About

Housenkaku's name — "inn of flavor" — signals its priority: exceptional cuisine at accessible prices. This 21-room ryokan in the center of Wakura Onsen has built a loyal following for its generous Noto seafood kaiseki dinners, which feature notably larger portions and higher-quality ingredients than typical budget ryokans. The natural hot spring baths draw from Wakura's sodium-chloride-rich source, known for warming the body deeply and smoothing the skin. Rooms are modest but well-maintained traditional tatami style with futon bedding. For travelers who prioritize food quality over room luxury, Housenkaku is the smart choice in Wakura.
