. Overall, it was a truly magical experience staying at Houshi Ryokan. We left this morning and already want to go back! ありがとうございました!

Traditional Ryokan with Onsen
This is an amazing place, and if you stay as a family where some of you would like to visit an onsen, this hotel provides a great opportunity to stay in a traditional Ryokan with Onsen facilities. You will also get a lift to and from the station if you get in touch with the hotel beforehand. There is a lovely walk to some shrines nearby. The traditional breakfast is also a great experience.

We wanted to experience a traditional Japanese room for the night, and we felt like we did! The staff at the hotel were very helpful. Onsen was clean, nice and relaxing.

A one star hotel for a five star price
I was so disappointed in this hotel. The pictures look amazing! But they only apply to the rooms on the first floor. The rest of the hotel is run down and smells bad. I felt like I was paying a five star price for a one star hotel. If you want to say that you stayed in one of the oldest hotels to check off of your bucket list, then stay here. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. This was not the Japanese experience I thought I was paying for.

1300 year old Hotel
This 46th generation owned Ryokan has an amazing history & a wonderful onsen! The outdoor bath is serene and blissful. The overall condition of the hotel however is in a bit of disrepair. Worth every penney for the experience - but the hotel is a bit tired. Room however was very good and traditional Japenese breakfast a reare experience.

The 1300 years old hotel
A really amazing hotel that gives you the tradition of Japan. It's been running since 1300 years and own by the same family since it's opening. All the chambers seems to have a view on the inner garden, which is absolutely beautiful and the view of the night sky in the onsen is also great. The only little "bad" thing is that none of the staff speaks english. So be prepared to mimic a lot :)!

Tired Ryokan
Having read the reviews I was really looking forward to our 2 night stay. Staying at one of the world's oldest hotels with all the tradition - excellent! However the reality was that the ryokan was in desperate need of an upgrade, the room was enormous but it was tired and had big cracks in the sink, water stains in the bath and just not great. We didn't book dinner and therefore were not offered dinner on our first night. All the catering facilities were closed (the on site pub never opened whilst we were there). The ryokan had the feeling of a once very popular and grand venue, but had fallen on hard times. Also despite free wifi being advertised in all rooms, there was none. Only in reception area. Annoying. Despite all this the staff were friendly and the spa facilities very, very nice. On checking out despite asking for help, none was given with our bags and despite about 8 staff all bowing and saying good bye, not one of them helped with our luggage. All in all, I won't be returning nor recommending it.

1300년 역사의 흔적은 어디에.. 평범하고 산만한 료칸
결제단계에서 서비스 이용료 및 세금 명목으로 추가 금액이 굉장히 많이 붙네요. 호텔닷컴에 문의하니 료칸이 가져가는 돈이랍니다. 그럼 처음부터 그 가격을 제시하지.. 상술인지 뭔지, 좀 이해가 안되고 기분이 나빴습니다. 하여간 1300년된 료칸이 궁금해 일단 결제하고 이틀을 묵어보니, 1300년의 흔적을 담은 고풍스러움이나 깊이를 느낄만한 부분은 없습니다. 작은 정원 주위로 구관과 신관이 빙 둘러싼 형태의 좀 낡고 산만한, 그저 평범하고 무난한 료칸이었습니다. 정 1300년된 료칸이 궁금하다면 하루정도 머물면 적당하고요. 고마츠에 훨씬 시설 좋고 가성비 좋은 료칸이 많으니 잘 찾아보시고 묵기를 추천합니다.

Perfect japanese retreat
The stay at Houshi was delightful! The straff managed to forsee every possible need and were so polite and warm. Our room was big and comfortable. Sure, the place has not been refurbished recently but that really is not an issue. Everything feels authentic. We had the traditional dinner and breakfast which I would highly recommend for a chance to try some genuine japanese food. The onsen was lovely for relaxation.

The best experience in Gomatsu
They are absolutely kind. When we arrived at Kagaonsen station, he came to us and picked me up to Ryokan. It was so comfortable. We added dinner and family bath. The dinner was so delicouse and family bath was also very nice. The most impressive thing was the tea ceremony. I am very satisfied with my experience in Ryokan.

Excellent rapport qualité/prix
Excellent séjour: hôtel confortable et très propre; chambre spacieuse; repas copieux et délicieux; excellente hospitalité, etc. Je suis arrivé avant le check-in et ai pu y déposer mes affaires. On m'a demandé où je comptais aller en attendant, et comme je comptais me rendre au village culturel Yunokuni no Mori: on m'a donné un billet d'entrée (en plus de me suggérer d'autres lieux à proximité)! Il y a divers lieux intéressants dans les environs (notamment le temple Natadera), etc. Dans l’hôtel, il y a bien sûr un onsen (3 bains intérieurs et 1 extérieur). Et puis il y a aussi le plaisir de séjourner dans un hôtel en service depuis 1300 ans, et toujours géré par la même famille! C'est très rare; et en prenant ça en compte: le séjour est plutôt bon marché, en fait! Sur le départ, je suis tombé par hasard sur la propriétaire - qui a appelé son père, avec qui j'ai longuement discuté autours d'un café, puis d'un autre: personne super intéressante et très humble. Au départ, j'ai profité d'une navette gratuite pour la gare de Kaga Onsen! Excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Very pleasant stay and enjoyed kind welcome of the staffs. I expected this place is located a very remote area with full of natural sight. However, it is surrounded by villages, so I could not enjoy the scenic view from this hotel.
