Murataya, hotel in Kanazawa

Murataya is 2 km from JR Kanazawa Train Station and a 10-minute walk from Kenroku-en Garden. The traditional Japanese accommodation offers a public bath and free Wi-Fi access.

Firstly DONT worry about the "shared bathroom" because all it means is that the bathroom isnt connected to your bedroom, but you dont share it with anyone lol. The staff explain that its private, ie: you lock it from the inside and you have the entire thing to yourself. Also dont worry about noise. The walls arent made of paper, for all intents and purposes its a standard hotel room just with traditional japanese furnishings. Those were the 2 biggest concerns I had, but Im so glad I just went for it anyway because this is now one of my favourite places to visit. Genuinely Lovely staff, great location, I absolutely loved everything about this cute little traditional Japanese inn. If youre traveling to Kanazawa, chances are its because you want to experience traditional Japan, and if your like me, I didnt just want to stay in another boring b and b, I wanted something a little more fitting, and this place was 100% perfect. I could of happily stayed a week. I honestly miss it already. - dont let the star rating fool you. It may not be a luxury hotel, but thats kind of the point. - Shes got it where it counts, and great value to boot. After a week already in Japan, this was like a refreshing little holiday within a holiday. Id do it again in a heartbeat.

Kinjohro, hotel in Kanazawa

Set in Kanazawa, 400 metres from Kanazawa Castle, Kinjohro features air-conditioned rooms and free private parking. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The Japanese breakfast was fantastic. The western breakfast was subpar in comparison. I would have loved to have had some homemade jam with my bread. Usually western breakfast does not need olive oil with their bread. Olive oil for dipping is more of a lunch/dinner option.

    Great traditional accommodation (Ryokan) with private Onsen. Very spacious rooms with authentic furniture including tatami mats. Coffee, drinks and snacks are for free. The location ist perfect for visiting the beautiful Kenroku-en Garden, the nearby castle or the traditional Geisha quarter (Higashi chaya). The Kanazawa station is approx. 25 minutes away (walking distance) and 10 minutes by taxi.

    I really recommend staying in this ryokan. Staff is doing everything to make you feel like home. Walking distance to main attractions in the city. You can take a bus or walk to the station for about 20 minutes. Bathing in onsen and sleeping on futon was a unique experience. Breakfast was very delicious, everything was fresh.

    Great location, close to the Geisha Village, Castle and a 20 minute walk from many bars and restaurants. The ryokan was lovely and traditional, I loved the Yukata's, the onsen which we were able to use privately, the green tea in our rooms and the tatami mats and futon set up. Bungo and his mother were very kind, friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a traditional experience at a reasonable price, then I would recommend this ryokan.

    Very beautiful, typical japanese ryokan, huge room with beautiful tatami and view on internal garden. The landlady is very welcoming, proactive and nice. The room had a WC and basin; the internal onsen (common bath) was very confortable, spacious and clean, with a typical hot tub. The position is very central and quiet. An excellent stay that surpassed our expectations

    Wonderful Ryokan experience. Bungo was extremely helpful and explained the best sights in Kanazawa for us to visit. The room was large with a tatami floor and looked onto a beautiful garden. Yukatas were provided for walking around the Ryokan. Clean facilities and some amenities provided. The baths were able to be used by myself and my husband privately. It was about 25 minutes walk from the station and very close to Kanazawa castle gardens.

    Beautiful little traditional Ryokan, we felt right at home. The tatami room with futon bed was very comfortable and super clean. Japanese breakfast in the morning was good. Great location, walking distance from the market, and all major attractions. The host was super friendly as well.

    Authentic ryokan yet very foreigner-friendly. Immerse yourself in a traditional Japanese house and enjoy the onsen, the sleep on the futon and a tasty local breakfast. Definitely worth trying out!

    The whole Ryokan experience, sleeping on a futon over a tatame and including Onsen bath. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was an amazing experience for the whole family. And the hosts don’t measure efforts to make you feel welcome.

    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.
