Authentic, peaceful, friendly ryokan with private onsen.

9.0

A lovely traditional ryokan. It felt like staying in a converted home- a long standing family business. It is simple, calm and clean. It has two lovely shared bathrooms which have onsen baths. They can be used by 1 person or several people (up to 3) at a time depending on your preferences/ situation. Local roasted tea stem tea was provided with a flask of hot water every day, alongside fresh towels. A simple dressing gown style robe is also provided for your stay. It usefully has a washer & dryer for use at certain times of day, (although in great demand) and racks were provided as an alternative drying method. Quiet in a great central location - easy access to the bus routes to the station and key sites. Friendly helpful family staff. They both received and helped send on our luggage and provided recommendations for local restaurants. The one we went to was tiny, but so local - the chef /owner had been there for 60+ years & the food was delicious!

Nothing. It isn’t trying to be anything other than an authentic stay in a traditional ryokan. As long as you accept it is more like a bed and breakfast (the latter is optional) than a “hotel” you will have a lovely time, as we did.

Es muy agradable y muy tranquilo. Muy bien situado. La atención de los dueños es excelente.

Al tener habitación arriba, tenía el baño un poco lejos.

Perfect location, true ryokan experience, extremely friendly staff, good value for money

9.0

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, real ryokan experience (tatami, paper windows, free of charge Japanese bath, garden), accessible washing machine and dryer, accessible and nice location close to convenience stores, shops, restaurants, bars and within the walking distance to museums, garden and castle, dinning room and fridge available for use. Kanazawa & Shirakawa go are true hidden gems. We enjoyed them more than Kyoto!

After a few days I was missing a normal shower

Nous avons été très bien accueilli, c'était propre et tout à fait conforme aux descriptions. Très bien situé dans le vieux quartier de Kanazawa, près de nombreux restaurants et commerce, et du quartier des samouraïs.

Il aurait fallu pouvoir réserver le bain / douche, car il y avait de l'attente.
