Tadaya Ryokan — Hotel in Nanao

The original plan is to arrive Wakura Onsen by limited express train at 4:08PM. Due to snow storm , no train service between Fukui City and Kanazawa. Tourist information office staff told us to get on a bus from Fukui City to Komatsu Airport and take Komatsu Airport bus to Kanazawa, then change to regular train (limited express train not running) to Wakura Onsen (presumably arriving at 8:50PM). She is very kind to call Tadaya on our behalf that we would arrive late. Tayada said that it would be too late for formal dinner but will try to get us food.||Upon arrival of Komatsu Airport, the snow storm was so fierce that even the bus ticket vending machines which are installed outside the terminal building had to be covered to avoid damages caused by the snow. Surprisingly, found limited express train started running on arrival of Kanazawa train station. Asked tourist information staff to call Tadaya again so they could pick us up at 8:15PM instead of 8:50PM. There were no more than half a dozen passengers on the train which had probably 6 cars (total 7 passengers got off the train at Wakura Onsen Station||and 6 of them are from our group). Tadaya sent a van to pick us up. The drive to the hotel is approx. 5-6 minutes, and we were rushed into the dining room almost immediately after check-in. The dinner which contained so many courses (food is good particularly the beef) took abt 2 hrs to finish (we fully understand why they don't want to serve the dinner if we arrive the hotel after 9PM). Requested for a late check-out as we checked in so late. Front desk staff refused initially but agreed after a manager standing nearby nodded his head. so we were allowed to check out at 11AM instead of 10AM(actually we left the hotel 10:30AM the next day). The Tatami room is large and comfortable but the bath room looked old and out dated. The onsen is nice but almost could not find the way back to the room. .The view from room is gorgeous especially when the sky is blue and clear. Breakfast is again good and served well. Next visit should probably be scheduled in spring or fall so can spend more time in the hotel and enjoy the beautiful...

stayed in Kagaya 10 yrs ago. This time we picked Tadaya, a bayview twin room with a balcony and hot water tub (stated in its website). The hotel onsen is quite big and have good views. Our meals were served inside our dining room within our room. At first, i was quite worried about cooked food smell but they do have good ventilation so that's not an issue. Our dinner was filled with numerous fresh seafood (menu chosen during booking). I added Noto beef and sake on spot. All the while, an obasan have been looking after us. ||||Minor suggestions - the hotel should look at installing in-room wifi and supplying onsen to the rooms with balcony bathtub. Next the single lift serving each tower is quite slow. the hotel should look at installing a bigger/faster lift or...

Prior to arriving to Tadaya for my stay which was only for one night, I had been communicating through email with one of the ryokan’s staff, Kusano-san who always provided very detailed replies and information.|Upon checking in he came to meet me personally to help confirm my transport arrangements for my next trip the following day.|It was such a pleasant surprise to find someone such as Kusano-san who is so helpful and spoke perfect English.||The standard room I stayed in was spacious with a nice sea view and the dinner served was also very good. |Overall it was a great short stay over and if you are not sure which establishment to choose in Wakura Onsen, I would gladly recommend giving...
