Hotel Kaibo — Hotel in Nanao

The view of the bay and Noto Island Bridge from the balcony and private onsen tub of our room (#315) and the kind service of the waitress at dinner who made sure to show us how to eat all the local seafood specialties. Dinner was in our own little private dining room in the restaurant so it was super Covid friendly and excellent food. Breakfast was huge too! If you can, splurge for a room with the private onsen tub - it’s worth it. In the room with a private onsen tub on the balcony there was also an in room sink and toilet. You sleep on futons the staff will lay out while you are eating dinner. Dinner was huge so if you aren’t big breakfast eaters maybe skip breakfast at the hotel as it’s also quite big and just grab something quick from the nearby convenience store. Our room had futonsIf you book on a Sunday - Thursday night it may be a bit cheaper rate than on a Friday or Saturday.

Wakura Onsen town is a little sleepy and a bit past it’s prime but we also visited in early June rather than the summer high season so there were few other tourists. The front desk clerk kindly gave us an English map so we explored the town a bit on foot and followed the Seven Lucky Gods Path and relaxed in some of the free foot baths. If you want a busier town and sunset views over the open ocean then stay in Wajima Onsen. Or better yet, stay in Wakura one night, drive around the tip of Noto Peninsula the next day, and stay in Wajima Onsen the second night to see both sides...
