Shirasagi no Yu Noto Kaifune is located in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Located in the middle of the Noto Peninsula jutting out into the Sea of Japan, Nanao City is famous for being a “just right town” where the city and the countryside coexist with the sea and the mountains.
Nanao Port, which has flourished as a good natural port, is the gateway to the sea, and the city has been developing as the political, economic, and cultural center of Noto since ancient times.
There are many recommended sightseeing spots to visit when you come to Nanao City, such as the Notojima Aquarium, a participatory aquarium full of vents, Wakura Onsen, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and a source of water that has been bubbling up for 1,200 years, Michi no Eki Noto Shokusai Ichiba, a convenient market for souvenir shopping and eating, and a wonderful museum where you can see the sparkling sea and glass. The Notojima Glass Museum is a wonderful museum where you can encounter the sparkling sea and glass, the Wakura Showa Museum and Toy Museum where you can enjoy the nostalgic Showa era scenery, and the Notojima Bridge, the longest bridge in the prefecture, where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the sea and the island.

Shirasagi no Yu Noto Kaifune is an inn located facing the sea, which gives the feeling that the inn itself is a boat traveling on the sea.
There are two hot spring baths where you can enjoy a full bath as if drifting on the sea, the “pure Japanese style bath” for enjoying the morning sun and the “new Japanese style bath” for enjoying the evening sun, as well as three types of private open-air baths.
In the new open-air bath, you can enjoy the morning sunrise, and in the pure open-air bath, you can watch the sunset while Nanao Bay spreads out before your eyes.
There are also three private open-air baths named “Kinoon,” “Ishinoon,” and “Tsuchinoon,” which can be used whenever they are available.
The open-air baths are made of ceramic, which has a high heat retention effect, and you can enjoy the hot water of Wakura Onsen, which is known for its beautiful skin.
