Very Good

This ryokan hotel located at a quite fishing town of Himi, facing the Toyama bay. During a clear day, the view of Tateyama snow capped alps at the other side of Toyama bay, simply terrific. The service of the front desk is excellent, they go extra miles to get me a few candle for my kids birthday cake. Besides the free flow coffee & soft ice cream at designated time are excellent add on. Though the building & design was a bit old but it was well maintained & clean. The open air Onsen is small which could probably accommodate 6-7 people at anyone time but view is excellent. Will come back again for sure.
This is an excellent hotel. The room is so big and oversee the ocean. The hot spring also has the outdoor one which can oversee the ocean while you're enjoying the hot bath.
Our package is including dinner and breakfast, the food is excellent and well worth the value.

Fantastic outdoor Onsen
Loved the high up outdoor Onsen with the whole bay in front of you and the spectacular mountains. Western room don't get the view so make sure you get a Japanese style room if you want it. Older hotel and our room was smokey and the bathroom was a bit smelly too but overall a good place to stay if you are driving- there's no restaurants open nearer than 15 mins drive in winter.
The hotel is located at nowhere, so there is not entertainment if you wanna go out. Outdoor hot spring is facing the bay, very very nice~and the dinner is perfectly great with the price.
However, the downside is the rooms are small and old, toilet smells and can't stand to stay in it. Also, towers in rooms are not satisfactory too. I would only go for hot spring and dinner, but don't recommend to stay for the night.

Hotel close to beach
Expedia description stated that hotel included restaurant and bar w/lounge.
However, not available to us, since a group had booked it for the night. Luckily we had a car and had to drive to another town to find food. It was pouring rain, so not a pleasant Ryokan experience at the high price we had paid.
I had requested two twin rooms, and we actually got a Japanese style room with tatami mats
