Enraku

A long-established ryokan that has captivated many writers and artists since it opened in 1937. Throughout the property, understated arrangements of flowers used in tea ceremonies and wild plants reflect its founding commitment to appreciating nature as it is.

All guest rooms face the gorge and are available in four main types, ranging from Japanese-style rooms with spacious engawa verandas to rooms with open-air baths and luxurious suites with a reception room and open-air bath. Rooms with open-air baths offer a choice of three different bath styles: Japanese cypress, ceramic, or stone.

The inn's celebrated hot spring water is said to be among the clearest in Japan. Facilities include two open-air baths and separate large public baths for men and women. Each bath has its own distinctive character, including an open-air bath crafted from a 400-year-old Japanese cypress by master shrine and temple carpenters, and a rock bath inspired by the flow of the Kurobe River.

Meals can also be served in guest rooms, offering the opportunity to savor seasonal delicacies from both the mountains and the sea of Toyama. Special seasonal menus feature ingredients such as white shrimp, known as the jewel of Toyama Bay, winter yellowtail, and snow crab.

Facilities include a cultural gallery displaying works by Gyokudo Kawai and other renowned painters, a tea room, a tea lounge, and a bar. There is also a salon offering aroma massages, facial treatments, and other services. The shop carries a wide selection of Unazuki specialties, including popular sweets and local products.
