Can you recommend a hotel in Toyama Prefecture where I can go to see the Owara Bon Festival?

Question

I want to go to Toyama Prefecture, which was featured in the NY Times' "52 Places to Go in 2025," and experience the good old days of Japan. I'm going to see the "Owara Bon Festival" in September with four friends, and we're planning to stay near Toyama Station, so please let me know what hotels you recommend. I'm planning to stay in Toyama for two nights and then go to Kanazawa. If there are any other recommended tourist spots within train distance of Toyama City, such as old-fashioned townscapes, please let me know.

Toyama Excel Hotel Tokyu is located just a 3-minute walk from Toyama Station, and has good access to the Owara Bon Festival, which is held in September. It is close to the station, so it is convenient for dining and souvenir shopping. You can also view the majestic Tateyama mountain range from the rooms on the east side. During your stay in Toyama, we recommend enjoying the dynamic nature on the Kurobe Gorge trolley train, or experiencing the original Japanese scenery at the World Heritage Gokayama Gassho-style Village. If you are sightseeing by train, both are relatively easy to access from Toyama Station, and you can enjoy good old Japanese culture and beautiful scenery.

We recommend the Route Inn Hotel, which is only a 3-minute walk from Toyama Station and has excellent accessibility. For 4 people, you will need to reserve 2 rooms with twin beds. Breakfast is free and has Buffet with 30 types of both Japanese and Western food, and the quality is higher than other business hotels. We recommend Toyama Station! There are plenty of souvenir shops, so you can choose plenty of Toyama souvenirs inside the station. There are also plenty of restaurants where you can eat Toyama specialties and local foods such as white shrimp, conveyor belt sushi with fresh seafood, and black ramen. It is very popular with tourists and is always crowded, so make sure you have plenty of time to go.

The natural onsen(hot spring) Toyama Tsurugi no Yu Onyado Nono offers a large natural onsen(hot spring) bath and sauna where you can soothe your travel fatigue. The modern Japanese-style rooms have a calming atmosphere, making them a relaxing place for all ages. Located within walking distance of Toyama Station, it offers easy access to tourist spots accessible by train. If you're touring the prefecture, we recommend Yamamachisuji and Kanayamachi in Takaoka City. You can relax and enjoy the traditional atmosphere of the old townscape. If you venture a little further to Himi City, you can also enjoy even fresher seafood. This is a recommended hotel with onsen(hot spring), comfortable rooms, and convenient travel options.
