The location is spot on too. who cares that the toilets and showers are not en suite … the kind of people who appreciate authenticity and heritage will be happy to trade those for a lovely onsen and the house and facilities are immaculate clean. if I ever come back to Kanazawa I would definitely book again and recommend very highly. there is an AMAZING sushi place 2 mins walk away Ippei don’t miss it! freshest sushi you will ever eat!

    This Ryokan hotel is just next to two amazing sights: Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden. The hotel provides you yukata for men and kimono for women, and you can keep them if you like (we did!). Breakfast was good but not great. The traditional Japanese style room was excellent with a small sitting area, which was quite pleasant. The staff was excellent and made us feel quite welcome. The onsen was excellent and quite hot; the water minerally and soothing. The facility was excellent.

    fantastic family run ryokan (traditional japanese inn), with a shared onsen, outstanding food, and a traditional room with tatami floors, paper wall deco and clothes to wear during the stay (not mandatory of course). The manager is very kind and paying close attention to details. We had a delicious dinner in the room (highly recommended!!) prepared by the family, with salmon, tempura, sashimi, a large prawn, miso soup, rice, fruits, and may small nipples - it's the best dinner experience we had in Japan.
