According to legend, the god of Mount Hakusan visited a Buddhist priest, telling him to uncover an underground hot spring in a nearby village. The hot spring was found, and the priest requested that his disciple, a woodcutter’s son named Garyo Saskiri, build and run a spa on the site. His family, known as Hoshi, have run a hotel in Komatsu ever since; the current structure houses 450 people in 100 rooms. Zengoro Hoshi is the current patriarch |
 | The Ryokan has evolved through the centuries. Today, it offers a hundred rooms and can accomodate up to 450 guests.
Everything has been set to fully satisfy each customer, the latest being considered as a privileged guest.
The tea ceremony is a characteristic of the traditional japanese welcome.
Natural produce is served during the meals, especially seafood from the next ocean which contributes to the Ryokan reputation.
Japanese people, more than any other, pay attention to their way of life, constantly searching harmony with nature and appreciating the changes of seasons.
Following this idea, each room in the Ryokan has been given a poetic name by Hoshi.
An "Emmeikaku", guest house built in the garden, can be found in the Ryokan as well, with walls and ceilings being nicely decorated with red checked patterns from the Hokuriku area.
Upon his arrival, the new coming guest is garbed in a "Yukata", the japanese traditionnal cotton kimono, introducing a relaxing stay where anyone can get rid of his stress.
This is the way the Ryokan Hoshi fulfils the wishes of its guests, in respect to the traditionnal and historical japanese hospitality, inherated from fourty-six generations of owners, paying attention to an absolute bliss. |
