If you searched for “Toyama Daiichi Hotel photos,” here is the short answer first: Toyama Daiichi Hotel (富山第一ホテル) in Sakuragicho, Toyama City, closed for business on March 31, 2021 and can no longer be booked. Even where its name still appears on booking sites, reservations are not possible. The building was a locally owned city hotel with 13 floors above ground and 110 rooms, opened on October 5, 1982. The Sakuragicho district that includes the site is inside a redevelopment zone for which Toyama City adopted an urban-planning decision in October 2025. We cannot reproduce photos of the hotel for rights reasons, so this article records the facts about the building and the current state of the site, then, in the second half, lays out where you can stay near Toyama Station today, using OTA listed prices (per room, 2 guests, tax included).

What kind of building was Toyama Daiichi Hotel? (Opened 1982, 13 floors, 110 rooms)

Toyama Daiichi Hotel opened on October 5, 1982 (Showa 57). A member of the Hankyu Hanshin Daiichi Hotel Group, it stood 13 floors above ground with 110 guest rooms: 56 twins, 45 singles, 5 doubles and 4 suites. Twins were mostly 21–27 m² and singles 17–20 m². With banquet halls, restaurants and meeting rooms, it operated for about 38 years in Sakuragicho — midway between Toyama Station and the central Sogawa shopping district — as a “locally owned city hotel” that also hosted weddings and banquets.

HotelBank reported the background to the closure on December 17, 2020. GRN (Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture), parent of the operator Toyama Amenity System, announced that the hotel would close on March 31, 2021. Sales, which peaked at about ¥3 billion in 1991, had fallen to about ¥1.4 billion by 2019 as new hotels kept opening in the city, and the collapse of banquet demand — its core business — during the 2020 pandemic was the trigger. GRN owns the land and building, and said that after the closure it intended to take part in the Sakuragicho redevelopment as a landowner.

Note that booking sites and map apps sometimes keep a property page after a hotel closes, but it cannot be booked today and shows no prices. It is also excluded from the price and recommendation figures later in this article.

The site today: how far has the Sakuragicho redevelopment progressed? (as of October 2026)

Here is what Toyama City’s published documents confirm, in chronological order.

The plan is to demolish the existing buildings in the zone and build several new ones. A local newspaper also reported that the city’s Urban Planning Council approved the draft decision, with the existing buildings, including the former Toyama Daiichi Hotel, to be demolished and the project to be completed in FY2032. However, as of October 2026 we could not confirm from the city’s published documents whether demolition of the former hotel building is complete. The city’s June 2025 document described the zone as containing “vacant buildings,” so if you want to check on site whether the building is still standing, it is safest to look at the latest information from Toyama City’s Urban Development Promotion Division or follow-up reports in the local press before you go. The operator of the roughly 240 hotel rooms is also not named in the city’s published documents as of this writing. For an example of how a closed hotel’s site is being used a few years on, see Senjukaku Site Now a 305-Car Park: Machida Hotel Market 5 Years On on the former Hotel Rapport Senjukaku in front of Machida Station.

7 places to stay near Toyama Station today: chosen by what reviewers praise

If you are looking for a replacement for Toyama Daiichi Hotel, supply — including banquet and dining functions — is concentrated in front of Toyama Station. From a tag analysis of guest reviews of properties in Toyama Prefecture compiled by the HotelBank Editorial Team over the latest 24 months (October 2024 – September 2026), we list 7 operating properties in Toyama City that drew the most mentions for “close to the station,” “cleanliness,” “meals” and “large public bath.” Prices are OTA listed prices (per room, 2 guests, tax included) over the 62 days from October 8 to December 8, 2026. “Lowest” is the cheapest plan on the cheapest day in the period, and “median” is the median of each day’s cheapest plan.

Here is what reviewers of each property single out (all from guest reviews compiled by the HotelBank Editorial Team, October 2024 – September 2026; excerpts, translated from Japanese).

