Wakura Onsen accommodation from NZ$465

This onsen hotel was amazing. The reception desk clerk was very helpful and even found a set of large size room slippers for us. The room was spacious and the ocean view was a large sliding glass door leading to a balcony. Lots of ocean to view. The onsen was lovely and the outdoor onsen space was open to the ocean, with an infinity pool edge. The food and drink was also very good. We arrived during afternoon tea and there were a variety of snacks available in the lobby, including prosciutto with peaches. The hotel has an open drinks policy, and there were several varieties of sake, umeshu, and beer available, as well as a whiskey soda tap (first time I have ever seen this amenity.) The dinner and breakfast are served buffet style in their restaurant, but both were very high quality, with things like crab omelettes for breakfast and slices of sirloin steak for dinner. They also had a variety of Noto food specialties to sample. If you wanted to pay extra, you could also get Echizen crabs for dinner. The check in and check out were smooth, and there was free parking. The only downside (from a Western perspective) is that there was no shower in the room, which meant you had to use the public onsen showers and bath to get clean, which might be a problem if you are shy. A lovely place to stay, and only about an hours drive from the Pokemon With You airport.
