  Onsen by the sea

  This Onsen/hotel is around 1km away from the center of Wajima. It doesn't mind a quiet hotel near the sea. The public baths are fine, the tatami mats are comfortable and the staff is friendly. Bathrooms, however, are small. That doesn't matter if one is used to Japanese baths, since one can shower there. The nearness to the sea makes this hotel though. Take a walk to town the long way along the sea and enjoy the scenery and look at the fishing part of the town. Tourism will soon take over since Wajima is in such a good location. But at its heart Wajima is still a fishing village. Enjoy it while it lasts. You won't be disappointed at Yashio either

  Okay, but Hoped for More

  The staff were excellent, the room spacious, and the public hot spring baths well cared for with indoor/outdoor options. Our critiques were with the location, the food, and a little problem with the roof outside our window. Perhaps we just had too high expectations to start with. We thought a hotel overlooking the ocean would have great views and great seafood, but there was neither. I guess its just the way the hotel sits and the way the surrounding area is configured, but the views of the sea and distant harbor just weren't particularly pretty. The other big Wajima selling point besides the sea, is the city market, which is a pretty long hike away (if you have a car, there is plenty of free parking downtown). For the dinner, the chef's-choice menu featured tilapia prepared 4 different ways. We were hoping for a little more mixture of seafood, but the real shortcoming in my wife's opinion, was that the food was not tasty. My wife is Japanese and a foodie and in her opinion the chef did not seem inspired. Her other pet peeve was that as we looked out our second floor window rocks and bamboo that were once decorations were strewn about the roof below. I hesitated to write this critical review, because the staff were truly great, the hotel has many good qualities, and the rates were very reasonable, but we had hoped for more at this seaside locale and came up short.

  Great place

  We spent 4 nights in this hotel and enjoyed it a lot. The location near the sea was beautiful. The service in the hotel is great and everyone are extremely nice, polite and are very service oriented. We had both breakfast and dinner in the hotel and we highly enjoyed it. One of us does not eat sea food and the hotel was very flexible in building a different menu. Also in the morning one of us wanted a Japanese style breakfast and the other one wanted a western breakfast and there was no issue at all, Great place.

  wonderful sashimi, great service, comfy digs, scenic location, average onsen

  The ryokan sits just outside of the hubbub of Wajima Onsen. The property overlooks a pretty, mostly western-facing beach on the Sea of Japan. Service was attentive, kind, and professional throughout. Our Japanese-style room with tatami mats and futon was plenty large, clean, and comfortable. Included wifi worked fine. Sadly, however, and as is often the case at ryokan, the windows had no screens to admit fresh air. The included half-board meals (dinner and breakfast) were consistently wonderful throughout our two-night stay. Meals were served in individual shoji-screened dining areas. In particular, we really enjoyed the bountiful dinner time offerings of delicious fresh fish. The onsen (public baths) was nice, but also a tad disappointing: indoors, the water was overly hot; and outdoors, the rotenburo was too small for the number of people who wanted to use it. Wajima Onsen is an interesting and noteworthy town; and, assuming you have a (rental) car at your disposal, ryokan Yashio is a fine base for enjoying and exploring it.

  Good for fresh seafood, bad for interior design

  Wajima Onsen Yashio. Beautifully located overlooking the sea, this hotel excels in fresh seafood, japanese-style. The interior could so with a painter and some new carpets but the wabi-sabi look is balanced by very good service and accommodating staff.
