This was my second ryokan and, even if it was not as luxurious as the previous one I stayed in, I think the overall experience was better. It is fairly well located (Kanazawa is a small town so anywhere is pretty much fine, transportation can be confusing as there is few signaling in english even in google maps and japantravel). The personnel was serious but friendly and spoke fairly understandable English. The room was spacious and had private bathrooms (rare in ryokans) and even if you used the public bath you could enter with tattoos (which was a concern for me). I highly recommend having dinner in your room, breakfast was ok but I liked dinner much better. The hotel is quiet and cozy.

I was hoping for more amenities as ryokans are usually stay-in hotels where you can relax after days of traveling, but there is not much to do within the hotel.

Comfortable ryokan not far from kenroku-en gardens by foot. The food served in our room for dinner was really nice, with a great selection of dishes including local specialities. For breakfast, we could choose between Western or Japanese style, and they also served good coffee. We stayed there for two nights, and the food served was different on both days, primarily a selection of fresh ingredients. There was fresh tea in our room and it was replenished twice a day. Staff was very nice. It’s a short taxi or bus ride from the train stations.

Our bedroom window was frosted, so although we got daylight, we couldn’t really see outside.

Nakayasu Ryokan is a charming, homey feeling place to stay in an excellent location in Kanazawa. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to accommodate our 1-year old daughter. The room was spacious and clean and we were very comfortable on the traditional futons. The onsen is small and simple but all you need and I had it to myself most nights - the perfect way to end the day. The traditional Japanese breakfast each morning was delicious. Great value for money.

Very good location: the ryokan is about a 20 minute walk from Kanazawa station and a few minutes walking from Omicho Market and the castle grounds. The room was a good size (at least for one person's use) and the shared toilet and sento were kept very clean. The staff is friendly and attentive: one day I came back with wet shoes and they dried them for me. I had to leave early one morning, and they gave me breakfast 30 minutes earlier than the usual breakfast time.

The only reason why I am not putting a 10 in my rating is because the wifi was not working in my room and I had to go somewhere else to use the internet.

Authentic Ryokan with a traditional room with Futons etc. We deliberately chose a room without bathroom facilities so that we HAD TO enjoy the full Japanese Ryokan experience with ONSEN! Rooms are basic but comfortable. Futons excellent and the food......superb! We had the Japanese Breakfast and Dinner and enjoyed every mouthful. The young staff were great to deal with and attentive as was the owner. Very quiet neighbourhood with easy walking access to all the town has to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed the cultural experience.

Nothing! It's a Japanese Ryokan and not a modern Western hotel so make sure you understand what that entails before you book otherwise you might get a shock!!

We have stayed at this ryokan before and loved it so much that we just had to come back! Everything is amazing. Friendly staff, nice room and good location. The onsen and shared bathing and toilet facilities were always clean and comfortable to use. During our stay it was never crowded. The absolute highlight of this place is the food. You get a very delicious and big dinner served in your room. The breakfast was also very delicious. We can’t wait to visit again!

A simple and well maintained ryokan. Room was simple. Staff was helpful despite being limited in English. Meals (Breakfast and dinner) were enjoyable. On the first night, we were served by a girl who appears to be a university student and probably was on the job recently. Not familiar with the layout of the food to be served and also the setting of the futon bed. Appreciate her willingness and courage to explain in English. Hotel was not full when we were there. Had use of the common bath entirely to ourselves. Location is in the centre of the three tourist places - the old town, the Kanazawa palace/ Kurokuen Garden and the market.

Nothing in particular.

This ryokan is great! The location is in the centre, near most sightseeing spots in Kanazawa and a 15/20 minute easy walk from the train station. The staff doesn’t speak much English but it was easy to communicate nonetheless. The beds are typical Japanese, so expect to sleep on the floor =) I found it comfortable but not everyone in my group agreed. We booked our stay with dinner and breakfast, the portions are quite generous and the food is of good quality!

The staffs were friendly and willing to accommodate changes. We forgot to reserve dinner and they were able to add it for the second night of our stay. The room were old but spacious and clean. The location was not next to major tourist attractions but there were reasonably close bus stop.

The in-room toilet has no bidet, but the common toilet does.

The staff serves the dishes exactly as you would expect for a traditional ryokan in the correct order. They explain every dish. The whole family is very accommodating, and it felt a real joy and honour to stay in such a loved ryokan. I felt well rested and glad we included this as part of our trip. We will be going back.
