First time staying at a ryokan and we loved it! Traditional stay, with modern comforts. Sleeping on mattress on the floors was actually quite nice and comfortable. The staff here is so sweet, I fell in love with the older ladies working here. The food is high quality. I am a vegetarian and they tried their best to accommodate. The staff speaks very little English so it was hard to explain my diet. Although all the food was vegetarian, I did notice they used sauces with fish in it. Again, they did try their best! My husband eats everything and was pleased with the meals. The hot springs were amazing, separated by gender and really nice facilities. The Hatori bus from Kaga Onsen to Hatori made it seamless. They have a schedule for the bus but just make sure to email them when you arrive so they know when to pick you up! Take a day trip to Kanazawa during the your stay. It's an easy trip from the Kaga Onsen station and a city you should not miss.
