A Traditional Ryokan in Yamanaka Onsen

In the historic hot-spring village of Yamanaka Onsen in Ishikawa, Kayotei is an intimate luxury ryokan of tatami rooms among forested hills, with private kaiseki dining, natural hot-spring baths and craft experiences.

Understated tradition in a quiet onsen town

Kayotei is a luxury ryokan in the small, historic hot-spring village of Yamanaka Onsen in Kaga, Ishikawa, surrounded by majestic trees, nurtured gardens and forested hills, and a member of the Ryokan Collection. It has a small number of individually styled all-tatami guest rooms, from Japanese-Western rooms to pure-Japanese tatami rooms such as the Higashiyama room with a veranda over the forest and river, some with a private shower.

Dining is kaiseki in the style of an exclusive ryotei, served privately in the tatami rooms, with Kaga-style cooking built on Sea of Japan seafood and local seasonal vegetables, and a salon-bar serving locally grown herb tea. There are natural Yamanaka hot-spring baths, indoor and in the garden. Experiences immerse guests in local craft, from Kutaniyaki porcelain and lacquerware studios to a soy-sauce brewery and town walks. It suits connoisseurs of authentic, understated traditional ryokan culture, kaiseki and craft heritage in a quiet onsen town.
