We returned to Kochou again this year because we were so impressed last year. From the moment the staff picked us up in Kagaonsen, Ken guided us with Google Translate help. The facilities are beautiful and focused on relaxation, and we had a private onsen in our room overlooking the river. Ken served amazing food in our own dining room. Walking along the river and through town was lovely, making it a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommended.

The people here are incredibly kind, the service is wonderful, and the whole place is very pretty. I stayed in the suite, so I didn’t use the ryokan facilities except for that. The village was exactly what I wanted—a small onsen town (mid‑day is best) and the gorge was gorgeous :)

The service we got from this Ryokan was excellent, especially our host Ken. He is great and thoughtful, using a translation device when we can’t understand Japanese. The location is so convenient that we can easily reach tourist spots. The room we stayed in was worth every penny. The weather was bad, but that’s out of anyone’s control; we wish it had been sunny so we could have enjoyed it more. I guess there’s a reason to visit again :0

We loved the Kaga Onsen area, and Ken was a wonderful host. He picked us up from the train station and drove us to the property. Since we only speak English and Ken speaks Japanese, he used a smartphone translator to communicate with us, which was incredibly helpful. We really enjoyed hearing him explain the town, the amenities, the room, and the food. The property is older and definitely shows its age, but it is meticulously maintained and that actually adds to its charm. It feels authentic and full of history rather than overly polished. We also loved sleeping on the futons on the floor, which made the experience feel even more traditional. Make sure to spend some time walking along the river and exploring the town. We found the whole area peaceful and deeply relaxing. The food pushed me a little outside my comfort zone in the best way possible, and everything was excellent. Our only “complaint” was the sheer amount of food. Come hungry because both dinner and breakfast are huge. I liked everything about the property. It felt authentic and like it’s been there a long time. It may not be as glitzy and glamorous as some others in town but it was a perfect reprieve on our long trip.
