My first real experience of a ryoken and it was excellent. The room was just a matress on the floor, a low table and cupboard. Basic, but super clean, comfortable and what I was looking for. I took the Japanese breakfast most mornings and it was excellent and had their Japanese dinner one evening which was quite an experience - in a good way :-) Everyone was very friendly - spoke some English or spoke it well enough (my Japanese is very poor by comparison) -the ryoken was spotlessly clean and it was in a nice area with access to the Castle, the River and older disctricts, plus the Onsen was excellent.

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.

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.

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 typical ryokan, beautiful experience :) we had also the Japanese dinner and breakfast, very recommended! The staff was super kind and the property is near the centre and major attractions.

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.

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.

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!

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.
