Aenokaze

Aenokaze provided a relaxing stay with exceptional service and outstanding meals. Wakura-Onsen is a wonderful town, the views from the hotel lounge and our room were spectacular, and it was a peaceful retreat after visiting busy Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya. Although we do not speak Japanese, Aenokaze had a couple of English speakers on staff that helped us with any questions. We spent two nights and enjoyed different dinners each night (although it is the same dinner show every night), and made good use of the hotel's amenities (table tennis, badminton, swimming pool, karaoke, game room, and of course the baths). Aenokaze provides a shuttle to and from the train station, so traveling is easy. It is also easy to catch a bus to visit the Noto peninsula (Aquarium, glass museum, beach). Aside from the baths and swimming pool, the entertainment options at the hotel are extra, so keep that in mind when budgeting!
