Wakura Onsen Nihon no Yado Notoraku

Main-building bay-view tatami rooms (10 tatami and up) — the 'Nanao Bay view Japanese room' plan

This is what most reviewers booked, at about ¥16,000–28,000 per person with two meals in 2025–2026. A May 2026 guest said all rooms face the sea. A group of three found their room 'too big for three', with morning mist lifting off the bay toward the Notojima Bridge. A December 2025 blogger's 7th-floor room had tatami plus a separate bedroom. An August 2026 guest on the 5th floor liked the two washbasins and the window bath looking out to Notojima.

Upper-floor special rooms with a private open-air bath, or the 14th-floor 'premium floor' Western rooms

A guest upgraded in April 2026 to a top-floor corner suite facing the Notojima Bridge. They described a balcony with sofas, a private open-air bath and a glass-walled shower, and barely used the shared baths. The inn has 10 rooms with private open-air baths in three layouts, plus a 14th-floor room with a bay-view bath and terrace. Note that the inn says these private baths and the terrace Jacuzzis are not onsen water. Ask by phone about premium-floor availability.

Garden Notoya annex singles and the bathless 'wakeari' rooms; onsen terrace rooms

Garden Notoya is an oriental-style annex with Western rooms and unit baths. A December 2025 guest called it 'like an onsen business hotel', one July 2026 room looked onto the convenience store roof, and an October 2026 reviewer found dust and rubbish under the bed. They are cheap (about ¥7,000–9,000 per person, room only or with breakfast) and still use the main baths. The onsen terrace rooms (hinoki tubs with real spring water) remain closed for quake repairs. In the main tower, 2026 guests heard toilets flushing in the next room and children running upstairs, and one complained of weak air-conditioning.
