Pros: Enjoyed my stay which far exceeded my expectations! The host Shuji was incredibly friendly and went the extra mile in making us more than satisfied. We booked the room with 2 beds but was given the bigger room as it was available, how kind of Shuji! We were also provided with a hand drawn map of local sights and Shuji went out of his way to dry and leave our laundry neatly folded in our room while we were out sightseeing. Can not recommend enough!!!

He recommended some food places and they were absolutely delicious, got to try the nearby pancakes if you stay!.

The owner is very nice and helpful, we are very thankful for all the tips and friendliness. Would recommend staying at this Guesthouse while visiting Kanazawa!

Pros: 12 minute free bus (if you have JR pass) from Kanazawa station. Really nice area and easy walk to everything. Beer and pizza joint near the bridge is fab - super-yummy pizza dough that is rolled nice and thin and not overcooked.

The beds are super comfortable and the staff are always smiling and eager to help. If we will ever return to kanazawa, we will most definitely come again.

Pros: Great hotel which almost feels like Ryokan, with a nice intimate lobby with free drinks and soba. Rooms were huge and had all the creature comforts you need...

Cons: The fact we had to leave hehe. Couldn't get a room with a proper double bed as those probably go fast as I had booked in May 2019!

Pros: Bungo-San is an excellent host. He provided us with restaurant recommendations (based on the type of food, price, location, opening time, etc...) and he helped us plan our time in Kanazawa giving us bits of advice and maps. What a perfect welcome! The ryokan is super clean, Bungo & his mother are exquisite and the location is perfect. A little plus: the private Japanese bath recharges you after a long day travelling and makes you feel like in a movie. The overall is a perfect Japanese experience, strongly recommended! See you soon Bungo! Love, Paola & Gloria

Pros: Great host who provided great recommendations and booked us a tour for Myoryu-ji! Very lovely Ryokan.

Cons: N/A

Cons: Nothing - we loved it.

Pros: It is a ryokan run by very nice people. The host is very welcome and they offer you tea and sweets at the arrival. The rooms are very nice with tatami bed and they give you everything you need and even more. We found in our room two traditional Yukata to wear in the Ryokan but even outside. The toilet and Japanese Bathroom were super clean.

Pros: Lovely location, brilliant staff, clean, all round brilliant, zero complaints

Pros: Staff are lovely and location is great! Easy walk to most major attractions. Communal bath was also very pleasant and cleaned regularly.

Cons: Building a bit old with thin walls meaning it can get a little noisy/draughty.

Pros: It seems Murata is run by a family, and they exceptionally friendly and helpful. A guy at Murata helped me a lot to find some routes to other places and gave me valuable advices.

Pros: The location and price of this ryokan are fabulous. The staff id very friendly and welcoming. My room was very clean, quiet and warm. The shared bath and toilet were spotless. My only recommendation is that the staff teach their Chinese guest about Japanese bathing!!

Cons: All good! Nothing I didn’t like!!

Pros: Excellent traditional Japanese breakfast!

Cons: Wished for electronic payment option but since it is a traditional inn, I understand.

Pros: The location is very good, close to popular tourist attractions. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the service is very good. There are many choices for breakfast. Hope they would notice that ventilation fan in the bathroom is very dusty. The bedroom is little bit dark and lighting can be improved.

Cons: My husband likes the breakfast, there are many choices.

Pros: staff are really nice

Pros: The hotel was very close to Kenrokuen and Kabazawa Castle. They provided a little Japanese snacks and special tea (Hoji-cha) for free in the room.

Pros: The property is really well located for the Gion district. Facilities are elegant, graceful, understated. Staff was extremely helpful and solicitous. Room was beautiful and public bath was a real treat after 7 hours of walking around all day! I only wished I’d had more time to just relax and enjoy this lovely hotel!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The teapot and cups are Jap traditional type. We enjoy using it to drink tea. The bottle of mineral water provided had the special tainted glass pattern printed, which matches with its designs in the hotel lobby, which made it more exclusive. They provided free ice-cream outside the onsen area which was surprisingly unexpected. Onsen was good too. It was just 3 minutes walk to the gate of Kanazawa Castle. It uses a swan to represent the hotel. We saw the swan statue in the Castle Park thus we understand why it uses it as its symbol.

Cons: Breakfast was too Japanese style. It would be nice to have a bit more western food.

Pros: Love the Onsen at this hotel. We have stayed here twice. Just a really nice place with great staff.

Cons: Room size good just layer out a bit odd.

Pros: Very nice big room with a view on the castle through the threes , enjoying the charming, noble atmosphere of the room and lobby. Located at the castle and the fabulous Kenroku-en garden. The hotel has its own thermal spring for the (indoor) onsen.

Pros: All good. Worth it.

Cons: No elevator is a bit troublesome, but it's okay since there are so many good things www.

