The Kayotei

Guests are taken privately into the workshops of Yamanaka artisans.

Kayotei is a 10-room ryokan in the small hot spring village of Yamanaka Onsen in Kaga, Ishikawa, surrounded by gardens and forested hills. Its suite rooms are arranged in the sukiya style of a tea ceremony pavilion, the walkways are laid with tatami, and several room types have a private open-air bath. The main hot spring bath is enclosed by tall glass walls facing the forested hills. Kaiseki dinners made with local seafood and seasonal vegetables are served in private tatami dining rooms. The inn is about 20 minutes by taxi from JR Kaga-Onsen Station.
