Stayed with my brother for two nights in separate rooms. Was given an upgrade on arrival - my Japanese is poor but the staff went out of their way to guide and assist, with travel and the spa facilities. As a vegetarian there are some options for the evening meal , but breakfast !! WOW!! Fantastic great selection for most diets !! Starting with a traditional !! Delicious !! Great location for Shirakawa-go , etc Take your pick - chill out , full steam ahead or just allow yourself to be pampered.

Sakuragaike Kurgarten is essentially a health and leisure cum recreation complex with male and female onsens, hydrotherapy pools, swimming facilities, etc and seems to cater for whole families. It is a large complex with cherry trees (hence Sakura), a lake, extensive grounds, etc). It is quite rural. Our room in the main building was modern but bland. Downstairs, there is a large smartly decorated and furnished lounge with plush settees. We had no quibbles about the restaurant which served a perfectly respectable breakfast with hot and cold mainly Japanese offerings. We chose the hotel, like some other travellers, as a convenient stop within 45 mins drive on the expressway to Kanazawa where we were to return our hire car. We probably wouldn’t have looked at it otherwise. It served its purpose though perhaps we didn't use the facilities as much as we should have and therefore it didn't represent particularly good value.

I stopped of here for one night, after visiting Gokayama and Hida and having to return the rental car to Kanazawa early the next morning. The setting of the Hotel is very rural, actually in a very nice location. The rooms are slightly dated but have been well maintained. There is a onsen and swimming pools, hence the name. The pools are favoured by locals and children, so it was quite busy on Sunday afternoon and early evening. I ate in the restaurant in the evening. There was a set menu one could chose from. I chose the Udon Noodles, which was ok. I had to leave early the next morning before Breakfast, which only started at 7.30 am. I would definitely come back to stay here again, if the area. Very peaceful, even with the day trippers.

“Peaceful retreat hidden away in plain sight next to the expressway”

I had a couple of nights here with my wife in September 2015 during a driving holiday. She had spotted the hotel on a previous trip and we booked a couple of nights here this time.

I had a couple of nights here with my wife in September 2015 during a driving holiday. She had spotted the hotel on a previous trip and we booked a couple of nights here this time. The service, facilities, and views are surprising given the location. The hotel only has 17 rooms, but it has a full-service swimming pool/spa/onsen onsite that is very popular with locals. The restaurant is excellent. We had lunch here on the first day, and dinner and breakfast included in our stay. Great cost/performance. The hotel is next to Sakuragaike reservoir, which appears to have been developed as a leisure facility in the past. There is a pleasant walk around the lake, camping and barbecue facilities, a skate park and extensive children's playground, and various nature sights. The hotel is quiet with no noise from the expressway and the views are stunning. Fantastic place to take a quiet break. We had the whole place to ourselves for most of the time. Also definitely check out L'ensoleiller French restaurant 200m out the back of the hotel. It is amazing.
