"I love the Tanbo no Yu! I can tell that its being fixed up more everytime I come here! This time, really enjoyed the pure stream bath it was very warm and a comfortable place to chat with my husband. The food was delicious and healthy with many flavors and unlimited hokuriku rice!

"It was a wonderfully unique experience to stay at this Japanese hotel with a private onsen bath in our room. I would recommend staying at least 2 nights as it is in a remote location 40 min from downtown Kanazawa. They have a free shuttle to and from Kanazawa that you need to organize with the hotel. The multi-course Japanese breakfast in a private room was a treat. The staff was very responsive and helpful despite not speaking much English.

"A beautiful place and a real honour to stay here as a westerner. Robes and amenities were provided and the baths were excellent including an outdoor area. Very helpful and friendly staff made us feel welcomed. There was even a mini stamp rally around the building which was great for us and our teen child to explore. The building interior was like a maze with beautiful objects and resting places all around and overlooking the garden."

"I really enjoyed my stay at this countryside onsen hotel. They offer a shuttle pickup from the nearby Shinkansen station, but since I had a rental car, I drove myself.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The property conveniently features an EV/Tesla charger, though the rooms still use traditional physical keys instead of keycards - which I actually preferred!
Overall, it was a great stay. Out of my 10-day trip across Japan, this place remains one of my favorite memories."

"This was my first time to stay in a Ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) and I really like it! The hotel was a bit old but still in good condition. They have indoor & outdoor hotspring pool plus many other facilities for you to enjoy during your stay. Buffet breakfast & dinner both were great too. Free shuttle service available too to pick up from/drop off to Kagaonsen station. Thumb up!"

My go-to place in Kanazawa. The staff all speak English and are incredibly friendly and sweet! Love the Japanese style room and in-house onsen.
This inn is gorgeous; when I went to check-in the first day I was in awe taking in the place, and each day I spent the morning walking around and enjoying the peace and quiet.
A bit further from the city center but easy to get to by bus/taxi in 10-15 minutes; however, the neighborhood this place in was so charming. My brother and I spent a couple days...

Kind and welcoming staff showed us to our rooms and helped with shoes and umbrellas while it was raining, and provided hot tea in the room every day. Rooms are large and beautiful and perfectly maintained. The location is a fairly short walk to kanazawa’s gardens and castle, but the nearby restaurants are few. (We did not try the Ryokan’s breakfast or dinner because of special dietary restrictions.)

What a great experience. I only wish we could stay longer. A real Japanese experience. The staff is amazingly helpful. And it’s close to the train station.

This is a beautiful Ryokan! Best experience in Japan. The water in the Onsen is composed of minerals that help the skin. There is also a massage chair foot massage device. Highly recommended! The Ryokan gives you the feeling of being back in Old Japan with a 5 star service.