Pros: The location was perfect for us, only about a 2 minute walk from the train station where you can also hop on the loop bus (one of the buses is free with the JR Pass). The hostel staff were very welcoming and everything was extremely clean. Room was very quiet and we loved having our own capsules. Free tea and coffee was a really nice touch and the snacks were all a reasonable price. Very impressed and would love to stay here again!

Pros: Clean comfy beds with good privacy! The compartments were also large enough to house my 2 x 35l bags within so there wasn’t anything to be strewn around the floor... Free drinks were a plus - the filter coffee was a big bonus for me!

Cons: Lack of laundry / drying facilities

Pros: The space was nice and overall clean. Really close to the station and there's a shopping mall nearby for shopping, a highly raved ramen store for supper, and a few other nice spots in the vicinity to try out. Would be great for solo travellers or those going on day trips via kanazawa station.

Cons: The guests when we were there were quite rude. Such as leaving their shoes in the middle of the walkway in the room and loud banging of doors and luggages in the late+early hours. Another thing that made us uncomfortable was that one guest was coughing in the room without a mask. With the recent outbreak of the corona virus, it made us quite uncomfortable and we had to wear masks to sleep. Understandably that's not fully within the control of the place, but just things to note when choosing to stay.

Pros: Nice place, great staff and great location.

Pros: Location is the best!

Pros: The place was modest but clean and comfortable, and they had an awesome map on the wall with food and service recommendations, which was great. Checking in and out was easy, and they offered free tea and coffee. :)

Pros: The host was very friendly and helpful. He prepared simple but delicious meals every morning. Not only did he explained in detail the attractions around the guesthouse, but he also took us to a traditional onsen that's his favorite. He also gave us a lift to the train station in Kanazawa. On the way there, we stopped at the Yuwaku arts and crafts center and had a panoramic view of the quiet village down below in the valley. The room was very authentic Japanese style. I loved the sliding doors and tatami. Everything was a short walk away, including a pond, Edo Village museum, Yumeiji Museum (which has great art. We also enjoyed learning about Yumeji's most interesting life story) and restaurants.

Cons: The facility is not luxury or brand new like one may expect at an onsen ryokan but it was just what we needed. So if you are looking for somewhere that feels like home and not just a hotel room, then this is the place to go to!

Pros: Very nice location, quiet place to sleep well and the best host in japan. Very friendly host, he cooked for us and took us to an onsen! We highly recommed this place.

Pros: Oh yes! what a great host. so much fun and the guest house is really nice as well. we had the family room with lots of space and everything you need. Onsen voucher included!! The house even came with us - a lot of fun!. Totally recommend it! The breakfast with extra charge is ok too

Cons: Nothing to complain. Great place and super fun host!!

Pros: Owner is very helpful. We arrive late but he waited for us. After we settled down, he brought us to a nearby restaurant for dinner (not included in room rate). He also able to prepare breakfast for us the next morning with minimal charges. The owner is very nice and collect a lot of items in the guesthouse. If not for my limited time (only 1 night, arrived late and left early) i am sure we can have some nice chat.

Cons: Guesthouse is congested - by all the collectible and also other stuff. Table are being placed along corridor and blanket etc was store on it. Room is very basic with one heater only - there is no centralized heating system. Multiple patched holes on paper window. No bathroom although 1 entry ticket to nearby onsen is included.

Pros: The best host ever!! He is really nice and cares about his guests. A fabulous place to stay for your time in Yuwaku Onsen.

Cons: I do not know what to write in this field.

Pros: Yasuo is one of the nicest people we’ve met—we bumped into him at the bus station and he gave us a ride to the guest house and offered to take us to his favorite onsen once we’re settled in and rested. A must place to stay if you’re in the area!

Cons: A little bit of the regular tourist route—but that might be a plus, actually!

Pros: The owner was very kind, he even took me to a local onsen with his car. The price is also very affordable for a traditional Japanese inn.

Pros: I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Property was all clean, and the breakfast has lots of varieties.

Pros: The king room was very spacious, and everything was clean, fresh, and appealing. Great value and was part of the reason we found Kanazawa our favorite city in Japan.

Cons: There was nothing to dislike.

Pros: The newly built hotel is very convenient walking distance from the train station. Clean modern rooms, pleasant decor and overall great amenities.

Cons: The restaurant needs much to be desired especially for service and menu choices.

Pros: All of hotel facility are greatttt

Cons: Nothing... everything is great.. best hotel and highly recomended

Pros: room is so big in japan . Close to JR station , very convenient . Facility in the room is good .

Cons: Temperature in the room cant adjust . Down quilt is a bit hot for me at night.

Pros: Big room! Comfy bed even the pillows are too hard for us, nice bathroom, helpful staffs, location bit far from restaurant, stores, etc, but near kanazawa station, overall recommended...
