Established in 1937, Enraku is the crown jewel hotel of Unazuki Onsen, with its spectacular view of Kurobe Gorge.

Surrounded by carefully selected bedding and furnishings, you will be healed in body and soul with the highest level of hospitality that only a Japanese inn can offer.

Top Five Reasons Why You Should Stay in a Hotel

The hot springs of Unazuki Onsen, said to be one of the clearest in Japan, vividly reflect the scenery of the Kurobe Gorge, which changes its expression with the seasons. Enjoy the hot spring to your heart's content in the outdoor bath made from 400-year-old Japanese cypress, the rock open-air bath inspired by the flow of the Kurobe River, or the large tub with attached sauna.

Enraku offers rooms with open-air baths where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the valley while soaking all by yourself. There are baths of Towada stone in beautiful shades of pale blue and green, ceramic tubs with the warmth of clay, and baths of fresh-smelling Japanese cypress, allowing you to fully enjoy the hot spring without worrying about the eyes of others.

Enraku has a new wing, Taihokaku, and an old wing, Honkan, with the Honkan featuring an outstanding view while offering reasonably priced accommodations. In addition to standard rooms with a veranda and courtyard, rooms with an open-air bath and guest rooms are also available.

Toyama Bay, one of the deepest bays in Japan, is a treasure trove of seafood. Melting snow from the Tateyama Mountain Range circulates in the earth, bringing oxygen and nutrients to Toyama Bay, making the seafood tasty. Enjoy banquet cuisine that makes abundant use of seasonal foods unique to Toyama along with the best ingredients such as white shrimp and crab, the jewels of Toyama Bay, served in special dishes.

Kurobe Gorge Railway is a trolley-train which runs through the deepest V-shaped gorge in Japan. It is an unexplored region where you can enjoy the fresh greenery in spring, the clear stream in summer, and the autumn leaves in fall, and forget your daily life. In winter the way is blocked by snow, but from mid-April to the end of November, while the trolley operates, it is popular with tourists. Unazuki Station, the departure point of the trolley train, is a 5-minute walk from Unazuki Onsen Station. A free shuttle bus is available from the hotel to Unazuki Onsen Station.
