Suzuya Konnichiro is a 33-room inn in Yamanaka Onsen, a hot-spring town in Kaga, Ishikawa. It calls itself a hideaway in a mountain village, is marking its 60th year, and its two large baths are shaped like a Yamanaka lacquer bowl. Before you book, three things matter: payment at the inn is cash only, so pay by card online if you need to; check-in closes at 18:00; and the site is in Japanese only, so the booking page is the place to compare plans.

Getting to Suzuya Konnichiro in Yamanaka Onsen
The nearest station is Kaga Onsen on the Hokuriku Shinkansen. The inn’s access page gives about 2 hours 43 minutes from Tokyo by shinkansen, then about 20 minutes by taxi from Kaga Onsen Station. From Komatsu Airport it is about 30 minutes by taxi, and by car about 15 minutes from the interchange the inn names as Kaga-Yamanaka. The official pages do not list a shuttle for individual guests or parking, so ask the inn when you book.
Once there, the booking page lists the town’s main sights as a short drive away: about 3 minutes to the main street, Yuge Kaido; about 4 minutes to the Kiku-no-yu public bath and its footbath; about 4 minutes to the Kakusenkei gorge; and about 5 minutes to the S-shaped Ayatori Bridge. The inn lends colorful yukata and bicycles for exploring. If you are adding a day in the city, see our Kanazawa guide.

What comes in the room?
The room page lists towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, a yukata, a hair dryer, a down quilt, a razor, cotton swabs, a comb and a toilet with a bidet seat. The six color rooms are named for flowers and plants, such as Sumire (violet) and Nadeshiko (pink), and the inn suggests choosing by the color you like.
The bowl baths at Suzuya Konnichiro
The inn’s two large baths copy the shape of a Yamanaka lacquer bowl, 3.6 meters across: one is the red bath, the other the black bath. The water is 100 percent from the source, a calcium-sodium sulfate spring at 48.2°C, and the inn describes it as clear and soft on the skin.
When can I use the baths?
The two baths swap between men and women. In the evening, from 15:00 to 24:00, the black bath is for men and the red bath for women; in the morning, from 5:00 to 9:00, they switch. The outdoor baths close at 23:00. Check the curtain at the entrance before you go in. Shampoo, body soap and a hair dryer are provided.
Is there a private bath?
The official pages do not list a private bath to book. Only the two top-floor sauna rooms have their own open-air bath, and it is not filled with hot-spring water.
Can I bathe with a tattoo?
The official pages do not mention tattoos. Ask the inn before you book; our tattoo and onsen guide explains what to ask.
Meals at Suzuya Konnichiro
What are dinner and breakfast like?
Dinner is a Kaga-style course. The standard course is Yusai Kaiseki, made with fish and vegetables from Ishikawa, and there is a premium course with more select ingredients, plus plans that add a nine-kind sashimi platter or a ceramic-plate steak. Breakfast is Japanese: grilled fish, tofu, Ishikawa Koshihikari rice and miso soup. Both are served in the dining room, not in your room.
What about crab season?
From November, the booking page adds crab plans: one snow crab per adult with the standard course, a full crab course made with frozen crab, and a plan with one Kano crab, the brand name for male snow crab landed in Ishikawa, marked with a light-blue tag. Children do not get crab unless booked at the adult price.
Can the inn handle allergies?
For children’s meals, the booking page says the inn cannot handle allergies, but you may bring your child’s own food. The official pages say nothing about allergies, vegetarian or other diets for adults, so contact the inn before you book.