• Hotel Vischio Toyama (N=2,272 reviews): “Right next to the station, very convenient,” “new and clean.” Directly connected to the station building’s shopping complex, so you can get there from the ticket gates without getting wet. Has a large public bath.
• Toyoko Inn Toyama-eki Shinkansen-guchi No.2 (N=9,371 reviews): “Free breakfast feels like a good deal,” “close to the station and convenient.” Its lowest price and median over the 62 days were both ¥7,875, so the rate barely moves from day to day.
• Daiwa Roynet Hotel Toyama-Ekimae (N=4,895 reviews): “Close to the station, a great location,” “we could have sashimi even at breakfast.” Opened in 2019; every room is 21 m² or larger.
• Hotel JAL City Toyama (N=4,707 reviews): “Clean, with a bathroom where the toilet and bath are separate,” “a new hotel, very clean, with spacious rooms.” Opened in 2022, 252 rooms.
• Toyama Manten Hotel (N=12,601 reviews): “The large bath on the 11th floor has a great view,” “a large bath and sauna — the best.” In the city center, from a lowest price of ¥6,500.
• Onyado Nono Toyama (N=14,236 reviews): “The hot-spring water was wonderful,” “an inn where you feel like saying ‘I’m home.’” It has a natural hot-spring large bath, and the building is designed so you take off your shoes and walk on tatami. It sits in the city center on the Toyama Castle Park side, within walking distance of Sogawa at night.
• APA Hotel Stay Toyama (N=7,526 reviews): “You can have a seafood bowl for breakfast, great value,” “the sauna is excellent.” A large 274-room property where both the sauna-equipped large bath and the breakfast draw praise. Booking through the official website or app is the best deal (you get perks and points).

If you will be taking online meetings from your room on a business trip, HotelPicks’ comparison of hotels in front of Toyama Station (in Japanese), which compares five properties by wall thickness, internet connection and desk lighting, is a useful reference.

Choosing by purpose: banquets, anniversaries, business trips, hot springs

For gatherings with a banquet, such as memorial services or class reunions, the station-front city hotels with banquet halls have taken over Toyama Daiichi Hotel’s role. Listed prices at city hotels in Toyama City average ¥20,657 (per room, 2 guests, N=7), about ¥5,700 more than business hotels, but you can dine and stay in the same building. For anniversaries or a couple’s trip, properties praised for newness and cleanliness, such as Hotel Vischio Toyama and Hotel JAL City Toyama, both opened in 2022, are a good fit. To keep business-trip costs down, Toyoko Inn Toyama-eki Shinkansen-guchi No.2, Toyama Manten Hotel and APA Hotel Stay Toyama can be found from around ¥8,000 per room for 2 guests, which on some days works out to around ¥4,000 per person. To unwind in a hot bath, Onyado Nono Toyama and Toyama Manten Hotel draw the most reviews about the large baths themselves.

Prices move with the day of the week and the season. Even within this article’s window, the same property shows a 1.3–1.6x gap between its lowest price and its median (Hotel Vischio Toyama ¥12,420 → ¥16,560; Daiwa Roynet Hotel Toyama-Ekimae ¥8,742 → ¥14,250). If your dates are flexible, comparing weekday and Saturday prices side by side before deciding makes it easier to keep the bill down: in June–August 2026, business hotels in Toyama Prefecture ran at an estimated 90.1% occupancy on Saturdays versus 73.9% on Sundays (N=28–31 properties; estimated from OTA-listed inventory).

Methodology and Sources

■ Data sources

Lodging prices and the prices of the 7 recommended properties are listed prices compiled by the HotelBank Editorial Team from public OTA data (2 guests per room, per room, tax included). Category prices are averages across properties in Toyama City for October 2026 (business hotels N=34, city hotels N=7, ryokan N=11, guesthouses N=5, vacation rentals N=5). Reviews are tag counts of guest reviews (October 2024 – September 2026); quotations are excerpts, translated from Japanese.

■ Calculation assumptions

For the 7 properties, “lowest” is the cheapest plan on the cheapest day between October 8 and December 8, 2026 (62 days), and “median of daily lowest” is the median of each day’s cheapest plan. Per-person figures are the 2-guest room rate divided by 2. Distances from Toyama Station are approximate straight-line distances from the center of the station and differ from walking times.

■ Limitations

Listed prices are not actual transaction prices and vary by date, plan and booking timing. Statements about the site and the redevelopment are based on Toyama City’s published documents as confirmed in October 2026; completion dates and the mix of uses are at the planning stage and may change. The demolition status of the former hotel building cannot be confirmed from the city’s published documents. Toyama Daiichi Hotel, which has closed, is not included in the price or recommendation figures.
